Expressive word project–Weikang Liang

I really like this project because it was my first time using the InDesign to create my own expressive words. At the beginning, I thought it was easy to create expressive words in my own style. But after I made some of them, my brain was plain because I had no ideas what to create for the next few words. It was fun and enjoyable to select different styles in Helvetica and combine the letters in different ways.

For my expressive words, I used mostly Helvetica LT Std because I think it is straightforward and simple. I bolded them and made them larger. I think my best work is the last page of my pdf which I made romantic in a straight line. In my opinion, I agree that male’s romantic should be straight as a line.

What I learned from this project is that brainstorming is very important as a designer. And it is also very difficult to come up with favorite works. It is hard to create your own words in your own style because after seeing so many style of other works which are already impressive in your mind, you always want to copy them in different style. It is hard, but it is much interesting and proud to have your own designs.

One thought on “Expressive word project–Weikang Liang

  1. I agree, the last page is very strong. You may have misunderstood the assignment. You were to use only one version/weight of Helvetica for all of the words. But overall, very good exploration.
