Exercise 1:Quantifiable Information(10%)

Week 1 (7|01|20)
For this exercise, we were instructed to quantify the buttons given according to their sizes, texture, number of holes and etc.
After that, we were required to use the data collected to create an informational poster for the data collected. the information should be presented in an illustrative visual manner and we were allowed to use any method like hand-drawn, digital illustration, pictures, collages or others as long as it fits in an A4 paper.

Number of holes- 2holes or 4 holes
Size- Big, Medium, Small and Extra Small.
Appearance-Solid, Transparent and Marble.

After that, I took down the Data I needed.

After extracting the data I showed and explained my Button arrangement to Ms. Anis and she commented saying "it's ok but it would be better represented in form of a graph", she then showed a suggestion which i took.
