Bad Typography Around Me








Hello everyone!  

The typography of one kind or another is all around us, and that’s why bad typography is everywhere. But to be honest, bad typography is irritating and in some cases, it's very confusing. So here are 3 bad typography examples around me that makes me so confused with these three products.

The first product that I choose is IAMS. The reason why I choose this IAMS cat food is that it makes me confused about how I should pronounce the name because at first, I pronounce "IAMSO". The cat's paw beside the "S" actually seems like "O" because of the size and the color of typography is the same. But for me, I think some people who don't know about the name of this product will automatically confuse either it is IAMS OR IAMSO.  

 The second product is SMART KEYLER, which is an insect organic spray. In my opinion, the typography "KEYLER" is not suitable for this product because why not just put "KILLER" instead of "KEY". This is because people will think about what is the use of the products because the name plays an important role in one product

 The third one is the EAST LANDS hand sanitizer. The first thing that pops out in my mind when I looked at this product is "it's that a toner?" or "what is this? Lotion?". The packaging itself is really confusing and it doesn't look like hand sanitizer at all. But, just forget about packaging. The typeface is really unsuitable for medical products and it is not formal typography for hand sanitizer. The typography of medical products should be BOLD and FORMAL.
For example:
Meijer Hand Sanitizer Original, 8 oz Hand Sanitizer | Meijer ...Dettol Instant Hand Sanitizer Refresh 200ml

That all for today.

LAB TEST PRACTICE

Image
Hello Everyone!  So here is a poster, Wreck-It Ralph movie. I just try and error to put all the main characters in 1 poster. Actually, why I did this is because I want to practice for my Lab Test so yah this is the result. hahaha  Not perfect and not so "kemas", but I did my best. Oh actually I've done my real Lab Test, and I will not post it here so I just post my practice cropping. For my Lab test, I have done my best but yeah I submitted to my lecturer a bit late because I lost my idea because I was too nervous at that time because I woke up late. But It's okay I hope that Sir Khai will deduct only 2 marks or maybe 1 mark hahaha I hope so. Wish me luck!  Oh yeah, one more thing! Actually, I want to show the video and steps for cropping this poster, but I will update later. Goodbye, everyone! Lots of love,  M.

Final Magazine Cover Design

Image
Well, hello hello guys! Uuuu I look so hot in this magazine cover, yeah hahaha. Okay here is the final look for my magazine cover assignment. For the Masthead, why I choose BLUSH because I want to show that this is a teen fashion magazine with feminine looks. The font that I used for this magazine's masthead is GlossandBloom font and I think I chose the best font for this magazine look. I put all the cover magazine elements, as you can see there is a selling line which is teen fashion trend, Dateline, the main image which is my own face (feeling like a model), the main cover line that is Maisarah Hamdan success revealed!,3 bubble cover line and also bar code at the bottom left of the magazine. Alhamdulillah, I put all my efforts to finish this design and I hope that I will get A for this Graphic and Intelligence Design Subject. Pray for me! Lots of love, M.
