MY GOAL

     My personal project’s topic is Eco-Friendly font, which can make big impact on

environmental and economical field by lots of holes on it. Another topic is that sharing my

final product with people who they want to use it. The Eco-Friendly font, which is my main

topic, has several beneficial impacts. First, it is a font that is beneficial to the environment

because it can save 35.62% amount of ink and toner when we print; while printing 1000

pages with normal font, we can print 13,500 pages with eco-friendly font. This is proven by

the test, which was progressed with the software "Apfill". This test measured the surface

area of the printed ink on the paper; the white paper is 0%, which has nothing printed on

and the paper, which takes ink on its whole surface, is 100%. The result of the test was

that the ink-stained area of the paper with eco-friendly font was 11.17%, which is less

35.62% than the ink-stained area of paper with normal font. In short, the surface area of

the ink that is printed on the paper showed great reduction by using the eco-friendly font.

Moreover, using eco-friendly font can reduce the amount of CO2. The function of saving

ink affects directly on the amount of CO2 that is caused from production of ink. Also,

saving ink results in saving ink cartridge. Every year, over 1000 used ink cartridges are

incinerated and reclaimed. The Eco-friendly font will lengthen their lives, and that makes

less CO2, which is made from incineration of finished cartridge. Second, the eco-friendly

font is also beneficial economically because it can save much ink that using normal font;

by saving ink, users can save money for printing. To make clear, in Korea, a company

prints 10,000 pages yearly in average. Using eco-friendly font can save this; about

$44(¥280) can be saved each year. However, there are also some disadvantages of

using eco-friendly font. First, it is limited to use with black and white print because it is only

set for black printing. In color print, the product will be in lower quality than using black and

white print. Second, it can only used in size of 7-12 because in bigger size, the holes

                                                3
appear.

     AOIs that I am focusing on are Environment and Human Ingenuity. The reason why I

chose those AOIs is that creating font is related to Human Ingenuity. I planned to design

the font by myself without other’s help so it should relates to Human Ingenuity. Also, the

advantages of the eco-friendly font are mainly about preventing and reducing the pollution

created by printing, so it should relate to Environment.

     Goal of my personal project is to create my own eco-friendly font by myself. Also, I

aim to share my final product with BISS community. By this, I’d like to promote eco-friendly

font and make them aware such a small and simple things like using eco-font can change

the world. To realize my goal, when I came up with my final product in March 14, I

published a wiki page about my eco-friendly font. In that web page, the people can

download my font and get the information about the font. I also put the survey link on that

page for getting feedback from the users of the font.

     For checking how successful my product is, I am going to use survey. By using some

convenient survey tool in online, I already made the survey that ask the impact that my

font made on them. Moreover, I can get the feedback from the users of the font. The

reason why I chose the survey to measure the success of my project is that online survey

is very convenient. I do not need to visit the people one by one to ask the questions and

listen to their answers. Also, they do not need to face my face directly and answer to me

so they can criticize and give me advice my product more freely and without pressure.



SELECTION OF SOURCES

     For my personal project, I used variety of sources. Mostly, I used Internet as the main

source. The Internet provided lots of sub-sources that supported my project a lot. First, I

used search engine for copious research. I used various search engine because each

search engine has their own strong point. For example, I used Google when I need broad

                                              4
pictures and broad information of the topic. But when I need some news articles and blog

post for some individual’s opinion, I used Yahoo to search those. These search engine is

very useful tool to get the collection of information but there is also incredible fatal. The

search engines do not prove the every pieces of information from their site. In short, there

is no proof of accuracy of whole bunch of data. In result, I had to judge those data myself

each by each.

     The second sub-source provided by Internet was a web site, which is font-creator

site. This web site provides the high quality of font creating service. They gave me the

template and when I turn it in; the template with my designed font should be submitted.

Submitted template is translated into computer font file right after payment. The reason

why I chose this font-creator site is that this site is that I could believe this site. I checked

all the comments of the web-site users to see their satisfaction of the service. Most of them

said that this web site is error-less site and the cost of service is reasonable. For one

template, I should pay $9.95. Also, the reason why I could trust this site was that they

provide the preview service to the users before paying. So I could see what my font would

like to look like exactly before make my decision solid.

