Week 01 (12/01/2023) 

Flip 1 - Different types of infographic & online tools 

During week 1, we had our very first flip classroom session , where we split into a group and have to find out what are the different types of infographic + the kind of information they’re applicable for plus an example for each identified type. Below are the google slides we have made , and beside we also have an individual task where we need to redesign a poorly designed infographic poster that we personally chosen and redesigned it using infographic tools like Canva.

 

Individual task 

Pick one free online infographic tool and re-design one poorly constructed infographic poster through your own experimentation with the selected tool

Fig 1.0  Chosen Infographic Poster 

After searching for quite a while to looking for a poorly constructed infographic poster, here are the one I chose. There a few reason :

Fig x Close-up Poster Look 

Colour Scheme

Although it use green to represent the natural or trees theme but somehow it look uninteresting and the choice of colour that adds to the clutter while misleading and distracting the reader.

Complicated Comparison 

Noticed there's too many information in this poster (information , chart and illustration) all over the place which causing the reader to do more work to look at the poster

Fig 2.0 Progress in Canva 

In this step, I had used Canva to help me to redesign with its template given, I also re-arrange their information to make it look more appealing. Below are the final infographic design :

Week 03 (26/01/2023) 

Miller's Law : Chunking 

During week 3 , finally will be our group 5 turn to present what we had understand about Miller's Law. Beside Mr Hafiz also showed us about the video that are some game that can trained with our brain using the chunking tricks. From my understanding , Miller's Law it's just like organising and presented the information and it also can be seen when we visit a website or access an application. While the user will be presented with lots of information on the page. As a result, we must try to learn to operate the website that we are aiming for. From navigation, layout, or slider. Everything is set by the designer so that users are not burdened by the amount of information they have to digest. Therefore, we must try to arrange and accommodate so that users are easy to use or digest information available on our products.
