FLIP 3

Miller's Law or chunking refers to the process of taking individual pieces of information and grouping them into larger units. It is a concept that originates from the field of cognitive psychology. By grouping each piece into a large whole, we can improve the amount of information we can remember.

INSTRUCTIONS





FLIP 1: Group Task

For the group task, we were required to find out the different types of infographics, the kind of information they are applicable for, and an example for each identified type.

We found these types of infographics:
  • Timeline infographics
  • Hierarchical infographics
  • Comparison infographics
  • Process infographics
  • Informational infographics
  • Statistical infographics
  • Map infographics
  • Flowchart infographics
  • Interactive infographics
  • List infographics
We then created a slide to describe the kind of information they are applicable for, and an example for each identified type. We divided our own parts for the presentation and got to choose 2 types of infographics so that we can explain them later.

FLIP 1: Individual Task

For the individual task, we were required to pick one free online infographic tool and re-design one poorly constructed infographic poster through our own experimentation with the selected tool.

Infographic tools:

I found this infographic and decided to re-design it.

I decided to pick Canva and re-designed the infographic.

Fig. 3.3 Final Reconstructed Infographic - PDF

It was pretty easy to use Canva since the design tools there are straightforward and the direction is not confusing at all. There were a lot of things that I can add to my infographic which is quite nice since people can be more creative when creating the infographic there. There are a lot of templates that I can choose from and there are so many varieties that I can choose from. Overall I give a rating of 9/10 for Canva.

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

For this task, we were required to present Saul Wurman's L.A.T.C.H principle and provide some examples of what they are best on.

REFLECTIONS

There were a lot of things that I need to pay attention to for this classroom since it's mostly theory. I took some time to understand them one by one.

She showed us her sketch in Photoshop and taught us about panel arrangements, camera angles, compositions and etc.  After sketching several panels we then proceed to a lecture session with Ms. Anis. For the lecture, Ms. Anis presented us with how to make comics.  To startup making comics, we need to come up with an idea. To get ideas, we can get it from our experiences. Good ideas never come from browsing google aimlessly. We can come up with ideas by brainstorming or even mind mapping. 5 Assignment practice (building a mental library) Watch cartoons/movies Play new games Read new mangas/comics/graphic novels Listen to different genres of music (ambient/cultural) Try a new dish.
