‭Name:‬‭Nurul Hanis binti Mohamad Zamri‬
‭Matric Number:‬‭S2116309‬
‭Course Code and Name:‬‭GFW0018 Security and Ethics in Cyberspace‬
‭Topic:‬‭Ethical vs Unethical Hacking‬

‭Brief written explanation of the design choices‬


‭The‬‭2-page‬‭poster‬‭highlights‬‭several‬‭important‬‭topics‬‭related‬‭to‬‭ethical‬‭and‬‭unethical‬‭hacking.‬
‭In‬ ‭the‬ ‭poster,‬ ‭there‬ ‭are‬ ‭mind‬ ‭maps,‬ ‭tabulations,‬ ‭and‬ ‭a‬ ‭variety‬ ‭of‬ ‭colours‬ ‭used‬ ‭to‬ ‭provide‬ ‭a‬
‭better‬‭understanding‬‭of‬‭the‬‭chosen‬‭topics.‬‭To‬‭start,‬‭(1)‬‭mind‬‭maps‬‭are‬‭used‬‭in‬‭the‬‭poster.‬‭For‬
‭instance,‬‭a‬‭tree‬‭map‬‭is‬‭used‬‭to‬‭describe‬‭the‬‭types‬‭of‬‭hackers‬‭that‬‭exist‬‭on‬‭Page‬‭1,‬‭and‬‭images‬
‭of‬ ‭hats‬ ‭in‬ ‭various‬ ‭colours‬ ‭depicting‬ ‭each‬ ‭type‬ ‭of‬ ‭hacker‬ ‭are‬ ‭used‬ ‭to‬ ‭initiate‬ ‭easy‬
‭understanding.‬ ‭A‬ ‭flow‬ ‭map‬ ‭is‬ ‭also‬ ‭used‬ ‭to‬ ‭visualise‬ ‭the‬ ‭5-phase‬ ‭hacking‬ ‭methodology‬ ‭on‬
‭Page 2 of the poster to have a clearer picture of how it works.‬

‭Furthermore,‬‭(2)‬‭tabulations‬‭are‬‭also‬‭used‬‭to‬‭make‬‭comparisons‬‭on‬‭several‬‭matters,‬‭such‬‭as‬
‭comparing‬‭black‬‭hat‬‭and‬‭white‬‭hat‬‭hackers‬‭as‬‭shown‬‭on‬‭Page‬‭2.‬‭Lastly,‬‭the‬‭poster‬‭is‬‭prepared‬
‭based‬ ‭on‬ ‭(3)‬ ‭subtle‬ ‭colour‬ ‭palette‬‭,‬ ‭featuring‬ ‭different‬ ‭shades‬ ‭of‬ ‭orange,‬ ‭blue,‬ ‭and‬ ‭grey‬ ‭to‬
‭have‬ ‭a‬ ‭subtle‬ ‭and‬ ‭clean‬ ‭presentation‬‭of‬‭the‬‭topic.‬‭To‬‭conclude,‬‭the‬‭design‬‭choices‬‭made‬‭are‬
‭based‬ ‭on‬ ‭the‬ ‭importance‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭topic‬ ‭highlighted‬ ‭in‬ ‭the‬ ‭poster‬ ‭that‬ ‭can‬ ‭encourage‬ ‭easy‬
‭understanding,‬‭and‬‭also‬‭based‬‭on‬‭the‬‭idea‬‭of‬‭having‬‭a‬‭poster‬‭design‬‭that‬‭can‬‭cater‬‭to‬‭various‬
‭groups of people.‬
