Reflection on FLIP

Week 1/ Types of Infographics

Honestly I was still very confuse with what's Information Design, I wasn't sure what does it do. So being chosen to be the group to present this really helped me because we did a lot of research to present this FLIP topic and it kind of helped introduce me to this module and help me get prepared.

Week 2/ Saul Wurman's LATCH

After knowing this it kind of made me appreciate more on my surroundings. To me I don't really know much about theory stuff when I design things it's all just base on my feelings. But knowing the LATCH theory it kind of just reminds me that there are so many things in the world that we just didn't notice. Not just things behind design, but pretty much everything. There are so many thoughts and considerations that goes behind everything that I think I tend to not notice. 

Week 3/ Miller's Law Chunking

It's definitely very helpful to learn these, for me I always just design things base on how I feel. I didn't really have a proper working flow and efficient way of working I just do it. So it's great to learn how to have a more efficient and proper approach when designing things and organising information. It also made me realised that Chunking is being used everywhere, like video games, mobile apps etc. It made me start paying attention to everyday stuff, now when I look at certain things I start to analyse the layout, how was it done and what are the intentions behind it.

Week 4/ Manuel Lima's 9 Directives Manifesto

After this lecture I started questioning all the posters I made for myself because all of it was heavily focused on the aesthetic and texture. I started asking whether if my posters tells any story or is it actually legible, 

After Effect Exercise 





Exercise 1

Quantifiable Information

Quantify raw data and visualise information as photography


Collecting/ Organising data


Fig 1

I decided to use origami starts for this exercise. It's all the same sizes so the only thing I would be able to categorised is the colours and the amount of stars each color have.


Sketches


Fig 2

I really like minimalistic typography and sometimes I like to have lot's of negative space. So I was treating this as if I'm doing a typography poster and I try to focus on the alignments.

Exploration


Fig 3



Fig 3.1



Fig 3.2



Fig 3.4

I decided to redo everything and not use any of these because it feels unrelated to the theme. It looks too clean and minimal but the object I am using are colourful starts so it should be more engaging. So I decided to put them in a proper context, since they are starts why don't I draw a sky and use them as stars.

Second exploration



Fig 4


Fig 5

I was really struggling with this exercise because I just couldn't find a way to present them in an interesting way. I didn't really want to use graphs or anything because I feel like I can do better than that but I just couldn't find a way to do it. I decided to use Fig 4 as my final submission because the context is appropriate. Using paper stars as actual starts, Fig 5 is a little interesting but it just feels plain and Fig 4 was better in terms of context.

Final Submission




Exercise 2 

L.A.T.C.H

Present informations according to the L.A.T.C.H principles.

Progress


Same as the previous exercise, I really struggled a lot for this exercise because I just don't know how to present them in an interesting way. I am insanely terrible at drawing and illustrating so I always relies on images, texture, typography. I try to find graphics and elements that can be use for free.

In this module I learnt about Design Research Methodology. I've learned a lot of things such as how to write better, communicate better verbally. I also learned how to develop critical thinking skills, even though I am still very bad at it, but it has been very helpful. What did I enjoy the most? Honestly I enjoyed experiencing the research process. I never really had an opinion and a lot of times my thinking are influenced by my friends. This module forces me to form my own though process and critical thinking, it was very hard and I feel like I am not in my comfort zone, but because I feel uncomfortable I know that I am pushing myself and trying to be better so that really ...
