CONNECTING THE DOTS
Isometric Type is a very light and interesting project that required you to visualise the things which are present, yet invisible for the eye. We can spend hours staring at an isometric grid, find shapes and forms that we never knew existed. The isometric grid is like a secret coded message that only the people with strong visualisation can read, And this reminds me of something that we did more than 7 weeks earlier, Fundamentals of Visual Language 1, which was also based on our ability to visualise. This was the project that taught me how to be “crazy” and It was this ability to be crazy that enabled me to represent and see clouds in circles, confusion in squares, ellipses in triangles.
Representing S with squares
Representing V with isometric grid
Seeing a triangle in circles
Seeing a V in cuboid
The connection between the two is based on the need to see the invisible and visualise forms with the help of an abstract context. After a while in FVL1 I was able to see every shape in every form, it comes naturally to you, likewise in the isometric types I have now started to see every shapes and every form in a piece of paper with lines. I am excited to take my learning forward and further sharpen my visualisation skills to make me more sensitive as a designer.
However, it didn’t just stop there. I every soon realised that there is also a connecting with F2F. Understanding the relationship between shapes and form and learning how to make 3 dimensional objects was the essence of F2F which I also saw in isometric typed. The connection between the two was based on there emphasis on transforming shapes into forms Via extrusion

ONE BEST WORK FROM EVERYDAY
DAY 1 I believe that this sheet best displays my progress on day 1. I was enjoying myself and I can see that enjoyment on this sheet of paper.
DAY 2
this was my best work from day 2 as you can clearly see my progress and improved understanding of the concept As well as the willingness to try something new.
DAY 3
I struggled a lot on day 3, however at the end of the day I was able to make this sheet and it made me feel satisfied with my improvement. Thus this is my best work from that day
DAY 4
i was pretty happy with my final work. It was really simple and straight forward yet it was pleasing to look at
MY ERRORS FROM EACH DAY
DAY 1
my error on day one was during the warm up activity. i was unable to correctly make one of the forms shown to us, at that time I felt like it was correct but now with an improved understanding on the concept I can see that the alignment of the squares was not right.
DAY 2
Making K during the second day proved to be a bit of a struggle for me. Unlike the other alphabets I had to practice more to achieve the correct form, I could not get the right thickness of the letter
DAY 3
my error during day 3 was the B, the thickness of the lines were too much and my curved didn’t over lap and looked separate
DAY 4
This was my first attempt for the final submission however i messed up the perspective of the alphabets at the top

Excellent "connecting the dots"!
