Template Prototyping

Fig. 1 - First Prototype

(Fig. 1) This was my first prototype design. I started putting in the exact dimensions of the box into Illustrator with some basic shapes.

Fig. 2 - Second Prototype

(Fig. 2) This was the second prototype, I started considering the flaps on the side to make sure it fits well into the box when folded in. I used the first design while working my way into developing the new net.

Fig. 3 - Third Prototype

(Fig. 3) For my most recent box design, I had a bit of help from my partner in creating a curved flap on the sides of the box. I also found that lines on the area i should fold the flap into would make it a lot easier for me to test the net.

Card Sorting

I just finished my own card sorting and realised there are quite a few information that doesn't necessarily have to be on the package. Also, I might add in a few more details / information that the packaging missed out on.

Week Two Lecture

The class trying to identify which examples are which then

Tim and Klaus walks us through which ones are correct

The small exercise that we had during class was 'card sorting' where we had to identify the information on the packaging of our chosen medicines and sort them according to which category we think they belong in. After sorting those, we then rearrange them based on what we think are most important to the least important detail.

Five Samples

Our week one independent study was to identify five samples of what we think are infographics, data journalism, information design and data visualisation. Here are images I chose and labelled accordingly to what I think they are.
