Exercise 1: Button Info-graphic
7.01.20 - 14.01.20 (Week 1 - Week 2)

For this exercise, we had an individual assignment called 'Quantify & visualize data'. We were given either Lego blocks or buttons to choose from, I chose sea colored buttons. From the buttons, we had to figure out what information it had such as holes, size, and texture. And to arrange it as an info-graphic poster. We had to take the information we gathered and plan out the layout of the buttons before the next class.
