Exercise 1: Quantify & Visualise Data
We had to arrange items of similar nature and present them as visual data.
On my first attempt, I used lego plates as my desired materials and sorted them out into their colour groups and their area by their studs.

However, it seemed pretty messy. So for my second attempt, I decided to use lego bricks of mostly the same colour to sort them out into the amount of studs they consist and the variety of bricks each amount of stud can vary.

On a side attempt, I challenged myself to use something else other than legos, so I chose hair accessories and sort them into the type of accessories, and the amount of each I had.

Exercise 2: L.A.T.C.H (Location / Alphabet / Time / Category / Hierarchy)
For this exercise, we had to organise a group of information into a visual poster that combines and utilises a minimum of 4 principles from L.A.T.C.H.
We had to extract information from Pokedex and compile it into a visual poster. Other than the picture of the monsters, we are required to create the rest of the illustrations ourselves.
Requirements: 1240 x 1750 pixels OR 2048 x 2048 pixels
First, I had to draw the map of the visual poster and I chose to reference the Paldea Region from Pokemon Scarlet/Violet's map.

The principles from L.A.T.C.H that I have incorporated into the final visual poster are: Location (Pokemon's location), Alphabet (Pokemon type in alphabetical order), Category (Pokemon type), and Hierarchy (Pokemon evolution).
