Reflect/Summarize
What have you found about game design so far?

What are some elements/requirements of game design and creating a good game that you feel strongly about? Tell me about it.

Are there any elements/requirements to creating a fun AND educational game that you're struggling with? Tell me about it.



We want the board game we have also found couple of sites where we can create the game pieces and the games. We also found a website where it tells how the actual game is created and published .http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Your-Own-Board-Game. http://playtmg.com/pages/how-to-make-board-game. http://www.toolsforeducators.com/boardgames/




The design and the rules are some elements/requirements of creating a good game that I feel strongly about because it has to capture you attention and be unique with the rules and how the player can win. 


We dont really have a clear picture what our board came will look like or what topic to make the main point of the game. There so many things in a multimedia we learned.

Last thoughts on Typography:

How do you feel about typography? What form of typography most interests you? Do you feel that all forms of writing are typography? What about Graffiti?Even if illegal, do you feel its a form of typography?



I like typography and the diffient things I could do with words and letters. I like the Sheriff type fonts because to me they make the words look like something professional. I do think that any form of writing can be a type of typography because Its your own unique design. I think Graffiti is a type of typography because its just words or picture on the wall despite the fact its considered to be vandalism. 

Drawing with Typography Project

Investigate:
I am planning on doing Drawing with Typography. I don't have to do much research because I already know what drawing with typeography.I am going to do a picture of some sort of makeup item but I dont know exactly what . These are the picture I have in my mind.

Plan:

I am going to a picture of lipstick and add words on it. The base will have all the snymmons used with the word beauty. The middle will have the names of the famous beauty magazines for women. I will also have the word lipstick on it to show what I drew with my words. Finally the top I will the word that most  is associated with the color red which is love. At the end I will outline the whole thing.

Evaluate: 

The only problem that I had with this project was getting the text to look like what I wanted to. Not all text would fit so I had to go back and resize a lot. Also the line tool I couldn't get the curves I wanted so I had to use the shape tool. Other than that I really liked the project. The best thing I liked about this project was the layers in photoshop. It made it so much easier to move things without moving things I didn't want to move. I could Move each individual letters.

 How would you define Typography? Is it more than just words? Tell me your thoughts/feelings on typography.





The official definitation of typography is 
1.     the art or process of printing with type.

2.

the work of setting and arranging types and of printing fromthem.

3.

the general character or appearance of printed matter

but in my opinion its when you decide how you want you font to look like. Basically the design and details of the font. Yes its more than just words. Its how the words look like at the end. It may be bold or elegant, or block letters whatever, it just how the font looks like. I like this very much with a bunch of texts you can create any image you have in mind and how it may look like, is it tall or short or elegent, colofful.