     The second sub-source of Internet is the online survey tool, SurveyMonkey.

SurveyMonkey provides the survey creating service for free. I chose this source is that I

saw lots of people, who use this source as their product survey in class. Also, Mrs. Lindsay

recommended using SurveyMonkey in G9 Computer Technology class. I also did research

on this website to see safety of the site.

     Besides Internet, I used Mrs. Krengel, who is my personal project’s supervisor, as a

feedback giver. Mrs. Krengel gave me lots of useful feedback after watching my final

product and wikispaces. Those feedbacks were used for improving my project better and

check that I am on the right track. Her feedback’s accuracy is really high because she is

the one who looked up my whole project from the beginning and who is one of my grader

                                                 5
of my personal project.



APPLICATION OF INFORMATION

     Before using the information from the sources, I should check and clarify the

accuracy of the information. Firstly, I used the information, which is posted on the official

website such as CNN because those official web site published their data with specific

proof. Second, I used the information that I can notice author of that information. These

were the way that I pre-checked the information, which would like to be used in my

personal project. After this pre-checking step, I categorized the information that I got into

two sections: Eco-Friendly font part and font making process part.

     For the Eco-Friendly font, I used the information about the advantage and

disadvantage of the font. Mainly, information about the font was “how it can benefit to our

life practically” This information by research on search engine was used to inspire me to

make solid my topic of personal project and make sure which point I have to focus on. In

the result of analysis of information, I found out that the eco-friendly font is hugely helpful

in environmental field, so I chose Environment as the project AOI. Like this, the information

was not only used to help me to come up with better idea and result but also help other to

have significant idea and concept of my personal project. To illustrate this point, my

wikispaces, which is the place that I documented all the process of the project, is the way

to people can get the information about my personal project. Ms. Lindsay and Ms. Krengel

have the concept and detail idea of my font. This made them possible to know where I am

and lead me to the right track. It also helped them to get the specific idea of my project and

helped me to get proper advice from the two supervisors, and also some visitors of my

wikispaces.

     During these processes, there were some questions poped up in my head. First

question was “why proof of accuracy is incredibly important?” The reason why I brought up

                                                6
this question is that I spent much time on prove and judge the accuracy of the various

information from search-engine. I didn’t know why this process has to take this much part

of my project but I figured out the answer soon. I experienced that the information without

proof can cause miss-direction of my whole project. During the research, I found one web

site that provides how much money can be saved by using eco-friendly font. They said

over $100 can be saved per year. There was no proof that I can check out but that data

fascinated me to move the focus to economical issue from the environmental issue. But

few days later, I found using the eco-font could save another site that also provides how

much money. They said only $44 per year can be saved and they suggested this idea with

the test that measures the amount of stained-ink area on the paper with eco-friendly font.

That test definitely proved that data is correct and another one is totally exaggerated and

wrong.

     The second question that I had was “how can I effectively show the concept of my

project to the people by using my wikispaces?” I had this question when I finished

categorizing the information. The task that I had to do was presenting information on my

wikispaces. I found out the answer very easily because Ms. Lindsay, who is the head

supervisor of G10 personal project. She suggested the template on her wikispaces for all

G10 students who are working on the personal project. She gave the list of questions that I

had to answer to qualify rubric of the project. The answer that I got from Ms. Lindsay does

not need to have any doubt on it because it was a guideline of grading.



