Project 1 & 2 / Instrucable Infographic Poster and Video


LECTURES

All lectures are written in Task 1 Exercises 


INSTRUCTIONS


Project 1 | Instructable Infographic Poster

This assignment requires us to create an informative and appealing pasta granny infographic poster. The poster dimensions should be 1240 x 1750 or 2048 x 2048 pixels respectively and an application of Miller's law (the chunking is mandatory). undefined
  • Effectively convey a message.
  • You must have a large amount of information in a clear and understandable paragraph.
  • Empower yourself with data, and learning processes and delve into causal relationships with ongoing events around you.
  • Frequently, check the advancement of stated parameters as well.

I chose the video "Pina's Spaghetti alla Carbonara" by Pasta Grannies, then, I started out by sketching some layouts for the poster.



Fig 1.0 Layout sketches.


I believe option 1 or 3 is most effective because, psychologically speaking, the human mind typically reads from left to right and up and down. Option 2 seems ineffective as people usually prefer to check ingredients first before the method to ensure they have everything needed for cooking. Option 4, on the other hand, appears too disorganized. I hopped onto Canva to sketch out the layout and I decided to go with number 1, after I did the layout I drew the elements on my iPad using ProCreate.

I added a number so that viewers can be sure which step to follow first.

After handing it to Mr. Shamsul, I received the feedback. He mentioned that it was nicely done and that the elements, style, and color palette worked out but I need to have some revisions on the composition. He suggested enlarging the spaghetti visual and bringing the title upwards. I then proceed with the corrections.

I'm quite satisfied with the overall results.


Project 2 | Infographic Video

I proceeded to import all of the elements I made for the video. I first sketch out extra elements like the whisk and a bowl of beaten eggs pouring. I also sketch a background for the video to make it not-so-plain.

I then imported everything to Filmora, I started to layer the elements and animate the movements for the elements I sketched out earlier using keyframes, there were a lot of trials and errors but at the end of the day, I managed to get everything in place. I also added some no-copyright music for the video that matches the vibe of my animation. The overall animation was about 1 minute and 17 seconds.

After I felt like everything was done, I added the sound effects (cracking egg, whisking, etc.) to enhance the video. I feel like the overall color palette, music, and sound effects match the vibe of the video well.



Fig 2.2 Animation trial


After I showed the video to Mr. Shamsul, he suggested I put the step-by-step description at the bottom and not on top since the purpose of the video is to show and let the audience focus more on the visual. He also suggested that I be more careful about the positioning of the description to be either right in the middle or left side. After some corrections and adjustments, I finished the animation and exported it.

Overall this was quite a fun assignment to learn and do.

FEEDBACK

Week 4:

Overall is great, try putting the title a bit more upward since there's more space in the upper area of the poster. Try experiencing the title by highlighting some words, and enlarging the spaghetti result if possible. For the animation, try adding a transition for the spaghetti and decide if the description is supposed to be placed in the middle or left side, try to put the description at the bottom and not on top.
REFLECTIONS

This assignment is quite fun to learn and do especially since I have to focus a lot on the keyframes that even the slightest mistake took quite some time to correct. I enjoy a lot creating the visuals and playing with the color palette to make the overall result match my aesthetic and artsyle.

On top of that, we have to make a literature matrix to create the subheading of our research. We have to check if the article is written by scholars. This methodology section is supposed to explain the research approach, justification, and purpose behind it with appropriate citations. To conclude the review, think about the major trends and the main contributors. How are there gaps in the literature and whether the review should continue and be updated or are you satisfied that any further research would need to take a completely different approach. It is also mandatory to show our progression weekly to our lecturer. Literature Review Matrix At the start o...
