Task

We were tasked to create an infographic poster with the L.A.T.C.H principle. I first thought of making a Pokémon-themed infographic. So, I searched up different infographic styles to get inspiration and references.

Figure3.2 Example2

I created this little ecosystem with Adobe Photoshop because I feel more confident in using Photoshop for illustrations than in Illustrator.

Figure3.3 Graphics made in Photoshop

I exported the illustration in PNG into Illustrator to add the texts and additional visuals.

Final Result

I almost forgot about the resolution before submitting, therefore I resized the image to its correct size.

Figure4.5 Final Result of Infographic Poster

For this task, we were to make a vector animation with the given visuals. A "wiggle" effect or an animation using the Bone Tool is required.

For this task, we were to make an animation of a line graph by playing with the "Trim Paths" tool.

Reflection

I really should fix my time management as I realized I was always rushing my assignments even though there were multiple weeks given to finish my assignment, which also reduced my work quality. However, I liked the way this assignment touched some knowledge learnt in Typography class, which was refreshing.