ACHIEVING MY GOAL

     My personal project’s product was not that successful. The main specialty of the font

was the holes that make the font eco-friendly. Those holes were gone during the process

in the font-creator web site. I guess the web site’s application of font creating assumed the

holes on the template as a error during scanning process so they filled out those holes by

                                              7
themselves. Or, I guess that the holes that I put the template were too small to read for the

web-site’s font creating system. As a result, originally I made more than 30 holes for one

letter in the template but in the real font file, there are only 10 holes for one letter. More

than half of holes were diminished during the process and than means the impacts of my

font also decreased. In short, my font is not working as what I expected. However, in other

point of view, it was quite successful because the promotion of my font was successful. I

made a short video and a poster to promote my font through the BISS community. I also

created one wikispaces page that provides download service of my font and providing

information of eco-friendly font. I sent the link of the web page through the Studywiz mail,

which is the mail system shared with whole BISS community. Most of them visited my web

site and downloaded my font. Some of them answered to my survey for the feedback and

gave their friendly advice to me by mail or leaving comment on the discussion tab in my

wikispaces. Following the survey, most of them answered, they became aware how my

font can reduce environmental pollution and amount of pollution that caused by printing

with just normal font. So I think even though my product was not that successful, my goal

was cleared pretty successfully.

     To check the process of making font was well-organized as what I planed in

specification, I compared each step I took with the planed process in specification. First,

following the process journal, I considered few options for font-creator website. From the

research, I found the best website and learned how to use that web site. Then, I

downloaded the template, which that web site provide. I finished putting my design on the

template and submit. Then, I charged money and download the final product, which is the

font. Most of the steps that I took fit to the process specifications that I planned. However, I

mistakenly missed one step, which was doing pre-view. To clarify, I did preview but I didn’t

make sure that preview shows everything that I expected. On the specification, there is a

step for preview to check quality of the product. I missed that part because I didn’t see that

                                                8
there were no holes. That results the 50% fail of my goal, which is making perfect eco-

friendly font.



REFLECTION ON LEARNING

     From the Personal Project, I learned variety things in many different aspects. First, I

learned time managing skill by the project. The Personal Project is the project, which is

designed by myself start from the end. It means that I have to mange all the time schedule

without help to do not miss the deadline by myself unlike school assignments that have

due date and the reminders of the teachers. I missed few deadlines by my mistake

because I missed my own deadline for research. One missing deadline messed up whole

timetable because all the schedules were delayed because of the first missing deadline. I

realized that time managing skill is very important skill because time management skill

should be used in every works. Learning this time management skill from the project

probably help out all the tasks and assessments. Using time wisely will lead to well-

organized and successful result of every task. Another skill that I learned from the project

was the research skill. During researching the information, which the Personal Project

required to me, Not only research in broad fields, but also proving and judging of data was

the crucial skill that I learned in this project. Most of the work in school asks me to do

research but I was always not sure about reliability of the data from the Internet. All tips

that I learned from the project will be used really usefully in all the schoolwork and tasks in

my life.

     From my AOIs, which are Environment and Human Ingenuity, taught me various

things. First, from the Environment AOI, I learned that the environmental issue should be

considered as the number one because it directly relates to the human’s life. It decides the

future of human’s life because if the environmental issues do not resolve by human, who

cause a all those problems, will cause the terrible disaster. Also, by focusing the

                                               9
Environment AOI, I could aware that small and simple things like using eco-friendly font

when do print can make the difference and that small difference can affect world-widely.

Secondly, Human Ingenuity taught me what aspects are need to be a creator. For being a

good creator, the people should think creatively and tried to see in different point of view

with others. However, thinking differently with others is the not only way to be a good

creator. They should care variety of factors that their creativity can affect on. Such as

economical beneficial and environmental beneficial are the examples of those factors. I

would say Human Ingenuity is the meeting point of all the AOIs.

       By doing the Personal Project, I developed as a learner, too. I showed great

development on the aspect of a thinker. I was thoughtful when I faced with the problems

during the project. I independently solve the problems and make my own responsible

decision. By my thoughtful attitude toward the project, I could lead my project without

struggling for a long time in one problem. For example, when I met the problem of

choosing the tool to share my font with BISS community, I thoughtfully analyzed the

problem and possible solutions. I independently solved this problem by check what is the

most familiar tool for BISS community and I took the responsibility of my decision because

that decision is also a part of my project. Besides aspect of the thinker, I also improved as

a communicator. During the keep touching with supervisor, I could be trained as a

communicator, who can understand and get the useful and helpful advice from the people.

