Today's session consisted of being introduced to the brief, having some small discussions on what we think 'Information Design' is and consists of, and then continued to have some small discussions in groups of 4 in order to try and come up with certain symbols that we could use to represent or visualize data in a simpler form.
To me, the brief seems really interesting, and I feel like this project will be a massive help in the future, learning to use infographics and other useful ways to represent statistics in a more exciting yet simple way. We were shown examples of the projects towards the end of class, and it was good to see the brief in action, which helped us visualize roughly what we are required to do. I'm quite looking forward to the fact that we need to create three posters which are related and have horizontal working relationships between them, which al combine to represent a larger set of data.
We also had a sneak peek at what we will be doing for assessment two, next term, which was a book with is capable of folding out into a large A2 poster, which I can't wait to do, it looks so cool! By next week, I will continue with my research, look at developing symbols, themes, ideas and other ways to visualize sets of data, and create a few conceptual posters to take to class on Tuesday.
