Hi sorry late, I’m finally into the site!

Treemap: Cat still wins.

Hypna Timeline: It was during submissions. Stopped during the holiday.

Full Timeline: Can see that Hypna occurs more often towards the holidays then stop during holidays.

Sleep Duration: Seems inaccurate since I didnt enter the data properly. Maximum Duration: 18 hours 52 mins (Definitely didn happen) Minimum Duration: 0 hours 8 mins (This is not sleeping). Average Duration: 5 hours 48 minutes.

I seem to spend a lot of time with my cats. In reality no.

Assignment 1: Information Design on everyday items

wipe

Very clear.

dryer

Its okay but weird. And maybe add wind blowing from the quarter circle.

dots

I’m not sure what is this for. It’s on the path before the road. Increase friction on shoes or skateboards/bikes etc? Or is it the sign for the blind to stop before crossing? It’s similar to the silver ones on the train platform to direct the blind.

sign

It’s so big and clear.

map

The map on this directory use perspective view and emphasise more on the location of transports. They have all the big signs to direct people to transports. I usually look for other things on the map eg money changer, restaurants.

call

“Call handicaps”

t1

t3

Two different signs, different Terminals, same airport. First one is weirder.

sky

My first trip on the skytrain: Before this I never see the skytrain before. The sign looks like a cable car that is on a rail or not hanging, so maybe its like a ride for small groups of people. If I cant read any of the languages I might not think of it as a train.

And baggage on trolley going downslope?

Real Life Merit Badges 2

The badges here contained some info design though some are not good are clear to me.

Assignment 1: Information Design on everyday items

Cleanliness

“PTU”: Sound of spitting?

Two body sneezing?

When the mucus and spit combines to become a Monster Mucuspit, it’s a bit funny and interesting if people will really think that way. BUT its not convincing enough because monsters (maybe even worst types) can still grow in the bin and spread if they open it.

change diaper

The other changing diaper sign is better; the mum with baby on table silhouette, its more obvious for some people (usually the grandparents) thought that it’s a toilet for babies or young kids. (3 old people I know somehow thought it was).

toilet

(I don’t know why its rotated.)

“ACCESS TO TOILETS”

I think “TOILETS” obvious enough. Without text its already quite universal. Or just the “TOILETS” will be straightforward in English.

logo on signs

I prefer these signs they use in United Square rather than the digital signs like at Bugis Junction. It’s easier to recognise the logos of the shops, it feels more comfortable and recognisable. (cont)

(I can’t find the photo from bugis): The ones at bugis are just LED signs, in red, blue, green and yellow (I think). It feels weird to read the names in different colours which sometimes don’t even suit the shops’ branding. It made me think for awhile whether its the same shop I’m looking for.

gap

I got mixed feelings about this sign. It’s trying to say be careful of the gap between the train and the platform when boarding the train. Maybe its the silhouette looking too normal? No “caution” feeling. However I noticed that the most common problems are small objects like kids’ shoes falling into the gap, then the next train have to be delayed for awhile for the staff to get it back safely..

halon 1301

This is supposed to extinguish fire in case of emergency. I think the problem is not everyone know what is HALON 1301 and how it work since the usual red or blue fire extinguisher which is more recognisable is not available. And during emergency, people might and just break the emergency glass without reading the small caution note at the bottom of the sign beside it.

fire alarm

I’m guessing that this is a visual map linking to all the alarms in the building to know which fire alarm is broken. I think you have to know the building well to know exactly where it is.

dome

At the NYP Dome. I’m not sure which source its reading from and the fans are off. It looks like “Incoming” for voltage is going to stop (yellow light) and there is no current “Outgoing” (red light) or is it referring to the fuses below?

halo

I’m not sure if this is counted. I think this is a class-T. If this is really a class-T, the sketches of the faces of the classmates to form the word ‘HALO’ which might represent something to them. The faces were also labelled for identification The 2 faces at the bottom might represent class monitors.

Naazira, lihui and I went to the Singapore City Gallery on Friday. There were alot of info graphics in the exhibit.The information were well designed. There wasn’t just graphics, there were also videos and interactive games visualisations as well….

Exactly what she said. And we enjoyed most the game.