Also, during the process of getting feedback from BISS community made me as an active

communicator, who can lead and control the communication by my need. Moreover, the

Personal Project trained me as a good listener because to know others opinion, listening is

the best way to understand them.

  • 3. MY GOAL My personal project’s topic is Eco-Friendly font, which can make big impact on environmental and economical field by lots of holes on it. Another topic is that sharing my final product with people who they want to use it. The Eco-Friendly font, which is my main topic, has several beneficial impacts. First, it is a font that is beneficial to the environment because it can save 35.62% amount of ink and toner when we print; while printing 1000 pages with normal font, we can print 13,500 pages with eco-friendly font. This is proven by the test, which was progressed with the software "Apfill". This test measured the surface area of the printed ink on the paper; the white paper is 0%, which has nothing printed on and the paper, which takes ink on its whole surface, is 100%. The result of the test was that the ink-stained area of the paper with eco-friendly font was 11.17%, which is less 35.62% than the ink-stained area of paper with normal font. In short, the surface area of the ink that is printed on the paper showed great reduction by using the eco-friendly font. Moreover, using eco-friendly font can reduce the amount of CO2. The function of saving ink affects directly on the amount of CO2 that is caused from production of ink. Also, saving ink results in saving ink cartridge. Every year, over 1000 used ink cartridges are incinerated and reclaimed. The Eco-friendly font will lengthen their lives, and that makes less CO2, which is made from incineration of finished cartridge. Second, the eco-friendly font is also beneficial economically because it can save much ink that using normal font; by saving ink, users can save money for printing. To make clear, in Korea, a company prints 10,000 pages yearly in average. Using eco-friendly font can save this; about $44(¥280) can be saved each year. However, there are also some disadvantages of using eco-friendly font. First, it is limited to use with black and white print because it is only set for black printing. In color print, the product will be in lower quality than using black and white print. Second, it can only used in size of 7-12 because in bigger size, the holes 3
  • 4. appear. AOIs that I am focusing on are Environment and Human Ingenuity. The reason why I chose those AOIs is that creating font is related to Human Ingenuity. I planned to design the font by myself without other’s help so it should relates to Human Ingenuity. Also, the advantages of the eco-friendly font are mainly about preventing and reducing the pollution created by printing, so it should relate to Environment. Goal of my personal project is to create my own eco-friendly font by myself. Also, I aim to share my final product with BISS community. By this, I’d like to promote eco-friendly font and make them aware such a small and simple things like using eco-font can change the world. To realize my goal, when I came up with my final product in March 14, I published a wiki page about my eco-friendly font. In that web page, the people can download my font and get the information about the font. I also put the survey link on that page for getting feedback from the users of the font. For checking how successful my product is, I am going to use survey. By using some convenient survey tool in online, I already made the survey that ask the impact that my font made on them. Moreover, I can get the feedback from the users of the font. The reason why I chose the survey to measure the success of my project is that online survey is very convenient. I do not need to visit the people one by one to ask the questions and listen to their answers. Also, they do not need to face my face directly and answer to me so they can criticize and give me advice my product more freely and without pressure. SELECTION OF SOURCES For my personal project, I used variety of sources. Mostly, I used Internet as the main source. The Internet provided lots of sub-sources that supported my project a lot. First, I used search engine for copious research. I used various search engine because each search engine has their own strong point. For example, I used Google when I need broad 4
  • 5. pictures and broad information of the topic. But when I need some news articles and blog post for some individual’s opinion, I used Yahoo to search those. These search engine is very useful tool to get the collection of information but there is also incredible fatal. The search engines do not prove the every pieces of information from their site. In short, there is no proof of accuracy of whole bunch of data. In result, I had to judge those data myself each by each. The second sub-source provided by Internet was a web site, which is font-creator site. This web site provides the high quality of font creating service. They gave me the template and when I turn it in; the template with my designed font should be submitted. Submitted template is translated into computer font file right after payment. The reason why I chose this font-creator site is that this site is that I could believe this site. I checked all the comments of the web-site users to see their satisfaction of the service. Most of them said that this web site is error-less site and the cost of service is reasonable. For one template, I should pay $9.95. Also, the reason why I could trust