MODULE INFORMATION
Information Design - Exercise 1 @ Quantify & Visualise Data.
INSTRUCTION
Information must be presented as is. We are required to arrange the objects with relevant indicators written out with pens to help visualise the quantity and data. After, take a picture of the final assembly and upload into Google Drive folder.
Materials needed : buttons / lego / coins etc.
EXPLORATION
During week 1's lecture session (11 Jan 2023), we had been roughly briefed to prepare materials for the next class in order to complete the exercise.
Since I not having all of the materials indicated or even others materials with large amount / different varieties, I decided to find inspiration via window-shopping to get the materials. After some slots of comparison and ideation, I finally decided on buying a packet of lego.
For this piece of exercise, I used lego as my data collection. Rather than sorted the LEGO pieces in a random pile, I organised them by colour and different amount of block. Also, we had required to quantify (count) our chosen items and arrange them into a presentable layout or chart.

After sorting all them in a layout, I captured a picture and edit it using Procreate, to create the data visualisation.

Feedback _ week 5 / 07.02.2023
Types of lego is quite interesting. But, since you arranged it and presented it in such a nice manner, what about presenting the quantity (amount) in an equally nice manner?

#Explanation:
For this pieces, I used lego as my data collection and grouped them according to their types of blocks. After sorting them all in a layout, I visualised them by wrote the data - colour and number of each types of block. For example :
➜ 1 block - Black: 6, Pink: 3 in a total of 9
➜ 2 block - Yellow: 6, Dark Grey: 3, Grey: 9 in a total of 18
➜ 3 block - Grey: 7 in a total of 7
➜ 3 block (L shape) - Grey: 13, White: 17 in a total 30
➜ 4 block - Grey: 6, White: 9 in a total of 15
➜ 6 block - Brown: 4, Grey: 10, White: 22 in a total of 36
➜ 8 block - Grey: 5, White: 2 in a total of 7
Information Design - Exercise 2 @ L.A.T.C.H Infographic
INSTRUCTION
Organise a group of information into a visual poster that combined and utilises the LATCH principles (Location, Alphabet, Time, Category and Hierarchy) - min 4
Size resolution: 1240 × 1750 pixels or 2048 × 2048 pixels
EXPLORATION
As the requirement, I did some research on L.A.T.C.H principles as well as infographics. After the research and exploration, I finalised the data under the PDF below :
Fig 2.1 Data collection & ideation (week 2 / 22.01.2023)
After having the art direction, I continued my ideation (4 of the Latch) ;
➜ Location ; Fire 🔥 , Water💧, Grass 🌳
➜ Alphabet ; The name of each Pokémon
➜ Category ; 3 types of Pokémon - Fire 🔥 , Water💧, Grass 🌳
➜ Hierarchy ; Evolution Chart (From the lowest level > the highest level)
Fig 2.2 Ideation (week 2 / 22.01.2023)
Then, I designed and finalised the most satisfied layout outcome.

Feedback _ week 4 / 03.02.2023
Suggested to utilise the negative space more.

Feedback _ week 6 / 17.02.2023
Look much better.

FEEDBACK
Week 5 / 07.02.2023 @ Exercise 1 Draft Outcome
Types of lego is quite interesting. But, since you arranged it and presented it in such a nice manner, what about presenting the quantity (amount) in an equally nice manner?
Week 4 / 03.02.2023 @ Exercise 2 Draft Outcome
Suggested to utilise the negative space more.
Week 6 / 17.02.2023 @ Exercise 2 Final Outcome
Look much better.
REFLECTION
Throughout the tasks, I developed a sense of understanding of the LATCH principles. It may be said that the LATCH principle is seemed to be an important feature or a basic necessity when designing an infographic poster. Consequently, with the aid of the LATCH principle, an infographic poster will emerge that is more legible and instructive for the reader.
