Task 2: Text Formatting
Research
Before starting Task 2 Text Editorial Formatting I have done some research by
looking visual references of editorial spreads sheet that I can look for
inspiration for my task 2.
Sketches
Figure 1.1: Layout Sketches (20/5/2023)
This is the initial sketches that I have drawn for my text formatting where I
choose the third text editorial option. The plan is that I will use the adobe
illustrator to create an headline where the word heading is spilt into 3
sentences that is place on top of each other with different point size and
font to express a sense of unity that is line up with the headline "Unite to
visualise a better world" and placing the heading in the middle between the
text to express as bridge that keep the two text together to allow easy
reading as well as showing the text is line up with the grid.
Headline design process in Adobe illustrator
Figure 1.2: Headline Design Process (20/5/2023)
The headline "Unite to visualise a better world" is divided into 3 sentences
above each other that have different word font to suit the spaces of the
circle.

Feedback
Week 6 General Feedback:
The text must be align with the cross line alignment and the point size must
be the same with box. Do not use contrast black and white on your layout and also try to avoid hyphenation in the sub text.
Week 7 General Feedback:
The text do not need to be complicated, instead make make it simple and use a better fonts also do not use BODONI.
Reflection
Experience:
The overall experience of this assignment is very eye openings for me as my understanding that the placement and design of the text can really affect the transfer of information to the reader, the lecture and example show by the lecturer has also help us greatly as well.
Observation:
From what I have observe is that this assignment has taught a lot about text editing such as cross alignment, layout, text formatting and many other thing that has help to to experiment and also explore the possibility of what I can design for this text layout as well as the placement of the text could really to the reader.
Findings:
Throughout this assignment I have found that during my research is that are many unique text with different placement and head title design to them where all of them is readable to the reader, which is the most important thing of all in designing and text arrangement as that no matter how beautiful is it as long as it is not readable then it has fail in one of the most important objective in typography that is the transfer of information.
