For this exercise 1, we will doing on tutorial class (08.02.2024). And i will bring the button and a papper for the class.

                                                                                                                                            

Exercise 1: Quantify & visualize data - week 1

Quantify Objects :

Quantify (count) your chosen items and arrange the objects into a presentable layout or chart. Take a picture and submit.

Requirements :

Information must be presented as is. You are required to arrange the objects with relevant indicators written out with pens to help you visualize the quantity and data. Take a picture of the final assembly and upload into yourE-portfolio and Google Classroom.

                                                                                                                                            

Progress : 

08.02.2024 Tutorial

At tutorial class, sir let us using us tools : ( A3 paper, pen, and  buttons) to doing the exercise 1. So i started to do.

First, i bring lots of different buttons. They looks colorful and have different size. So i need to start to think about how to do the arrangement and the data sorting.

That's what i do , size and different holes.

I plan to classify them into colors, different number of holes, sizes, materials. I think it is more beautiful and clear to expand the meetings in a circular manner, and mark my data table on the left side of them to express my data graph more directly.

I marked the total in the lower right corner, and the title of the data graph is: Button, so that everything is simple, clear and beautiful.

Then this is the final outcome. Well, sir said it looks clearly, yeah and i'm hope to hear that, i'm happy.

Exercise 1 08.02.2024

                                                                                                                                            

Exercise 2: L.A.T.C.H - week 2

Location / Alphabet / Time / Category / Hierarchy

Organize a group of information into a visual poster that combines and utilizes the LATCH principles (Minimum 4)
These are a few of the suggested compiled data you can use or, you can pick any topic you want:

• Pokedex
• FFXIV Bestiary
• Dinosaur

Requirements: Size resolution: 1240 × 1750 pixels or 2048 × 2048 pixels. Use the digital photo editing/illustration software available to assemble the Pokemon into a LATCH infographic poster. You can re-use back the images of the monsters but do create the rest of your visuals to complete the poster.

                                                                                                                                            

Progress : 

First , for the LATCH, i chose 4 of them which is :

• Category
• Alphabet
• Location
• Hierarchy

So i chose Pokemon to do my exercise first.

https://pokemondb.net/pokedex/

For each of them :

• Category: Water、Fire、Grass、Fairy
• Alphabet: Name & Number
• Location: River、Lava、Land、Mountain
• Hierarchy: Evolution

My chosen with Pokemon

Then i started to do visual reference. 15.02.2024

This inspried me how to do a complete infographic

I started to search more visual reference. And this is the different type of Pokemon. I decide to chose 4 of them to do my exercise.

Then I search other visual ref. which inspried me a lot .

map ref.

map ref.2

lava ref.

This one inspried me and i want to design a little bit like this , not just a map. 

So i designed a sketch .

I think this is the good one i can follow, so i started to do it on Illustrator.

I created the mountaion and other first.

I design the different types on different environment, and i added 1,2,3 to distinguish between levels of evolution.

Water - River

Fairy - Mountain

Fire - Lava

Grass - Ground

Then i started put pokemon on it.

So this is the final

FLIP 1: Types of Infographic

Types of infographics by group 2-slides -week 1

RE-DESIGNING AN INFOGRAPHICS

Each of us need to pick one free online infographic tool and re-design one poorly constructed infographic poster through our own experimentation with the selected tool.

Chosen poorly designed infographic - List infographic

Issues:

• Too simple
• All is in one color
• Very boring and not clear
• No number

Progress:

I changed some color , put number on it and put them clear, it looks better.
