Week 1 Tasks:

  2. Flip class week 1: Re-design one poorly constructed infographic poster with CANVA, post it in blog.✅
  3. Project 2: Exercises 3 Kinetic Typography: As a group, decide the music to use.✅

Week 2
This week, Mr. Martin reconfirmed the details of our previous assignments and explained L.A.T.C.H. to us. Afterwards, we discussed in groups and completed the sildes.





INSTRUCTIONS

Exercise 1: Quantifiable Information

Arrange objects (Lego/ buttons/ coins etc) with relevant indicators written out with pens to help we visualize the quantity and data. Take a picture of the final assembly and upload into our’s Google Drive folder.

My first ideas is using wood stick / keychain / card, so I'm using color wood stick for this exercise. 





First attempt

Final Work


Flip class week 1

We need re-design one poorly constructed infographic poster with CANVA, post it in blog.

Hiring poster Source

I feel this poster lacks professionalism; the layout, design, and the order of elements are all inappropriate.





Final Poster 

I redesigned this poster, arranging the information from top to bottom according to its importance, while maintaining the original content.

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


Location / Alphabet / Time / Category / Hierarchy

In this exercise, we will need to: 
Organize a group of information into a visual poster that combines and utilizes the LATCH principles (Minimum 4). 

Use a digital photo editing / illustration software available to assemble the pokemons into a LATCH infographic poster. We can re-use back the images of the monsters, but do create the rest of own visuals to complete the poster. 

Few of suggested compiled data

I plan to make a Pokemon poster.
Location: Island floating on sky,Pokémon distribution
Alphabet: Pokémon Evolution Order
Time: Pokémon Evolution Order
Category: Pokémon's types (Grass, Fire, Water...)
Hierarchy: Pokémon Evolution Order

Final Work

I added some user-friendly features to the group settings, such as increasing or decreasing the number of group members, and adding itinerary planning. Each member can add a new itinerary here. On the homepage you can see your personal information, current promotions, and an AI customer service button in the lower right corner. On the "Services" page, I use colors on the buttons to categorize services. I use a bright red button color for mainstream services such as...
