1. CLASS SUMMARY 

    During our first offline meeting for this class, Mr Fauzi carefully explained us the steps needed to accomplish our first task, quantifiable information. In this project, we are expected to arrange objects like M&M, coins, beads and many others with relevant indicators written out with pen in order to help us visualize the quantity and data.

2. INSTRUCTIONS

• 1. Gather objects and separate them in categories such as, colors, size, pattern, and other quantifiable factor ; box of toy bricks / jar of button / jar of marble / set of colorful rubber strap etc.
• Quantify the chosen objects and arrange them into a presentable layout or chart.

example :

Submission: 

E-Portfolio report consists of :

1. Photo of the random objects before sorting out 

2. Objects sorted out by categories (2 - 5 category) 

3. Write and design the information on a piece of papers (A3 drawing paper)

3. PROCESS WORK

Data :

    First step on my work process was the data I have shown from two packets of Fox candies. Scattering them without organizing first, showing the actual data before any arranging.

Sorted :

1.

    After I have shown the raw data, I started with sorting them out based on flavours. I have then divided them in 4 different categories of flavours, and colors.

2.

    Not only sorted by their flavour and color, I also sorted them based on quantities.

Arranged :   

    After sorting them, I started arranging them in colors from dark to light. I use this arrangement for my chart which was able to appear a lot more neat with the colors that are similar placed side by side.

Presented visually :

    For my first poster layout, I them into what seem like a chart. This made it clear about their flavour and quantities. Numbering them in the side was on the purpose for audience to clearly see the amount of candies in each flavours.

    The other layout I put the candies into is grouping them and arranging them in lines. I also put arrows to show flavours and quantities.

    Another layout I made is putting them in circle and lining them with the same color as the candy itself.

Explain with a story :

    For the final story of my poster, I came up with the information about the candies. From, ingredients, nutrition, flavours, and presenting them by colors.

4. REFLECTION :

Experience :

    During this project, I have learned to organize things and presenting them to make it easier for people to look and understand it. Although I have put candy as my subject, we can apply it to many other things like groceries items.

Observations : 

    I learned the importance to fully understand our task to get a clear vision on what and how something is suppose to be done. Therefore, makes your progress easier to work on.

Findings :

    I find this first Information design to be interesting. I realize that there is many ways to make certain topic we are learning a lot more fun. I also found the importance of a clear and understandable poster for people to look and actually be interested with it.
