FLIP 1: Types of Infographic

As a group, we were required to research the different types of infographics, the kind of information they are applicable for, and also provide an example for each. We were able to identify 8 types of infographics and their specific uses and then compiled them into the slides as shown below.

Types of infographic

FLIP 2: Saul Wurman's L.A.T.C.H

In our group, we are to present an explanation of the topic and provide examples or scenarios of what information is best utilized with each principle.

FLIP 3: Miller's Law- Chunking

As a group, we are to present an explanation of the topic and provide an example of how to best utilize this technique in terms of visual delivery for each of these approaches:

1. A well-designed infographic

2. UX/UI, web, app, games (screen-based basically)

FLIP 4: Manuel Lima's 9 Directives Manifesto

In our group, we have to present an explanation on this topic and find one example of how to best display and utilize design for each of the directives.

In conclusion, also present one good designed infographic that best illustrates the 9 directives for information visualizations and one poorly designed infographic that failed to address the directives.

Exercise 1

Quantify Objects

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

Deadline: Week 1

Keep it simple, and present the information as clear as possible and as interesting as possible. The aesthetic is key but so does information delivery!

So in this project, I found that I have a lot of coins on my desk. So I use that for this project. First I want to do the qualifying data on how many I have and also the diameter of the coins. However, after I take a close look there is the year the coin was made, I use that for this qualified data exercise.

Exercise 2

Location / Alphabet / Time / Category / Hierarchy
Organize a group of information into a visual poster that combined and utilizes the LATCH principles (min. 4)

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 reuse back the images of the monsters, but do create the rest of your own visuals to complete the poster.

So in this project, I need to use the L.A.T.C.H principle to organize information. Because many people already do a lot using pokemon. I decided to use One-Piece devil fruits as my subject. In here I use L.A.T.C.H. to organize them by The Name of the devil fruits, the Location of the user first using it, the Category/type of the devil fruits itself, and the Time/their debut in the manga.
