Typographic Skills Week 3: Quotes Typography

For the 3rd week of this class, we are given a task to create a typography design using Quotes.

Some of it that I scribble in my sketches are:

"All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother" - Abraham Lincoln

"I walk slowly, but I never walk backwards" - Abraham Lincoln

"I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it" - Clint Eastwood

"What's that smell?" - Tyler Durden (Fight Club, 1999 Film)

"The things you own, end up owning you" - Chuck Palahniuk


But the one that I end up with, is this.
"I'd rather betray the world, than let the world betray me" - Cao Cao

Typographic Skills Week 2: Sketches of Hotel Logo (El Grande)

For the 2nd work in Typographic Skills class, we have to create a hotel logo using these keywords:
- Contemporary
- Minimalist
- Expensive
- Trendy
- Fashionable

after hours of researching and discussing, these are the sketches that were accepted.
The reason I go with El Grande as the hotel name is because it is Latin for 'The Largest'. It is to give a feeling of grandeur and majestic, with a bit of exotic added into it.

Most of the 'G' in the sketches are in capital letter to relate it to its meaning. Grande. Large/Big/Great.

The artwork below is my 1st logo using Adobe Illustrator.
The word used is 'tuah' which is malay for luck in case you didn't quite understand it.
The reason i choose the word is because my name's meaning is 'lucky one'.
