About the song
Digital Love
Created by French electronic duo Daft Punk as a third single for their 2001 album “discovery”.
I remember the first time I heard this song in back in 2002 which aired on MTV. And my first impression is, what a powerful song created based on a dream of a guy who is in love with a girl and I this dream, there’s a lot of beautiful things happened and a very sweet , memorable and how he wish this could happened to him everyday in reallife.
And to me this is one the best song created by them as the melody created could transport listener feelings toward other own personal dimension, their own lyrical imagination and how a lot of people who hear the song can relate to it.
1 minute 50 second.
Kinetic typography
Before started my kinectic typography, I started to plan of what type of concept I would like to do for the background so, I watch and studied some of the kinetic typography of a electronic dance song, so that I could get some ideas and concept. And basically the concept of my own kinetic typography is, I wanted to created like when people watching it, they have a feeling of a dream.
Here’s a few images from the kinetic typography I’ve watched for my research process:
Idea’s and development | using Adobe After Effect
Last night I had a dream about you
In this dream I'm dancing right beside you
And it looked like everyone was having fun
The kind of feeling I've waited so long
Don't stop come a little closer
As we jam the rhythm gets stronger
There's nothing wrong with just a little little fun
We were dancing all night long
The time is right to put my arms around you
You're feeling right
You wrap your arms around too
But suddenly I feel the shining sun
Before I knew it this dream was all gone
Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
I wish this dream comes true
Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
We'll make this dream come true
The first thing I do is copy the lyric from “http://www.sing365.com “.
Ideas & Development
Basically the concept of my own kinetic typography is, I wanted to created like when people watching it, they have a feeling of a dream As like the first time I listened to the song back in 2002. Until now, I still got the same feeling when listening to this song.
The typeface I use for this song is Aharoni. I use it because the characteristic of aharoni defines memories and the design are perfectly constructed for my kinetic typography. Before this I wanted to use another typeface which is sams’town. But it is just unsuitable because of the characteristic are more to nightclubs and cabaret.
Image shown below is a different between those 2 font type.
the final font type I choose for my kinetic typography
aharoni
the first font type I use which is unsuitable
Sam’s town
IMAGE SHOWN BELOW IS THE COMPOSITION USING AHARONI FONT TYPE.
Background
The background I added a starburst In the simulation effect preset. It will give a dreamy like expression and moods towards the typography with an additional glow effect that has been applied for the starburst
INTRODUCTION
For this assignment, I have been done some research thru the internet. A research of finding an interesting place in
But yeah, the name of this places are really interesting, but I have never been to all this places. Because I plan on design a name of a place base on my experience on that place so that people could understand what I feel about the places . So I ended up choosing the place that I’m familiar and have a lot of experience, which is Bukit Bintang.

|Bukit Bintang|
I have been stay at Kampung Pandan for about 19 years. And my home was actually very near to Bukit Bintang, it’s like a 5-10 minute drive to that area. And as I remember, I use to walk from my home to bukit bintang, yeah it’s kind of very far if u are like 15 and walk there just for shopping activity with friends. What I realize is from my experience , Bukit Bintang is the place that will always be there for everybody.
Almost all of the famous shopping complex that comes in people’s mind are in this street. From Berjaya Times Square ("world's largest building ever built in a single phase”, along with Bukit Bintang Plaza, Imbi Plaza, Fahrenheit 88, Low Yat Plaza, Starhill Gallery, Sungei Wang Plaza, Lot 10 and the elegant Pavilion KL. That’s explain why it is one of the busiest shopping havens in the city. Fashions, IT, sports, indoor theme park, wonderful choices of food ,vibrant and colourful nightlife you just have to name it, and you’ll be probably find it here. And of course, it is also famous with massage, spa, and sex service which I see it as one of the negative enegy in this place. You can spot them at the corner street or the sidewalk late at night till nearly dawn. And what I actually feel and think is, there’s a negative and positive energy in this place. I could relate it as a metaphor like “there were this one girl who go there for shopping, while there’s another girl who go there to do her daily task as a stripper at night”.
That is why I choose the design which was base on positive and negative character of this place. Good girl and bad girl.
Idea development
|Bukit Bintang|
The font that I choose for this design is angelic war ( for the word “bukit”)while the other word which is “bintang” I use trajan pro for the font and a silhouette of a lady who carrying a shopping bag which representing the alphabet “I “and the other one is also a silhouette but a stripper/pole dancing lady which representing the alphabet “T”.

Research
-Hospital-
Hospital, it’s a place were people getting treated, get well, died, consult. To me It is a place that show’s sober, and mystery for those who get in there. If it’s a fine answer for their disease or a cure, it will be fine . if they got the answer they didn’t expected, sober will arise on their face. So I choose to adapt a device that was one of the important device at the hospital for the design.
Idea development
-Hospital-
The design I base on my sketch which depict and got an idea from a heart rate monitor. Which is basically monitoring device that allows a subject to measure their heart rate in real time or record their heart rate for later study.
I think it Is one of the important device in a hospital.
I use “utsaah” font with a combination of a red cross replacing the alphabet “T”, the there’s a rate that shaped like a triangle replace the alphabet “A”.

Impression and opinion
For this past few week, I have been doing my own personal research about Robert Hunter Middleton. he’s like the kind of mysterious, hardworking and a dedicated craftsman font designer that I would like to know. He designed nearly one hundred typefaces and all of it to me are a perfectly coordinated design and have it’s own characteristic. He can perfectly design a existing typefaces and come up with a practical new designs .
The first time I recognize one of his typeface is stencil, which actually existed any in action drama series and war movies that I’ve watch ever since I was a child which I am attracted to it. And of course, as we observe it, we could see it anywhere in our surroundings. It more like a strong, industrial and show power and bravery. It’s also to me like a symbol of a industrial transition .The television series I used to watch when I was a child which is the” A-Team” the logo they use is stencil, which one of his creation. And also one of my favourite war movie which is “Full Metal Jacket” which was directed by my favourite legendary film director “Stanley Kubrick”, the title of the movie used a army-themed displays which is also a stencil font for the title. It was design in 1937, but to me it is already futuristic and this graffiti like font always existed and used in the future. This type of font are like graffiti in a perfectly shaped and coordinated designed.
Philosophy
During his career, Middleton designed nearly one hundred typefaces. Three of them stand out from his lifetime production as examples of unique creative excellence; Eusebius, Stellar, and Delphian Open Title. It was the Eusebius italic that gave him the first chance to display his natural talent, with Stellar, he explored the variable-weight sans serifs landscape, a brave design move that was brought to its final conclusion by Hermann Zapf's Optima, twenty nine years later. His tour de force, Delphian Open Title, invokes that rare intellectual response, admiration. At
Robert Hunter Middleton exemplifies the practical creative type designer, one who has both feet firmly planted on the ground. By providing high quality typefaces for the economically priced

He was also a founding member of the 27 Chicago Designers. Along with Herbert Bayer and others he helped to found the Aspen Design Conference.
He was also interested in paste papers for book binding and had accumulated over 150 designs for binding papers and had a sample book of the designs which he could reproduce. Middleton also learned punch cutting from Victor Hammer and later completed the Andromaque face after Hammer had died.
