##4. Teaching process
###(1) Introduction (10 minutes)
1. Show some Chinese character designs with different typography styles, including traditional styles, modern minimalist styles, creative styles, etc., to guide students to observe and express their first feelings.
2. Ask the students about their preliminary understanding of Chinese character typography design. Lead to the theme of this lesson-modern creative Chinese character typography design.
###(2) Knowledge Explanation (20 minutes)
1. Basic Elements of Typography
- space between
- Paragraph-space: A larger paragraph space helps to distinguish the paragraph clearly, allowing the reader to jump between lines quickly. Different types of text (such as body text, headlines, subtitles, etc.) can have different paragraph spacing.
- Line Spacing: The right line spacing can improve reading comfort. If the line spacing is too small, the text will appear crowded and affect the reading experience. If the line spacing is too large, the text will appear loose.
- Character spacing: The adjustment of the word spacing is also very important. For some special font or creative typography needs, the appropriate adjustment of the word spacing can enhance the overall visual effect.
- typeface
- Different font styles have different characteristics. For example, Song style gives people a dignified and beautiful feeling, while black style gives people a simple, modern and heavy feeling. During the design, the appropriate font should be selected according to the theme. For example, the traditional culture theme can choose calligraphy font or Song font with rich cultural meaning; the modern fashion theme can choose simple black or some creative font with a modern sense.
- Number of font: If you are not familiar with the font, it is recommended to try to use a font first to avoid confusion on the page. After mastering it, one could try to match a variety of font combinations, but one had to pay attention to the overall coordination.
- font size
- The title size should be large to highlight the theme and attract the reader's attention. The body size should be moderate, neither too large to cause the page to be messy, nor too small to make it difficult for the reader to obtain necessary information.
- alignment
- Left-alignment was in line with the reading habits of most users from left to right and top to bottom. It could make the text more comfortable to read, but you could also try to align it in the center, right, or both ends according to your creative needs.
2. Thoughts of creative typography
- Breaking through the traditional layout, such as breaking the conventional rectangular text box, using irregular shapes to arrange the text, or combining the text with graphics and images for typography.
- [Use Spatial Layers: By changing the size, color, and clarity of the text, it creates a sense of spatial layering. For example, the title text is highlighted in front, and the main text has a certain sense of retreat.]
- Character Transformation and Reassembly: To perform appropriate transformations on Chinese characters, such as stretching, flattening, twisting, etc., but to ensure that the characters are recognizable. It is also possible to split a single Chinese character into components and then reassemble them into a new form.
###(3) Case Study (20 minutes)
1. Demonstrate many excellent examples of modern creative Chinese character typography design.
- Analyzing how the typography elements in the case were used, such as spacing, font, font size, alignment, etc.
- They discussed the creative points in the case, such as the unique text layout, the combination of other elements, color matching, and so on.
- Students were guided to think about how these cases could be designed according to the theme (such as commercial advertisements, cultural propaganda, works of art, etc.).
###(4) Practice (30 minutes)
1. Arrange design tasks, such as designing a cultural event poster, the layout of the inner pages of a poetry collection, or the Chinese logo of a brand.
2. Students were divided into groups to practice creative Chinese character typography design.
3. The teacher would patrol and guide the students during the operation process, answer the questions the students encountered in a timely manner, and encourage the students to boldly try new ideas.
###(5) Exhibition and Reflection (20 minutes)
1. Each group presented their design.
2. The other groups would evaluate the layout, including its rationality, creativity, and whether it matched the theme.
3. The teacher would summarize and evaluate the student, affirming the student's strengths, pointing out the existing problems, and giving suggestions for improvement.
4. Students were guided to reflect on their own design process and results, thinking about the difficulties they encountered in typography design, how to solve them, and what shortcomings they had.
##5. Reflection on Teaching
1. During the teaching process, it was discovered that some students were too creative and ignored the basic rules of typography, resulting in the design work being less readable. In the future, he needed to emphasize the balance between basic rules and creativity, so that students could understand that creativity was an innovation based on following basic rules.
2. In the case analysis segment, although many types of cases were shown, some students still found it difficult to understand the design ideas behind the creativity. In the future, he could add more interaction sessions to guide students to take the initiative to find problems and raise questions to deepen their understanding of the case.
3. In the practical operation segment, due to limited time, some students were unable to fully perfect their design works. In the next lesson, he could consider extending the practical operation time or simplify the complexity of the design task so that the students had enough time to develop their creativity and improve their work.
4. In the evaluation of works, the students 'evaluation standards were not unified enough, and there were situations where they were more subjective. In the early stages of teaching, students could be guided to establish a clear evaluation standard system, such as evaluating the functionality, aesthetics, and innovation of the typography, so that the evaluation would be more objective and comprehensive.