this site was that they provide the preview service to the users before paying. So I could see what my font would like to look like exactly before make my decision solid. The second sub-source of Internet is the online survey tool, SurveyMonkey. SurveyMonkey provides the survey creating service for free. I chose this source is that I saw lots of people, who use this source as their product survey in class. Also, Mrs. Lindsay recommended using SurveyMonkey in G9 Computer Technology class. I also did research on this website to see safety of the site. Besides Internet, I used Mrs. Krengel, who is my personal project’s supervisor, as a feedback giver. Mrs. Krengel gave me lots of useful feedback after watching my final product and wikispaces. Those feedbacks were used for improving my project better and check that I am on the right track. Her feedback’s accuracy is really high because she is the one who looked up my whole project from the beginning and who is one of my grader 5
  • 6. of my personal project. APPLICATION OF INFORMATION Before using the information from the sources, I should check and clarify the accuracy of the information. Firstly, I used the information, which is posted on the official website such as CNN because those official web site published their data with specific proof. Second, I used the information that I can notice author of that information. These were the way that I pre-checked the information, which would like to be used in my personal project. After this pre-checking step, I categorized the information that I got into two sections: Eco-Friendly font part and font making process part. For the Eco-Friendly font, I used the information about the advantage and disadvantage of the font. Mainly, information about the font was “how it can benefit to our life practically” This information by research on search engine was used to inspire me to make solid my topic of personal project and make sure which point I have to focus on. In the result of analysis of information, I found out that the eco-friendly font is hugely helpful in environmental field, so I chose Environment as the project AOI. Like this, the information was not only used to help me to come up with better idea and result but also help other to have significant idea and concept of my personal project. To illustrate this point, my wikispaces, which is the place that I documented all the process of the project, is the way to people can get the information about my personal project. Ms. Lindsay and Ms. Krengel have the concept and detail idea of my font. This made them possible to know where I am and lead me to the right track. It also helped them to get the specific idea of my project and helped me to get proper advice from the two supervisors, and also some visitors of my wikispaces. During these processes, there were some questions poped up in my head. First question was “why proof of accuracy is incredibly important?” The reason why I brought up 6
  • 7. this question is that I spent much time on prove and judge the accuracy of the various information from search-engine. I didn’t know why this process has to take this much part of my project but I figured out the answer soon. I experienced that the information without proof can cause miss-direction of my whole project. During the research, I found one web site that provides how much money can be saved by using eco-friendly font. They said over $100 can be saved per year. There was no proof that I can check out but that data fascinated me to move the focus to economical issue from the environmental issue. But few days later, I found using the eco-font could save another site that also provides how much money. They said only $44 per year can be saved and they suggested this idea with the test that measures the amount of stained-ink area on the paper with eco-friendly font. That test definitely proved that data is correct and another one is totally exaggerated and wrong. The second question that I had was “how can I effectively show the concept of my project to the people by using my wikispaces?” I had this question when I finished categorizing the information. The task that I had to do was presenting information on my wikispaces. I found out the answer very easily because Ms. Lindsay, who is the head supervisor of G10 personal project. She suggested the template on her wikispaces for all G10 students who are working on the personal project. She gave the list of questions that I had to answer to qualify rubric of the project. The answer that I got from Ms. Lindsay does not need to have any doubt on it because it was a guideline of grading. ACHIEVING MY GOAL My personal project’s product was not that successful. The main specialty of the font was the holes that make the font eco-friendly. Those holes were gone during the process in the font-creator web site. I guess the web site’s application of font creating assumed the holes on the template as a error during scanning process so they filled out those holes by 7
