LECTURES

Week 3 (20.2.2024)

Group Task (FLIP Presentation)

For FLIP 2, we presented the 2nd topic, which is L.A.T.C.H Principles. 


Week 4 (27.2.2024)

Group Task (FLIP Presentation)

In week 4 we presented the 3rd topic, Miller's Law.

Require

An infographic poster for ONE recipe selected from Pasta Grannies. Study one video, break down, and chunk the preparation and cooking process into an instructable poster. Try to capture each Grandma’s personality and unique dish identity in your poster as part of the narrative structure.


These infographics present complex information quickly and clearly, with symbols charts, and diagrams. With an information graphic, computer scientists, mathematicians, and statisticians develop and communicate concepts using a single symbol to process information.


Your job is to transmit a set of instructions and at the same time educate the audience. Infographics should be fun, it should simplify the context while representing information graphically.


Because “A picture is worth a thousand words”. Yours should reflect the following:

To transmit or communicate a message.

To present large amounts of information in a compact and easy-to-understand way.

To reveal the data. Discovering cause-effect relations, knowing what’s happening.

To periodically monitor the evolution of certain parameters.

You will develop an infographic to communicate a concept, topic, or idea - IN THIS CASE A COMPLETE SET INSTRUCTION TO A RECIPE.

The infographic should take viewers visually through the information you want them to learn or know. Based on your infographic the audience should be able to learn through viewing and interpreting the various graphical information and text.


You will be required to evaluate what parts of the topic, concept, or idea are most important to tell/demonstrate and ask how you would represent each piece of information best. You will also decide how to graphically represent the most salient facts about your topic , concept, or idea for student learning. This includes the finishing outcome which could be a slick animation or even a rough stop motion.


Theoretical (Information Design Framework)

Information type

Device

Principles (LATCH etc)

Aesthetics i.e: isometric, simplified illustrations

Requirement: You will need to reflect the following (assessment criteria):

Practical - photo editing/illustration software

Graphs, charts, and diagrams

Poster size: 1240 × 1750 pixels or 2048 × 2048 pixels

Figure 1: Chestnut cake

I then gathered reference materials so that I could draw them accurately.

1. Progress

Below is the recipe, steps and ingredients for chestnut cake that I typed up after watching the video several times.

step text

2. Sketch

sketch 1

sketch 2

sketch 3

Finally, the third draft was adoptedmake.

I will be using Illustarator software for painting. First I draw all the materials.


I will draw all the steps later.


Because the poster I made is about chestnut cake. So the color background I want to make it chocolate color, or red

                                                                        

Later I added grandma to the picture


I got feedback during the class that the background color should be similar to the real thing, gradients can be used, and there are too many decorations.
After getting this feedback, I recreated the poster





The final poster is completed


Final Instructable Infographics Poster


FEEDBACKS

Week 3 / Project 1

The background color should be similar to the food, you can use gradients, and there should not be too many decorations.

Reflection

For Project 1, I thought it would be difficult at first because I am not very good at drawing with AI. I learned a lot of skills with every practice and project.
