LECTURES



Week 1

Group Presentation

For our first online lecture, we presented as a group to explain what an infographic is and the different types of infographics. This presentation exercise helped us learn how to organise information and present it in a way that is easy for the audience to understand. Mr. Kannan also emphasised the importance of keeping text concise, as the audience should be listening to the presentation rather than reading from the slides.

TUTORIAL

Week 1

Module Introduction, Grouping & Project Briefings

In the first week of the Information Design module, Mr. Kannan introduced himself and shared his professional experience and educational background. He also explained the learning outcomes of this module and what defines good information design.

According to the briefing, effective information design should be:

  • Simple and clear

  • Visuals are important, but clarity matters more

  • Avoid large blocks of information

  • Make information easier to understand in a creative and fun way

Mr. Kannan then went through the project briefs for the semester and deliverables. This gave a clearer picture of what we will be working on and the skills we are expected to develop.

Lastly, the grouping list was announced. My group members for this semester are:

  • Chang Wing (0367807)

  • Erin Samantha Fenner (0381696)

  • Jahlani A/P Gunasagaran (0368432)

  • Lai Sheng Peng (0386106)

  • Liong Xen Yi (0383125)

  • Marchello Rico Satrio Bawono (0387289)

  • Tai Xian Zun (0372782)

FEEDBACK

Exercise 1: Quantify & Visualize Data (10%)

Week 1 (03/02/2026)
Feedback: Group Online Presentation - I liked the design of the presentation slides; Some of the text could be shortened to make the content more concise; Liked the "Types of Infographics" section, where arrows were used to clearly point out the relevant parts in the images, also like how your group didn't just simply read directly from the slides.
