In-Lecture Exercise F

 


For this week’s in-lecture exercise, we are required to pick five hues from an image and write a short write-up. I decided to pick a photo of a coffee from a cafe I visited.

Overall, the image has very earthy, neutral hues and mainly consists of shades of brown, with some black and light grey shades. Since the shades I picked out are all very earthy and neutral, it gives off a calm feeling. The shades of brown convey a mood of being down-to-earth, warm, and stable. The shade of light grey conveys a professional and mature mood. The shade of black gives off a sophisticated and elegant mood. All the shades are working well in promoting this coffee as a relaxing, calming, and classy drink for a short getaway in a nice cafe.

Research & Ideation For this assignment, we were tasked to create an infographic to create a visual representation of the data and information that we are working with. As I have recently read up about FinTech, I decided to create an infographic related to digital payments. Hence, I went to research more about digital payments in Singapore and to find statistics related to it. After some research, I will be using a total of six sources for my infographic. These are the data and statistics: The penetration rate of mobile wallets in Singapore reached 30.4% I will be representing this data as “3 out of 10 people” instead of listing out as a percentage. 3.34 million users of digital payment in Singapore The total transaction value in the digital commerce sector in Singapore reached 13.69 billion SGD For Digital Payment methods, a total of 56% of users choose Card, 20% choose Digital Wallet, 12% use Bank Transfer and 12% use other forms of payment methods The top four digital wa...

For this week’s exercise, we were tasked to comment on this typographic representation. After analyzing the typographic representation, I have noticed three main issues - choice of typeface, alignment, and readability. 1. Choice of typeface The choice of typefaces used is too decorative which made it quite unclear and illegible. Not only that, the choice of typefaces used for the header and body are also too similar which does not establish a clear hierarchy between the header and the body. This makes it difficult to read and does not capture the attention of the readers.  I would improve this by choosing a font like Sans-serif which is easier to read compared to the typeface used in the image. Sans-serif also helps the readers’ eyes to travel across the sentence lines which makes the words more legible. I would also choose 2 contrasting typefaces for the header and paragraph body. The contrast in the typefaces would help to establish a clear hierarchy between the header and body. ...

  According to the lecture slides, the signifier is the physical form of the sign whereas the signified is the idea or concept that it represents.  In this advertisement, the signifier is the red tomato slices stacked up in the shape of a Heinz bottle, with the Heinz Ketchup packaging stickers on the tomato slices. The tomatoes are very red and nicely sliced, which suggests that they are very fresh and delicious. It signifies that Heinz could be trying to say that they are one of the only manufacturers who make ketchup out of natural, fresh tomatoes, as compared to other manufacturers who may be using preservatives, tomatoes that are not so fresh, or not using natural flavors of tomatoes. Hence, Heinz has the best ketchup manufactured using the freshest tomatoes. It can also suggest that Heinz Ketchup is healthier than other brands as they make use of actual tomatoes to make the ketchup, rather than artificial tomato flavors. The sentence in the poster “No one grows Ketchup li...
