LECTURES

WEEK 1 / 03.04.2022

Propose an Innovative Project

as a group

MIB

Mr Mike began the class by introducing MIB briefly (what will we do, what's the outcome, what are we gonna learn, etc). We will be doing a project with other majors, other schools, or another company. In every class, Mr Mike will explain in detail about design thinking. We were given a lot of topics and divided into groups.

My group:

- Britney

- Jomin

- Cheryl

- Michelle

- Cecilia

Design Thinking

Mr Mike emphasizes design thinking which would be very important in this project. Design thinking is a human-centred solution. The steps for design thinking are:

- Understand

- Define

- Diverge

- Decide

- Prototype

- Validate

Then we practising on these questions:

- Who is the target audience?

- What are the target audience's needs?

- What is the solution?

Mr Mike wanted us to practice how to make an efficient short sentence that can explain everything (no need to have a lot of words to describe it).

Project Briefing

Our group choose UWB as our topic project. We will collaborate with international students. We will have a meeting this Friday (online based)

The platforms that we will use:

- Miro: only among the group

- Google document: will submit to Mr Mike later on

- E-portfolio

WEEK 2 / 11.04.2022

Meeting

with UWB

This week, we learn how to make user persona and continue doing the research before we have a meeting with the UWB side. After I did research on the elderly in Malaysia specifically. Then I did more on Japan as well.

Then Mr Mike said that we will have our first meeting with UWB this Friday at 4pm.

On Friday / 14.04.2023

We have our very first meeting with the University of West Bohemia (Czech Republic). We start with a short introduction our both universities.

Fig. / More research, Week 2 (14.04.2023)

They explained that the keywords of this project are:

- Fear

- Alone

- Losing consciousness

- Need help

- Stumble over something

- Lost my glasses

Fig. / More research, Week 2 (14.04.2023)

There are 16 students that will collaborate with us. They will present their idea one by one, and each group needs to choose one of the ideas to create the branding. Here are their presentations.

That's all the presentations. We need to:

- Choose 1 design's student (that you think is unique)

- Our groups need to divide into 3 groups.

WEEK 3 / 17.04.2023

Empathy

My group want to attend the Monday class, which I can't because I already have 2 classes on Monday. They said that it's okay if I can't join, and they will brief me on how's the work. This week, we need to:

- Create 3-4 personas

- Rationalise the differences between the persona (why do you need this person)

- Find who to send the interview to

- Prepare questions for interviews

Fig. / Target, Week 2 (14.04.2023)

Work:

- Michelle and Hansel will do the personas

Fig. / Users Persona, Week 2 (14.04.2023)

- Christie does questions for the UWB

Fig. / Draft Questions, Week 2 (14.04.2023)

- Cecilia does questions for the survey

- Devina does questions for the interview

There will be no class on Friday and Monday because it's a public holiday.

PROGRESS

WEEK 1 / 03.04.2022

This week, we do research about the Elderly who live alone and the current technology that helps them on Miro that Mr Mike has provided.

Outline:

1. Users

a. How's majority Elderly live in Malaysia?(tend to live alone or with their big family)

b. Why does the Elderly live alone?

c. What is the problem if the Elderly live alone?

2. Technology

a. Is there any current technology for helping the Elderly? (for contacting their relatives, helping to lift their body up, etc)

3. Business

a. How much and how many reviews/rates?

b. What are the considerations?

4. Design

a. How's the design should be? (effective, efficient, etc)

b. References, theme, title, idea, sketch, colours

But since we're doing the research only, I didn't do the b part.

Fig. / Research on Miro, Week 1 (10.04.2022)

#Brief for W2

- Based on selected personas we need to have each set of questions and why.

- Have and "assume" answer (choose a persona style) by next week. Go to Xtensio to choose a persona style.

