INSTRUCTION.
Exercise 1: Quantify and Visualize Data.
- Materials: Buttons and LEGOS.
- Description: We have to arrange and organize each object on a piece of A4 paper according to their categories and their indicators data. the information of how the objects were presented must be interesting, clear, and also shows the pieces of information on how the objects organized.
I found this first exercise quiet challenging and also really confusing because at first glance of the buttons I immediately starting to get a headache and it also hurts my eyes, but after I finish arranging those buttons according to their own types of "family" it helps the process of organizing the buttons easier and less confusing.
To be completely honest, I'm not really satisfied with my final work here because of the picture that I took here is not completely organized, as you can see there are some buttons that weren't placed correctly, but overall I'm also quite pleased with the groupings that I have managed to create because not only I've managed to group them into their holes, I also managed to group them based on their sizes, textures, and types.

Exercise 2: L.A.T.C.H
- Materials: Illustration software or any digital editing software.
- Description: We have to create an infographic poster with 4 different Pokémon using any digitalize software. The infographic poster must be according to the L.A.T.C.H principles.
I found this exercise pretty fun to make because I personally used to watch Pokémon all the time and I also like to play Pokémon games on the computer so this exercise is actually quite enjoyable for me to make.
The 4 Pokémon that I choose:Charmander: Fire Type.
- Bulbasaur: Grass Type.
- Squirtle: Water Type.
- Pidgey: Normal and Flying Type.
The legendary world of Pokémon is a place where all living creatures with every kind of size and shape live in peace and harmony, where some of them are raised and trained by their trainers and compete with other Pokémon trainers.

The final work of my Pokémon infographic shows where we can find these Pokémon, the types of Pokémon, and the evolution of the Pokémon, not forget to mention that this Pokémon infographic also shows the Mega Evolution of each Pokémon that I have chosen even though these Pokémon are from the generation 1.
The first thing that I did for this project is sketching the ingredients and the first scene for my second project of the animating using an app called Procreate on my iPad.
After sketching the ingredients, I started to make the omelet infographic recipe by using one of the 9 types of infographics from the last topic, I choose to make this recipe infographic according to the Process infographic. Process infographic shows the steps of creating something step by step, and it is similar to my recipe infographic which is guiding the people step by step of how to make an omelet.
Project 1: Infographic Poster.
Description: We have to create an A3 size infographic poster about a recipe.
In this project 1, I decided to make an omelet as my food for my infographic recipe poster. The reason why I choose omelet as my material for the infographic recipe poster is because of how easy it is to make and the ingredients are also very simple

Project 2: Animated Infographic.
Description: We have to choose between how are we going to animate the first project, by making it into a video or a gif.
For the animation, I decided to make a short video. I used the Adobe After Effect for editing each part of the video and for combining each frame or scene I used the Adobe Premier Pro.
For the video, I was thinking of dividing each scene into three-part, which is the opening ( how to make an omelet ), the ingredients and filling, and the process of making the omelet.

FINAL PROJECT: Animated Infographic.
Description: We have to create a video with a minimum of 1 minute and 30 seconds of timeline or a maximum of 3 minutes.
Week 1: Title and Research.
In the first week of class, we were told to make a group of 4 and we were also given the opportunity to choose our own member, our group consists of 4 people at first which are me Angdio, Nyomanita, Gaby, and Yesika. After the group making, we were told to choose from 5 different topics and we end up choosing the Natural Disaster.
We try to think of some ideas that are not too complicated and simple. since all 4 of us are Indonesian, we started to think about what kind of natural disaster that Indonesia is famous about, a volcano and then we decided to name the main title as the volcano eruption.
Week 2: Narrative and Moodboard.
This week we were told that we had to finish our narrative for the storyline of our video that we were about to make. Before week 2 started, we were also been told to create a mood board for our next class which is on the second week,

Week 5: Holiday
Week 6: VoiceOver.
This week we decided to record the voiceover for every scene in our video. We found out that recording voiceover is really hard because of the unwanted background sound and we must re-record the whole thing if another unwanted background sound appears.

Week 7:Searching and downloading sound effects for the background sound.
This week we were searching for multiple sound effects for the background sound in our final project video and edit the sound effects into the actual video, plus edit the voiceover to the video.
Week 8:Assembling everything together.
For this week we were focusing on putting everything together into a one-piece.
This week we were searching for multiple sound effects for the background sound in our final project video and edit the sound effects into the actual video, plus edit the voiceover to the video.
