Exercise 1 - Quantifiable Information
Week 1 (4/1/2022)
My father has a container of coins that he has collected over the course of 2-3 years. I took 3 handful of coins to for this exercise.

I stacked and organized the coins , dividing it into New Coins and Old Coins, the value multiplied by the number of them.

Exercise 2 - : L.A.T.C.H
Week 2 (11/1/2022)
For Exercise 2, I looked through the references Ms. Anis had given to us, and I took Fig 2.0 as inspiration.
Fig 2.0 ; Inspiration (13/1/2022)
I like the way they broke down the Pokémon gym into floors/layers, and organized the Pokémon by hierarchy and level. I also really like the aesthetic of it, with the type being visually shown on the floors itself. The fonts match the aesthetic of the video game, and it looks incredible.
I decided that I wanted to have an infographic of one of the gyms in Pokémon. After looking through a few gyms, I decided to go with the Goldenrod Gym.

When making the infographic, I envisioned that it could potentially be at the entrance of the Goldenrod Gym, a poster that trainers could look at real quick to see what was in store for them when they walked into the gym.
I chose this gym because I had a vision, inspired from Fig 2.0, of breaking the gym into floors/layers, and I could see the layers that form the gym. I broke them down and separated them;

After breaking it into layers, I went into Adobe Illustrator and colored the drawing in;

After coloring, I edited the Pokémon of the gym onto each floor/layer, and put the name of the Pokémon plus their level;

Week 3 (18/11/2022)
I illustrated the background for the infographic this week;
Fig 3.1 ; First attempt at the background (17/1/2022)
The contrast between the pixelated stars, and the pixelated gradient, with the grass that isn't done in the style of pixel art, was a bit unflattering. So I added a mosaic over the grass, along with changing the colors a bit;
I then added a few more things, like the type of Pokémon on each floor, and created the first outcome of the infographic;

After receiving feedback from Ms. Anis, I made changes and created the second and last outcome of Exercise 2;
