Flip 1 - Individual
In the first week's lecture, our lecturer mentioned that we'll
have weekly FLIP tasks, both individually and in groups. We'll
take turns presenting each week. For our individual task this
week, we were supposed to use a free online tool to redesign a
poorly designed infographic.
For my poor infographic design, I chose this design that I
found on a website because the infographic inaccurately
uses data visualization. While the topic is about pizzas, it
presents data about different company CEOs using a pie chart,
which doesn't fit the context.

After this, I chose to do a timeline infographic for my
redesign version to guide the information from time to time.
then I decided to design it with Canva from scratch.

My final outcome is kind of similar to my references, except I
use a pizza theme for it. then I use a straight line, starting
from the past up to the present.

Intuitiveness
Canva makes it easy for beginners to create various designs
like infographics, brochures, logos, and more. It offers
templates and straightforward tools for editing text and
elements, making the design process convenient and simple
even for those new to design.
Usefulness Canva offers a bunch of features for graphic
designers to use, while also being user-friendly for those
who are new to graphic design or unfamiliar with
professional design software. It simplifies the editing
process for text and images by providing a variety of
effects. Additionally, it provides a wide selection of
elements and images for various design needs. However, it
may be limiting for users who wish to create specific custom
elements, thereby restricting creativity and design
possibilities.

lowest value (bottom to top).