- Post it in Miro Board by next week. (Lets get the questions approved because if not we have to repeat the whole thing again and we are going to fall behind in the subject)

- Find a perfect interviewee to interview so it matches our data. plus online survey (depends)

- On Friday sir will send me a zoom link to have a meeting with the Czech republic students (I will send the proper time to y'all once I got it from sir)

WEEK 2 / 11.04.2022

This week, I do more research on the elderly in Japan. Not only the elderly but also disabled people.

Fig. / More research, Week 2 (11.04.2023)

Then there is nothing else that I can do now before having my very first meeting with the UWB. After meeting with them, we have to choose 1 design student and separate our group. My group become:

- Cecilia (Graphic Design)

- Christie (Graphic Design)

- Hansel (UI/UX)

- Michelle (UI/UX)

We probably gonna choose between these designs.

Fig. / Designs, Week 2 (11.04.2023)

WEEK 3 / 17.04.2022

Mr Mike wants us to brand the design:

- Website design

- Logo identity

- How to promote (what to do if it were to be launched)

- Magazine ads, manuals, videos, etc.

Cecilia gave me a task to make questions for the interview. I did it on Miro.

Fig. / Questions for Interview, Week 2 (11.04.2023)

WEEK 4 / 25.04.2022

First, we made questions for the questionnaire together for the family members that have elderly.

Fig. / Designs, Week 4 (25.04.2023)

Mr leader sent my interview questions to Mr Mike. Then Mr Mike felt the questions is too complicated. Then I did revisions. Here are the final questions for the interview.

Then we have a meeting together. We talked about content planning and the presentation slides that we will show to our partner on Friday.

WEEK 5 / 02.05.2022

This week I'm starting to do the animation part. My planning:

- Concept:

1. Minimalist, simple

2. Yellowish, egg

3. Animation 2D, cartoonist

4. Animation: how to use, how does it work

- References

Fig. / References, Week 5 (02.05.2023)

- Character/ art style

Fig. / Character/ art style, Week 5 (02.05.2023)

Then I present it to our partner UWB. Surprisingly, my groupmates when preparing the idea for the graphic design style, had the character almost the same, so it's really convenient for us to combine the ideas.

My groupmates link the presentation. Here is the recap of our progress

Fig. / Weekly progress, Week 5 (02.05.2023)

After we had a meeting and we presented our progress to our partner, we have our own meeting to discuss what next to do and the main colour pallet.

Fig. / Main Colour, Week 5 (02.05.2023)

Next to do:

- Keep open for the survey

- Do interview

- Have storyboard and sketches

WEEK 6 / 09.05.2023

This week, Mr Mike gave feedback to us about the product. We have a solution for our watch product. I try to edit the file from Votjech using 3D blender.

Fig. / Watch solution, Week 6 (09.05.2023)

Then I try to make the script for the storyboard.

Fig. / Script, Week 6 (09.05.2023)

WEEK 7 / 16.05.2023

This week, I asked a lot of people to fill my questionnaire. I also asked my mother to ask her colleagues since she has a lot of acquintances, and thankfully I had around 50 people to fill the survey. We had gathered 83 people and we closed our survey. I interviewed 2 interviewees, which are my church members. They are a husband and a wife. I record the interview using voice recorder, so that they are more comfortable to talk about their health. I learned that I really need to watch my grammar and how do I talk to elderly carefully, to prevent any misunderstood or unpoliteness, indeed a new experience. Thankfully it all went well. Then I analyse the interviews and show it to our partner, to tell which part of our product is need to be improved.

Since 3D printing of campus is broken, we need to make the prototype by ourself, school didn't pay it for us.

Fig. / Prototype, Week 7 (16.05.2023)

We did analyse the result of the survey.

Fig. / Analyse Survey, Week 7 (16.05.2023)

WEEK 8 / 23.05.2023

This week, I made a transcript for my interviews. It’s a bit hard because the room that I used had a lot of people and they’re very loud. I need to remember and listen carefully of the recording. I learned that next time when I have an interview, I need to look for quiet place to make my analyse easier. Besides, I also did analyse for the questionnaire. Most of them are interested on our product.

