Lecture

Need to do research for the task and come up with 3 typographically designed options that more or less adhere to the letter writing conventions. We need to do love letter to our love one with 3 different type of arrangement. Mr. Vinod thought us about the type of arrangement that related with love letter. Basically, we need to write personal love letter to our love one.

Things to concern yourself with:
• letter content (1pg or lesser)
• format (margins)
• choice of font, or font combinations
• 3 options

Instructions
In this task, you will write (type) a single page love letter to your beloved who has been abroad for the last 6 months. The year is 1986, the world wide web or internet isn’t yet available to the masses, however the desktop computer has been invented. Letters are still a popular means to send and receive news. As, such it has been your practice to write one letter a week on your new desktop computer, print it, seal it in an envelop and post it to your beloved. This single page letter must be written sensibly and sensitively.
Your task is to use Adobe Illustrator to format this letter in a classical letter writing format (in the days of old) – when letter writing was done by hand – using a suitable font (or a combination of fonts), and appropriate margins, alignment, point size, leading and line length.
You will be required to print two copies; one without creases or folds, the other for postage. The letter for posting will require an envelop, as such thought must be put into the writing of the address on the envelop. You will post this letter to yourself, and you will bring this letter to class for submission and discussion. You will as always document all the processes, drafts and the final results on your eportfolio.

Reflection
Experience
It's not easy to come out an idea to create love letter because I never proposed my girlfriends with love letter. Furthermore, I have to come out with 3 option of love letter which make me more headache to choose the design that suitable for the letter. So I take it as my first time of doing it.
Observation
I have observe that this love letter is not easy to do if i have no heart towards her. It is important to have sincerity for each other. I have to use my feeling towards her by doing this love letter. I also have to design it by knowing her interest and favoritism.
Findings
Before I doing this task, I imagine in my mind "how to tackle her heart?'. I also imagine how to design it by using her favoritism and interest such as flower, colour, and her favorite fonts. By knowing her favorite fonts, I try to create 3 options. This kind of letter will help me in future. Typography help me a lot in-terms of design.
