LECTURES&PROCESS



In the first week of class, Mr. Martin introduced the concept of information design to the students and explained the overall structure of the course and the tasks to be completed. During this semester, we need to complete some exercises and tasks, some of which are individual and some are group-based. We were divided into groups in the first week and completed some tasks in class. The teacher introduced us to different types of infographics and assigned corresponding exercises. This exercise required us to analyze common things in life through observation, classification, and other methods, and extract relevant information to present it in the form of pictures.



INTRODUCTION


Exercise 1: Quantify & visualize data


Core elements:


Convert everyday things into quantifiable data (such as buttons, building blocks, rainbow candy, coins, etc. )

Use graphics to present quantity, frequency and proportion (that is, extract data from life and correctly express the quantitative relationship visually).


Following the examples given in the requirements, I chose some colored sticks as the items to use. 




Of course, during the process of completing the task, I needed to make their layout more reasonable and more design-oriented. I arranged them in the shape of a rainbow. 




After completing it, I found some problems. These sticks only had color distinctions and no other differences, so I decided to find other items for further analysis and organization. Subsequently, I used coins and colored paper clips to complete this task.




Exercise 2: L.A.T.C.H

03/2/2025 - 23/3/2025/ Week 5 - Week 7 GUAN YAXIN / 0370687 Design Principles / Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media LECTURES All lectures are completed in  Task 1   INTRODUCTION Task 3: Development And Design In the task2, I analyzed my selected paintings and drew three sketches with different compositions. In this task, I will choose one of the three sketches with different compositions as my final sketch. Because the original picture doesn't have a clear focus, all the three compositions I drew give the picture a relatively obvious focus, so it seems that there may be some big changes. I think the content in the second composition picture is the richest. After my consideration, I chose the second sketch. my sketch in task 2 On the basis of this draft, I began to create this complete final task. According to the second draft I drew, I drew the general position of the plant first, and then I will continue to draw on this layer. Because its function is simply to de...
