F.L.I.P EXERCISES

Week 1

Our first class exercise was to research about what are infographics, why we use infographics and the types of infographics, where to apply the type of infographics and image examples of them. Therefore, we divided parts, completed our parts, finalise them and presented it during the lecture.

REFLECTIONS

Throughout these weekly lectures and F.L.I.P exercises, I gained a clearer understanding of how information design works both conceptually and practically. Starting from Week 1, I learned what infographics are and why they are important in communicating complex information effectively. As the weeks progressed, topics such as good vs. bad infographics, L.A.T.C.H principles, Miller’s Law, and Manuel Lima’s manifesto helped me understand that strong design is not only about visuals, but also about how information is structured, simplified, and presented to the audience.

As the group leader, I learned how to manage teamwork and ensure that each member contributed effectively during the weekly exercises. Since our group consisted of members from different specialisations, it was initially challenging to coordinate ideas and workflows. However, by dividing tasks clearly and communicating regularly, we were able to complete our research, slides, and presentations on time. I am grateful to all my group members for their cooperation, effort, and commitment throughout the process, as it made our collaboration smoother and more productive.

Overall, this experience helped me improve both my design thinking and leadership skills. I became more aware of how to organise information using principles like hierarchy, grouping, and clarity, while also learning how to guide a team towards a common goal. If I could improve, I would enhance our presentation flow and refine the visual consistency across slides. This journey has strengthened my ability to balance creativity, structure, and teamwork in information design.
