Exercises



Progressions

Lego Exercise
As a startup for the project, we as a whole class (divided into groups) were tasked to count the amount of legos that Mr. Hafiz brought. I was in a group with Hesti and Jacky. With that, we classified it by colors and types of the lego.

As data were gained, we were then tasked to make an informational lego poster and a stop motion video displaying the information. 

Flowchart Exercise
We were firstly gathered at a restaurant in the institute that provides board games - we selected one of those and divided ourselves into a group of four. I was grouped with Vinessa, Jacky and Hesti. The board game of our choice was Scrabble


We were then tasked to play in order to get a clearer view on the game instruction and how to play the game. After playing and listing down the notes, we were then tasked to make a poster of it individually.

LATCH Exercise : Pokemon
We were briefed about what LATCH stands for - Location, Alphabet, Time, Category, and Hierarchy. Then, we were tasked to categorize Pokemon based on LATCH (later formed in form of poster and short video). I challenged myself to group it based on the whole 5 aspects despite the difficulty to do it.

Reflection
Having our module focused more on these exercises first rather than straight proceed to the first official project or whatnot that took over (is it) the whole semester, I came with a mixed confused and feeling demotivated at times - but I came to realize that the term 'exercise' is something that you can't just slip it due to the term given that it helps a lot to know more about what is the module about. I gained a lot of new things about Information Design. There are many that we need to consider in order to deliver the information as effecient and easier for the audience to understand, and it's important to know in a way. Worth the exercise it is.
