Instructions
Exercise
Quantifiable Charts
For this exercise, we were to collect data from a set of buttons given. After that, we were to choose 5 colors of button from the choice and to make an infographic poster for the data collected.
After choosing my data, I arranged the data collected in my sketch book.

After the data has been organised, I go on making a sketch on how I want to arrange my data on the poster.

L.A.T.C.H.
For this exercise, we were to make an infographic video of four Pokemons based on L.A.T.C.H., which is the location, alphabet, time, category and hierarchy.
The four pokemon I chose to work on is as the following:

As I'm also playing Pokemon during the period of exercise, I decided to focus on the Sinnoh Region, which is the map that I'm playing with that time.

In Class Exercise
AE Refreshment
This exercise is given to us to refresh our skills in After Effects. We have to create a short and simple video to introduce either something about food, music or sports.
For me, I chose to do music and to introduce about Hatsune Miku, a Japanese virtual singer.

I also added music sang by Hatsune Miku as the background music. The song is called "UmiYuri Kaiteitan". The final outcome of the exercise is as below:
Dynamic Numbers
For this exercise, we were to create a infographic video after we learned how to animate shape layers in relate to the numbers. For my group, we were to work on activity trackers. Therefore, I decide to use the data collected by phone for the amount of steps I walked for the past week.
