LECTURE NOTES

Lecture 1 -Introduction to Information Design
Week 1 - 07/01/2020 - 10/01/2020

Week 1
 
First class - The lecturers briefed us about the module and what to expect through out the semester. Mr Shamsul explained roughly regarding the final project as well.

Week 1

Second class - We had our first flip presentation, Manuel Lima's 9 Directive Manifesto.

 The 9 Directives Manifesto consists of:
1. Form Follows Function
2. Interactivity is Key
3. Cite Your Sources
4. The Power of Narrative
5. Do Not Glorify Aesthetics
6. Look For Relevancy
7. Embrace Time
8. Aspire For Knowledge
9. Avoid Gratuitous Visualisation





Week 2
In Tuesday's class, we got to present on the topic of information organisation with Saul Wurman's L.A.T.C.H.. Through the process of researching on this topic, I got to learn about the 5 principles in which information can be organised. This is also known as The Five Hat Racks.

L.A.T.C.H. is a term used to describe the method of organisation through 5 principles.

L - Location
A - Alphabet
T - Time
C - Category
H - Hierarchy

In this topic, I learned and understood that these principles are useful to use when it comes to organizing information.



WEEK 3
In this class, we presented our slides regarding Miller's Law.

From this lecture, I learned that chunking is a useful process of assembling chunks of information into larger units, and that is able to "hack" the limits of our memory, making us remember it easier.



Feedback: Be more confident with your body language, ask for feedback/open for questions at the end.

WEEK 7
It was our last flip topic, we had to use online tools to recreate different types of infographics. I used Visme. Here are our slides:




Feedback: Our group has always been consistent.
