EXERCISE 1: QUANTIFY& VISUALISE DATA
WEEK 1For the first exercise, we were assigned to quantify the items that we had, categories them into layouts or charts. "Keep it simple, as aesthetic is the key but so does information delivery!" It was a fun experience to dig out items we have at home to quantify them. My first attempt was a box of colorful beads. Unfortunately, it did not have enough variety. Therefore I tried to search for other items, I collected several clips, but the quantity was not enough.

Ms. Anis suggested I go for Option 2, the "Emergency Package." Then I
tried to look for food and snacks I had at home. I placed them on A2 paper
as the sizes of the cookies are big. After consulting Ms.Anis, this set of
snacks has enough variety to quantity. However, I found it too packed
because of the size and not enough space to write. So, I removed some of
it and remained the main categories only.

Feedback from Ms.Anis: "Nice, good idea. It looks like a serving too"

EXERCISE 2: LATCHFor this exercise, we were required to organize a group of information into a visual poster that combined and utilizes the LATCH principles (Location / Alphabet / Time / Category / Hierarchy)Pokedex: https://pokemondb.net/pokedex/Size resolution: 1240 × 1750 pixels
