LECTURES

♡ 31/03/2022 Week 01

During our first class, We were introduced to 2 lectures, Dr Noorhayati and Dr Yip Jin Chi. After that, both lecturers started briefing us through the MIB, as well as explaining certain assignments we have to complete. They also mentioned that the research done in this class can be carried forward to our Design Research Dissertation module next semester.

♡ 07/04/2022 Week 02

For the first half of the lecture, Dr Hayati and Dr Jinchi held a q&a session for students who wanted to ask questions regarding this module. After that, we were separated into groups according to our chosen specialisation. Since I chose graphic design as my specialisation, Dr Jinchi was assigned to my group. She began going through everyone's rationales and provided us with feedback.

♡ 14/04/2022 Week 03

Similar to last week's lecture we had a q&a session first. After that Dr Hayati informed us that we will be having a Library workshop on Week 4. After that, we separated into our groups once again and Dr Jinchi started to check everyone's proposal progress and provided us with feedback too.

♡ 21/04/2022 Week 04

Before the Library workshop, Dr Hayati started briefing us about the time and what we have to do for the library session. Then Dr Jinchi briefed us (the graphic design group) about what we have to prepare for Week 5. At 10am, the library session had started and there were no lessons after that.

FEEDBACKS

Week 02 - 08/04/2022

Lecturer Feedback: Overall research topic and rationale are good to go with just a few adjustments to be made. For my rationale, Ms Jinchi mentioned choosing findings or research papers from more recent years (5 years max). She mentioned adding citations for one of the sentences and also asked me to rephrase the last sentence of my rationale. Other than that, she also asked me to tweak my research topic, to be more specific and find out which part of graphic design I will be researching about.

Week 03 - 14/04/2022

Lecturer Feedback: Ms Jinchi advised me to add typography into my research as colour as a topic itself is too limited to explore. For my problem statement, I was advised to include some visual imagery as examples and also add another paragraph introducing typography since I’m expanding my topic. I also have to look into some other brands that have a good range of colour and typography for me to research as the brands I mentioned, Innisfree and Laneige have a more minimalist approach which might not be suitable for my topic. I must also make sure the product images have to be easily accessible too. Also a good try to use journal articles.
