                                                   EXERCISE 1

EXERCISE 1: Quantifiable Information In exercise 1， we have to choose a set of objects and separate them into categories based on color, shape, pattern, and other quantifiable factors.

I categorized them into different colors and patterns. I recorded them into four parts: objects before sorting out， sorted, arranged, and presented.

In Exercise 2, I chose to collect information about space planets for the most analysis.

Use of L.A.T.C.H:

L - (position) Spatial position organization of the ball

A-From near to far, according to the distance of the sun.

T - (time) Sorted by when the planet was formed or discovered

C - (classification) Planet type

H (level), cosmic level

Visual Reference

After collecting the data , i started to look at some reference at pinterest .

In the first exercise, I learned how to arrange information efficiently and mastered ways to group information according to the LATCH principle. I've learned that different categories can help us understand and organize complex information more intuitively, such as by color, by category, or by quantity.

For the second exercise, I chose the planet as the theme and planned to make a poster with rich information. I first collected and organized the relevant data in an Excel file, such as the size, temperature, orbit, composition, etc., of each planet. References were then consulted to ensure the accuracy of the information and to find a suitable visual representation to better present the information in accordance with LATCH principles.
