INSTRUCTIONS Project 2: Motion Graphics Animated Instructable Poster (Joint with Project 1 ) We are to transform the visuals created in the previous project into an animated version of the poster. Content Planning Since my poster is sort of simplified, I planned to include all the information that wasn't displayed on my poster in the video.  Fig 1.0 Video Content Planning, Week 6 (11/2/2022) Storyboard Applying what I learned for Final Project, I created the layouts of the scenes to plan out my animation flow of the video.

6 Jan 2022 - 14 Feb 2022 (Week 1 - Week 7) Zetie Binti Bahaman / 0351297 / BDCM Information Design Motion Graphics - Practical LECTURES & INSTRUCTIONS Week 1 Mr. Martin gave us a brief introduction to motion graphics. This is because we will be using it in a few of our assignments, but mainly the Final Project. I am already familiar with the term so this felt like a refresher course to me.  Fig 1.0 Lecture Notes, Week 1 I was interested in the storyboarding process. I think this step is key in the pre-production stage to before we delve into creating the scenes. Fig 1.1 Lecture Notes, Week 1 Fig 1.2 Lecture Notes, Week 1 According to his reference , there were 6 steps to motion graphic storyboarding. 1. Creative Brief 2. Moodboard 3. Preliminary Shot List 4.

Fig 1.3 Canva Homepage I then looked up various infographics that are badly designed and settled on this infographic. Fig 1.4 Sample of poorly constructed infographic  This infographic has bad contrast of colors. Some of the fonts can't even be read due to poor color choices.

4 Jan 2022 - 13 Jan 2022 (Week 1 - Week 2) Zetie Binti Bahaman / 0351297 / BDCM Information Design Exercises 1 & 2 LECTURES The first day of classes included module briefing and assignment grouping. This module requires both individual and group work submissions. Not only that but there are also class exercises that are graded on top of our assignments. Link to FLIP Classroom tasks/lectures INSTRUCTIONS Exercise 1: Quantify & Visualize Data Since I joined the online class, we are to find things around our house that are quantifiable and arranged in a presentable chart/layout. At first, I found some nuts, bolts, and coins but they were insufficient. Ms. Anis suggested I use coins entirely since I had a good spread of them. Fig 1.0 The chosen items (coins) This exercise made the self-diagnosed OCD in me crazy. I was making a mess trying to find things around my room but obviously, I have thrown things out. All I am left with are this bunch of coins from my piggy bank. Fig...
