GCD60504 Information Design

Instructions:

– Quantify raw data and visualize information as a photograph
- Visual representation of numerical data that allows for easy interpretation and analysis. Gather a set of objects and separate it into category such as color, shape, pattern, and other quantifiable factor.

Example:
1. Box of Lego
2. Jar of button
3. Jar of marble ball
4. Set of colourful rubber strap & more.

In this exercise you're required to quantify our chosen objects and arrange them into a presentable layout or chart. 
The information must be presented as is, and you need to arrange the objects with relevant indicators written out with pens to help you to visualize the quantity and data. The examples of objects that can be use are buttons, coins, lego pieces, M&Ms, and more.

    For the quantifiable data, I used my set of stickers I had from my bag.

    I started sorting them by similarity of  themes (human, animal, & misc.), shapes, colours and saturation.

fig 1.1 Sort #1 (Themes)

fig 1.2 Sort #2 (Colours)

fig 1.3 Sort #3 (Shapes)

fig 1.4 Sort #4 (Saturation)

    I then started to experiment the placements of these stickers to make a presentable layout. I opted for a layout more than a chart because there were too many similarities between each sticker.

fig 2.2 Layout #2

    I chose the first layout for my placements

    I then consoled with Mr Fauzi about what to write for my indicators and he told me I could write a storyline based off of the layout. I decided on a storyline that involved the 3 of them hanging out for the day and title it "Do Ya Wanna Hangout". I decided a colour for each of them and went for Blonde (Black), Black Hair Guy (Purple), Black Hair Girl (Yellow)

    Here is my final layout:

2. You are required to use the digital photo editing/illustration software available to assemble the information into a LATCH infographic poster. 
3. You are allowed to reuse back the images but you have to create the rest of visuals to complete the poster.

REQUIREMENTS:
1. Size resolution: A4
2. Progress and submission link on E-Portfolio.

    The topic I chose for this exercise is based of a souls-like game called Lies of P, where you go through treacherous terrain, hard enemies and even harder bosses to get through the game.

    In this game, there are 3 factions that make up the enemies you find throughout the game which are Puppets (Both Non-Sentient, Soon to be Sentient and Sentient), Humans (Alchemists, Citizens) and Carcasses. This includes bosses as well. They are all scattered in a map that's interconnected somehow to the Hotel Krat.

    Lies of P also has a mix and match system when it comes to the weapons that are used scaling from Motivity (Strength), Technique (Dexterity) and Advance (Boosts Special Attack) with grades such as S,A,B,C  and D. This also applies to throwables like Saw Blades, Thermal Cannisters and Shutter Bombs etc.

    With all this in mind I ultimately decided on mapping out the territory of Krat, including the bosses and their weaknesses.

Location: Krat

Time: Story Chapter

Category: Human/Carcass/Puppet

Hierarchy: Bosses & Their Weaknesses

    Most of my information will be coming from the Lies of P Wiki, since it has the database of the whole entire complete with strategies and guides to help defeat each boss.

    For the main aesthetic of the infographic, I wanted to go for the timeline where Lies of P was inspired by which is French Belle Époque Era.
