Design Research Methodology Proposal

LECTURE

Week 1

Dr. Noorhayati and Dr. Jinchi started this module by giving us a brief about this module. The class was conducted on Microsoft Teams as we are not able to meet on the campus during MCO. After the brief, we started our first lecture by learning 2W 1H about research. (WHAT is research, WHY we do research and, HOW to research)



 After the basic, we were given a lecture about the research problem.



After the lecture, we were asked to choose our specialization. There are four options for us which are graphic design, new media, animation and visual effects, and also entertainment design. This will affect our project as our specialization will be the topic.

Hence, we were separated into groups following by our specialization. Those who specialize in graphic design and new media will be under Dr. Jinchi while those who specialize in animation and visual effects and entertainment design will be under Dr. Noorhayati.

Week 2

 This week we learn about how to develop and identify our research question. Below are the slides provided by the lecturer. Other than the lecture slide, there are also some lecture notes provided. 









Week 3
This week we are going deeper into formulating research questions and objectives through two different ways which are inductive approach and deductive approach.  Before that, the lecturer recaps us briefly about last week's lecture. We also learn to identify the type of research in today's class. Below are the slides provided.

PROPOSAL

We have only 1 project for this module but cut into separated parts. First of all, we will need to start brainstorming a research topic (based on our specialization). The reason we must choose the research topic base on our specialization is that it will help us in the future.

My initial proposal:



I received a voice record feedback given by Dr. Hayati as I'm under her supervision. She told me to be careful about my research question as it is more like a work for Mass Communication students. Also, my problem statement is based on my own experience which is not wrong but I will need to avoid using "I". All the "I" should change to animator, researcher, or even designer.

Dr. Hayati also suggests me to read more article because my references are too less. My problem statement is weak as I do not have enough evidence to make sure that it can work. Lastly, I will need to add the research objective.

I decided to rewrite my problem statement and slightly change my research question.

Rewrite Version Proposal:

My proposal in the slide version:



 For research objectives, I need to change the word Investigate to other verbs as Investigate is an in-depth study and time doesn't side me. There is also English issue for my second research objective. For the problem statement part, I didn't inform the reader, such myself, on what I intend to achieve in this research subsequent from the two earlier paragraphs that merely described the slight or briefly on history and development of animation. I will also need to search for greater scholar articles for my references. There is also some careless mistake for the arrangement of the slide. I missed out the research problem slide and it should be placed after the research topic. 

Below is my Final Proposal after lecturer's feedback:

Major Project

  Yeoh Wen Jun ( 0334234 ) Major Project INSTRUCTION Week 1 For the first class of Major Project, we were given a short brief by Mr. Asrizal in the class. It was the first time we can all sit in class together after so long since the pandemic. We went through the MIB and we were told that we can conduct the project in 3 ways. The first is to continue with our dissertation topic, the second is to get a client and the last is to make something with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.  After the instruction, Mr.Asrizal showed us some seniors' work to give us some ideas. Someone designed a font for Pasar Raya, someone illustrated her own Tarot card, and someone designed a series of collateral. We will need to propose our ideas to Mr. Asrizal in the next class and we started to brainstorm our idea until the class ended. Week 2 This week, the class was separated according to the 4 specializations. The animation group started for the first and we propose our ideas to Mr. A...

Sonic Design Final Project

Yeoh Wen Jun ( 0334234 ) Sonic Design Final Project  INSTRUCTION Week 12 In the final project, it is different from what we did before. Before this, we normally use the free stocks sound effect to conduct our exercises. But this time we will need to record our own sound effects. We were given a variety of videos to choose from. Also, an audio storyboard was prepared by Mr.Razif. The reason to have an audio storyboard is that if we are going to record sound in a studio, we need to save time as it is not cheap. We need to get ready for all the materials and know what sound we need to create. Audio storyboard and video provided by Mr. Razif: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4qFCRRLg21uaVVfNTFsMGsyMU0?resourcekey=0-aaijjah6ADp53WbCOfaCsg&usp=sharing Other than sound effects, we were required to create simple background music and some narration if needed. In this case, our classmate Avery Ong was invited to give us a talk about piano.    The tone for different...

Professional Development Week

Yeoh Wen Jun ( 0334234 ) Professional Development Week Introduction As this is our final semester and we will be graduating very soon, we were asked to learn different knowledge from the people working in the industry and make a report. Hence, we were assigned to take part in the Professional Development Week. Professional Development Week is on week 8 of this semester, and there are many types of workshops provided. In this case, we will need to attend at least 6 workshops which is a total of 6 learning hours. Some workshops were compulsory as it was selected by our Program Director but for the rest, we can choose for ourselves. Below are the workshops that I took part in: Tuesday, May 17 For me personally, I enjoyed the “Financial Literacy for Fresh Graduates" workshop by Mr. Fairuz Izman from MAYBANK the most. The way he presented was really interesting and made me feel like I want to listen more from him as he was sharing his own story as an example. From this workshop, I ...