Here is my transcript for the interview and the recording.

Then I analyze my 2 interviewees result.

WEEK 9 / 30.05.2023

This week, we realized that we follow our partner UWB too much, as he is our client. Our client is elderly people. Our Art direction was confusing so we need to go back to our track for the art direction. We also need to change the brand name to something more suitable for elderly people. I did more research on what kind of colour that suitable for the elderly.

Colour Therapy

Effects of Ageing on Vision

Fig. / Effects of Ageing, Week 9 (30.05.2023)

Colour Contrast Ratios for Shape Differentiation and Readability

Fig. / Colour Contrast Ratio, Week 9 (30.05.2023)

Colour can create Emotions and Feelings

Fig. / Colour can create emotion, Week 9 (30.05.2023)

Since ageing brings loneliness and fear, we need to choose a colour that provides warmth, security, and harmony. We want to give what impact:

- Warm and happy (Yellow)

- Calming (Blue)

- Neat and simple (white)

Here are some tips when designing for elderly

Fig. / Design for Seniors, Week 9 (30.05.2023)

On the other hand, Mr Mike also wants us to check with IT to ask if is it possible if we want to make this watch into reality for under RM200. So I asked my IT friend about the features of the watch for RM200. She said that there are 2 options, (1) around 200, using Bluetooth like apple watch and Fitbit. (2) RM1000, as it device itself.

Fig. / Asking IT, Week 09 (30.05.2023)

WEEK 10 / 06.06.2023

This week, I make rough sketches and the references for my storyboard.

Fig. / Storyboard, Week 10 (06.06.2023)

Here is my colour for shot 1.

Fig. / Shot 1, Week 10 (06.06.2023)

This week, we finalised our product.

Fig. / Final Product, Week 10 (06.06.2023)

WEEK 11 / 13.06.2023

I need to rethink how the animation flow through the storyboard. My storyboard currently is not good enough and it’s a bit hard to realisation it. I need to act it out as well to know if it’s possible or makes sense or not. So I ask my friend to help me to act it out.

I need to start thinking about what kind of animation I would choose. Mr Mike said there is a trick or cheat for animation, he will tell me once my storyboard is done. I have to finish my storyboard this week. Here is my second storyboard.

Then I plan to make the cool grannies poses as well for UI UX

Fig. / Final Product, Week 11 (13.06.2023)

Here are my references for cool grandpa and grandma poses.

Fig. / Cool Poses, Week 11 (13.06.2023)

WEEK 12 / 20.06.2023

Mr Mike helped me to complete my storyboard even better.

Fig. / Additional Shots, Week 12 (20.06.2023)

I plan to use the character that I made as the mascot (cool pose) for UI UX. Mr Mike give me a lot of tips and tutorials for rig-based 2D animation or limited animation. I never know that there is an amazing animation software called Duik Angela. I will use Duik Angela to succeed in my animation. Here are some references or tutorials that I get from YouTube.

Link to download Duik Angela/ Duik Bassel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0RRBVnn2MA&t=2308s&pp=ygULZHVpayBhbmdlbGE%3D

Then I started to do the animation assets, however, while I doing it I lost my file. I have to redo it again.

WEEK 13 / 27.06.2023

I'm starting to redo it again. It's so sad.

Fig. / Remake, Week 13 (27.06.2023)

I remake some of the colours for the background. I also redo the character to be simpler.

Fig. / Remake, Week 13 (27.06.2023)

I want to complete all the animation assets. I watched the tutorial first of duik angela so that I can know what I need to prepare before animate it. I also want to change the character into more simpler so it won’t too complicated when I use the Duik Angela Software. Duik Angela looks so convenient and it’s free some more

WEEK 14 / 04.07.2023

It’s quite stressful because I can't make the assets on time and need to learn something new. When I try to use Duik Angela, I didn’t know that the file is so heavy, maybe because I’m using laptop, not a computer. In my opinion, Duik Angela is so helpful if my animation long enough (walking, run, jump, etc). However, if for my project now, I better to use normal edit in Adobe After Effects rather than use Duik Angela. It’s so heavy and laggy to render it in time, makes my work even longer. But I will use it in the future because it’s convenient.

