Week 3

Self-learning Week

We spent this week completing Mr. Kannan’s task, which was to redesign a poorly designed infographic as a group.

We chose the infographic shown in Figure 3.4 as our “bad” example because it lacked a clear title, used an unfamiliar chart type (instead of common charts like pie or bar charts that are easier for audiences to understand), and had text with very tight line spacing. The infographic did not help viewers understand the information at a glance.

To improve it, we redesigned the infographic by:

- Adding a large, clear title that is easy to spot
- Using a consistent colour palette
- Including illustrations that relate to the data, helping viewers quickly recognise the type of information being presented

Figure 3.2 Final Redesigned Infographic

We looked for reference infographics (Figure 3.6) to see what worked well and study their design choices, such as how they used illustrations to support the data, kept a consistent colour palette, placed a clear title in the centre, and used short simple labels to make the information easy to read.

Exercise 2: L.A.T.C.H. (10%)

For this exercise, we were required to organise a group of information into a visual poster using the L.A.T.C.H. principles (Location, Alphabet, Time, Category, and Hierarchy).

Many beginner players do not fully understand the damage mechanisms in PUBG Mobile, and there are very few infographics online that clearly explain weapon damage together with armour protection. As a PUBG Mobile (Figure 4.1) player myself, I was also curious about the weapon damage statistics of some commonly used guns and which weapons deal the highest damage. Because of this, I decided to create an infographic that briefly explains the damage mechanism and compares how much damage certain guns deal against different levels of armour.

The infographic aims to help beginners understand why some weapons defeat enemies faster than others and how armour affects the damage received. Instead of using the titles suggested by Mr. Kannan, I chose to develop my own topic focusing on weapon damage statistics in PUBG Mobile (Figure 4.2 and 4.3) as I found this information more useful and interesting to explore.

Introduction to PUBG Mobile

PUBG Mobile is an online multiplayer survival shooting game where up to 100 players enter a battle royale match. In this mode, players fight against each other and the final surviving player or team wins the game.

At the beginning of the match, players start with no equipment. They must explore buildings, towns, and other locations across the map to find weapons, armour, vehicles, and other useful resources.

These items are randomly placed around the map at the start of every match. There are some zones on the map that contain better equipments, including weapons that deal higher damage. Players can also loot eliminated enemies to obtain their weapons and gear.

Because of this, understanding PUBG’s damage mechanisms (Figure 4.4) and weapon damage is important. It helps players make better decisions when choosing which weapons to pick up during a match and allows them to deal higher damage more effectively in combat.
