FLIP 01

Group Task (Types of Infographics)

In week 1, we formed a group of 7 members for group projects. Mr Shamsul has given us 20 minutes to do research and create a presentation on different types of infographics.

Individual Task (Online Tools)

Next, we are assigned to pick one free online infographic tool and re-design one poorly constructed infographic poster through our own experimentation with the selected tool.

I started scrolling online and found this poster.

Personally, I think the arrangement of the texts is hard to read and understand the information. And I feel like the texts in the poster are squeezed together to fill up the space, causing lack of visual hierarchy. So, for the online infographic tool, I decided to use Canva to redesign this infographic poster. Comparing the original poster with my poster design, I try to make it simple and easy for the audience to read. And for improvement, I establish a flow and guide the reader view from top to bottom.