I'm trying to understand Duik Angela and also I finishing my other module. It took the whole week.

Fig. / Duik Angela, Week 14 (04.07.2023)

WEEK 15 / 11.07.2023

After receiving feedback from Mr Mike, Mr Mike doesn't satisfied with some of my colouring. It’s only left a week for me to finish my animation. I feel so pessimist, stressed, and afraid can’t finish it before Friday. Thankfully my leader, Cecilia helped me to finish the preparation for animation. So I have more time to focus on my animation. I will do the animation first then I will change the properties when it is done. I put a collaboration AI so that Cecilia could help me.

Fig. / Help, Week 15 (11.07.2023)

I did the grandpa and grandma pose for UI UX, only for the pose, then I ask my groupmate to continue it so I can focus on my animation.

Fig. / Cool poses, Week 15 (11.07.2023)

I did the animation all day and all night so that I can finish the animation before the deadline. There are so many tasks to complete from other modules also. I feel a bit too overwhelmed. I prepared all the preparation first in one file.

Fig. / One File, Week 15 (11.07.2023)

Then I transfer it to video preparation before I export it to After Effects.

Fig. / Before AE, Week 15 (11.07.2023)

Then I import to After Effects one by one and start to animate it.

Fig. / AE, Week 15 (11.07.2023)

Then I combine everything.

Fig. / Combine all the scenes, Week 15 (11.07.2023)

This is my result without sound or music.

Fig. / No Sound, Week 15 (11.07.2023)

I looked for the sound effect from Free Sound.

Fig. / Sound Effects, Week 15 (11.07.2023)

For the music, I looked for the "Golden Hour by JVKE" song cover.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sleMoipHT8k&pp=ygURZ29sZGVuIGhvdXIgY2VsbG8%3D

I edit all the sound effects first on Adobe Audition.

Fig. / AU, Week 15 (11.07.2023)

Then I combine the video and the music in Premier Pro.

Fig. / Premiere Pro, Week 15 (11.07.2023)

This is my result with sound and music.

https://youtu.be/itxzz7g51rM

Thank God I can finish the animation before the deadline. After I finished the animation, I do the sound effect and probably music as well. Then my leader forwards it to my lecturer. Then my lecturer want me to improve more, however, I don't think I can revise it before the deadline, because it's too close already.

Then I fill out my peer evaluation, the Google documents, and the Gantt chart.

FEEDBACK

WEEK 1 / 10.04.2023

Mr Mike

- Keep going for the research

WEEK 3 / 18.04.2023

Mr Mike

- I’ve corrected the grammar & also some words to make it appropriate & proper for elderly persons. Overall, I’m not sure if the questions would be easy enough for elderly persons to answer. They sound too complicated.

WEEK 4 / 25.04.2023

Mr Mike

- Hi, the questions seem fine. But please be aware that u need to adapt the questions to the different elderly persons that u are interviewing. Some may have difficulties in language, some may need a clearer explanation of your question and some may feel uneasy with certain questions. U need to be very observant of their body or facial expressions. Stop or change the way u ask the question if u notice their uneasiness.

UWB

The presentation was well organised and well presented. More to come for your progress

WEEK 5 / 02.05.2022

Partner

I really like your second idea. I also like the animation character, it's related to the second presentation. Can make the character's clothes and the watch yellowish and the other else can be black and white.

UWB

Well done

WEEK 6 / 0.05.2022

Mr Mike

- The yellow thing blocked the view of the clock (the hand of the clock)

- Need discuss for solution with your partner

Partner

- I agree with your solutions.

WEEK 9 / 30.05.2023

WEEK 10 / 06.06.2023

To complete the whole Art Direction with promotional KV

Complete the new strap designs

The UI design needs to be 50% completed

Confirm that the watch will be a standalone device that could communicate or integrate with a smartphone.