  • 8. themselves. Or, I guess that the holes that I put the template were too small to read for the web-site’s font creating system. As a result, originally I made more than 30 holes for one letter in the template but in the real font file, there are only 10 holes for one letter. More than half of holes were diminished during the process and than means the impacts of my font also decreased. In short, my font is not working as what I expected. However, in other point of view, it was quite successful because the promotion of my font was successful. I made a short video and a poster to promote my font through the BISS community. I also created one wikispaces page that provides download service of my font and providing information of eco-friendly font. I sent the link of the web page through the Studywiz mail, which is the mail system shared with whole BISS community. Most of them visited my web site and downloaded my font. Some of them answered to my survey for the feedback and gave their friendly advice to me by mail or leaving comment on the discussion tab in my wikispaces. Following the survey, most of them answered, they became aware how my font can reduce environmental pollution and amount of pollution that caused by printing with just normal font. So I think even though my product was not that successful, my goal was cleared pretty successfully. To check the process of making font was well-organized as what I planed in specification, I compared each step I took with the planed process in specification. First, following the process journal, I considered few options for font-creator website. From the research, I found the best website and learned how to use that web site. Then, I downloaded the template, which that web site provide. I finished putting my design on the template and submit. Then, I charged money and download the final product, which is the font. Most of the steps that I took fit to the process specifications that I planned. However, I mistakenly missed one step, which was doing pre-view. To clarify, I did preview but I didn’t make sure that preview shows everything that I expected. On the specification, there is a step for preview to check quality of the product. I missed that part because I didn’t see that 8
  • 9. there were no holes. That results the 50% fail of my goal, which is making perfect eco- friendly font. REFLECTION ON LEARNING From the Personal Project, I learned variety things in many different aspects. First, I learned time managing skill by the project. The Personal Project is the project, which is designed by myself start from the end. It means that I have to mange all the time schedule without help to do not miss the deadline by myself unlike school assignments that have due date and the reminders of the teachers. I missed few deadlines by my mistake because I missed my own deadline for research. One missing deadline messed up whole timetable because all the schedules were delayed because of the first missing deadline. I realized that time managing skill is very important skill because time management skill should be used in every works. Learning this time management skill from the project probably help out all the tasks and assessments. Using time wisely will lead to well- organized and successful result of every task. Another skill that I learned from the project was the research skill. During researching the information, which the Personal Project required to me, Not only research in broad fields, but also proving and judging of data was the crucial skill that I learned in this project. Most of the work in school asks me to do research but I was always not sure about reliability of the data from the Internet. All tips that I learned from the project will be used really usefully in all the schoolwork and tasks in my life. From my AOIs, which are Environment and Human Ingenuity, taught me various things. First, from the Environment AOI, I learned that the environmental issue should be considered as the number one because it directly relates to the human’s life. It decides the future of human’s life because if the environmental issues do not resolve by human, who cause a all those problems, will cause the terrible disaster. Also, by focusing the 9
  • 10. Environment AOI, I could aware that small and simple things like using eco-friendly font when do print can make the difference and that small difference can affect world-widely. Secondly, Human Ingenuity taught me what aspects are need to be a creator. For being a good creator, the people should think creatively and tried to see in different point of view with others. However, thinking differently with others is the not only way to be a good creator. They should care variety of factors that their creativity can affect on. Such as economical beneficial and environmental beneficial are the examples of those factors. I would say Human Ingenuity is the meeting point of all the AOIs. By doing the Personal Project, I developed as a learner, too. I showed great development on the aspect of a thinker. I was thoughtful when I faced with the problems during the project. I independently solve the problems and make my own responsible decision. By my thoughtful attitude toward the project, I could lead my project without struggling for a long time in one problem. For example, when I met the problem of choosing the tool to share my font with BISS community, I thoughtfully analyzed the problem and possible solutions. I independently solved this problem by check what is the most familiar tool for BISS community and I took the responsibility of my decision because that decision is also a part of my project. Besides aspect of the thinker, I also improved as a communicator. During the keep touching with supervisor, I could be trained as a communicator, who can understand and get the useful and helpful advice from the people. Also, during the process of getting feedback from BISS community made me as an active communicator, who can lead and control the communication by my need. Moreover, the Personal Project trained me as a good listener because to know others opinion, listening is the best way to understand them. 10
