IKEA, I'll meet you soon.

After planning the exhibition, it is the time to check and look up where I can find all things that I need. so, I need a frame... uncle Google is really helpful for this. So, I look up many places who create or sell a wood frame.

and finally,
everything was solved by IKEA. I can even check the stocks at their website!
I Love You IKEA, and we'll be meeting soon. I plan to go there on Sunday!

Testing the cheat posters

I tried to do some user testing (while I'm doing my test print) and I find most people understand the message! good!

Below is the possible 2 colors that I tried to print and compare which one is the best for the last final assessment.

Guide for print body text

For my final outcome, I want to create a useful guideline for designer to understand what's the wrong leading based on the type size. I limit the size only from 8pt to 11pt. This is because my intention is to make designer understand the the long body text (the potential and important one) should not exceed 11 pt.

However, this is a test print.. I'm gonna ask around if there are any of my friend could give me a feedback. Are is this useful for them, are they understand the point... and so on.

Develop of Final Cheat Posters!

Finally! I hope these posters could convey the message!

Metaphor for Rules book

Thought it would be more exciting using metaphor to explain the type arrangements, alignments and other elements to designers (since they are more into visuals) so I capture a few shots with my friends around studio for this (thanks a bunch all friends who willing to be my model!!)

here is some of the shots:

using people height to show caps and no caps

using people legs to show alignment! hehe

Still struggling...

it's freakin' me out! Suddenly my aesthetic values are gone? hiks...
Every time I designing, I always thought about 'this didn't work..' because it isn't align at left, it's not efficient enough...and so on...

Although... the truth is.. this is a poster, not books or body copy..
But thanks to DC roundtable, I guess that where's I finally back to my direction and understand how these posters should be designed.
