Exercise 1: Quantify Data

Fig 1.1 Pen & Pencils

Fig 1.2 Chosen Pen & Pencils colours

I Placed each colours of the pen & pencils together since this was the most number of the same colours.

Fig 1.3 Assorting Pen & Pencils

I created a bar chart with the stationaries by placing the tallest first and decreasingly with the shortest for each coloured pen & pencils.

Exercise 2: L.A.T.C.H

Organize a group of information into a visual poster that combined and utilizes the LATCH principles (min.4)

Requirements: 

Size resolution: 1240 × 1750 pixels or 2048 × 2048 pixels

Use a digital photo editing / illustration software available to assemble the Pokémon's into a LATCH infographic poster.

You can re-use back the images of the monsters, but do create the rest of your own visuals to complete the poster.

Sketches

Fig 2.2 Pokémon Template

Fig 2.3 Ai outcome

I created the island in Adobe Illustrator by using the sketch as base and filled in the boxes with the Pokémon's as well as their serial code and evolution state. I also used the Pokémon type icon to indicate each Pokémon type that i got from GitHub which i will link later.

Reflections

This was a fun exercise as i learnt how to compile and create a statistic from items that are already within my area, it is new and a fun exercise for quantifying data. For L.A.T.C.H it was interesting as i have to create and compile Pokémon's using the L.A.T.C.H methods and i also learnt each categories as well as states of each Pokémon's which I've never known before.
