Ideation
Figure 1.1 : Pixels Video Game Font (From Pinterest)
The font that I was aiming to design is a pixilated letterforms that appear in the old video game such Mario Bro, Pac-Man and other emerging game where the reason that I am doing this is to bring back the simple pixilated letterform where as nowadays there is not much fonts style that is close to those pixilated font style, so bringing back this letter fonts is be use upcoming game developer and avid fan game lover.

Reflection
Experience
I feeling energetic as I can design what typeface I want and also worry as I
don't know what typefaces style I should go with, so in the process of
brainstorming ideas of what theme that I want my typeface go with as I have
think 3 theme to go with, where in the end after advice the lecture I decided
go with pixels game video game fonts style that like very much.
Observation
From what I have observe in this assignment and exercise, I have learn a great
deal how design process of how advance typography utilize the skills,
experience and lessons learn from the previous typography semester where we
extract the shape from the environment or man-made object such as building and
tools where as this time we are to decide the theme that typeface is inspired
from and design a typeface to address a problem.
Findings
What I have found in advance typography module assignment and exercise is that
picking the topic that you passionate about is good motivator for the designer
as well as sometimes you typeface that you created have to reasons for it
creation where is it address a problem.
