Typography
















1. You must identify which category the type is under
2. Where and what was the type used for?
3. Do you find the typeface to be appropriate for its purpose?







1. Slab Serif
2. Location: school
    Purpose: Poster
3. It's a simple design that works well with the concept. It's not overdone which is appropriate for the message the poster expresses






1. Script
2. Location: School
    Purpose: Poster
3. In my opinion, a decorative font would have been the better option. The font does not enhance the meaning but it is still a nice looking font
1. Sans Serif
2. Location: School
    Purpose: Poster
3. It's basic but acceptable. The decoration and color enhances the idea so the font is fine as it is
1. Modern
2. Location: Library
    Purpose: Book
3. I see no harm in using a Modern Font in this display






1. Old School
2. Location: Library
    Purpose: Logo design on box
3. It is deemed appropriate as it is simple and goes well with the concept

1. Decorative
2. Location: Library
    Purpose: Book
3. I'm uncertain whether the design is appropriate as I have never read the book before. However it is a unique font which I like

The goal of cooking club is to practice skills of cooking and to have fun with it. Make good food by trying new recipes and include healthy and filling ingredients. It is really just for fun. It is not guided by me, but rather by the participants. 

Summary
Cooking Club is run by one teacher with many hungry students. Meeting once a week, a recipe is given to the students with the ingredients needed. In preparation, food needs to be cut (ex: Fruits, vegetables, meat), cooked (meat, egg), mixed (spices), and other various necessities. Injuries have occurred during the events such as cuts in the skin and burns. However in the end result many amazing food has been made from chicken to tacos to ice cream. During these sessions, kids learn new recipes, new techniques and new food. There's always a mess at the end with dirty dishes and pans but it is worth it.

Favorite Logo

Skype Logo

 

Skype has a very simple and basic logo but even so it has a nice design. When you see the logo, it is obvious what it represents, Skype. It has a simple white and blue color, nothing to extreme. The cloud outline adds a significance to the logo that represents the company.

Veterinaire Logo

The logo is extremely creative and really incorporates the message and purpose of the company. From looking at the design and name, it must represent some form of vet or other associations with animal. Three distinct animals are seen using the contrast between white and blue. The colors are simple and nice. Overall the idea is clear, easy and memorable.