WEEK 11 / 13.06.2023

Complete the art direction board

Confirm the strap options

The UI design needs to effectively show the features convincingly

The animation storyboard needs to be completed

WEEK 12 / 20.06.2023

Final UI Design for the microsite

Art direction with the graphic elements from the animation visuals.

Final animation assets

WEEK 15 / 11.07.2023

Hi as a draft it's fine. But then again the camera angles and the animated movements could be improved. And since this is a draft, I would assume that there will be more details in the background and also the colours.

REFLECTION

WEEK 2 / 10.04.2023

This week, we need to do research about elderly and disable people (their background, their illness, and their devices that help them). I have found a lot of interesting devices that I didn’t know about it before. Then we also have our very first meeting with the UWB students. They presented 16 ideas and some of them finished their product until have the prototype already in short time. Some of the designs are unique however almost all the ideas is watch devices. From this, we need to choose one of the design and we will make the branding. I’m excited to collaborate with them.

WEEK 3 / 17.04.2023

This week, we focused on the user empathy. We divided our tasks inside the group. I did the interview questions. It’s a bit confusing because the interviewees are elderly. I’m afraid my questions are too wide or offend the interviewee. Then we also try to finish the questions for questionnaire and other tasks so that next week we can have consultation.

WEEK 4 / 24.04.2023

This week, after receiving Mr Mike feedback (he said too complicated) through Cecil, I did revision on interview questions for the elders. We also have our second meeting with the UWB/ our partner. We were presenting about our researches, user personas, and planning weekly. We also asked some questions however we can’t finished our QnA session. The feedback from the UWB group: our presentation quite organized and well managed. They’re looking forward to our next progress.

WEEK 5 / 02.05.2023

This week, We’re collecting data for the survey. I also starting to do the animation part. I was looking for references for the art style that suitable with the product. I also did the main character sketch for the animation later. Then I present all my progress to our partner. I presented about my planning, moodboard, and character/ art style. After that, we have meeting on our own group. We discussed what next to do and also the main colour that we will use for all the fields. Next to do (for animation): making the story board and rough sketches. Next to do (for collecting data): we will interview the interviewee within this week or next week (week 6). We also gather more survey data.

WEEK 6 / 09.05.2023

This week, we have been preparing all the ideas for branding, storyboard, etc. However, Mr Mike wanted us to improve our watch design. He said that the yellow button is covering the hand of the clock, so it’s not clear enough. We made some sketches to revise and discussing with our partner. We also had a short meeting with our partner and came out with an answer. He revised the design and told us what is next to do. I learned that we, as a designers, need to make or design a product not based what we like, but based our client want. And from this case, might be the functionality is more importance than the aestheticness.

WEEK 7 / 16.05.2023

WEEK 8 / 23.05.2023

WEEK 9 / 30.05.2023

This week, we were realized that we follow our partner UWB too much, as he is our client. Our client is the elderly people. Our Art direction was confusing so we need to go back to our track for the art direction. We also need to change the brand name into something else that more suitable for elderly people. I askes my IT friend about the features of watch for RM200. She said that there are 2 options, (1) around 200, using bluetooth like apple watch and fitbit. (2) RM1000, as it device itself. In addition, I need to create the idea for the animation.

WEEK 10 / 06.06.2023

I did more research about colours and designs for elderly. I found that all colours could be chose for elderly, it depends on what are we want to express, or what impact that we want to give. Since Elderly tend to feel lonely and fear, we want to give impacts of warm, happy, calming, neat, and simple. We chose yellow, blue, and white. I also found that in old age, the retina will receive lesser light. So we need to make a contrast and readability design and be cautious for the red green colour blindness. We also came out with new brand name, Golden Hour. In addition, I need to start thinking the flow for animation.

WEEK 11 / 13.06.2023

I need to rethinking how the animation flow through storyboard. My storyboard currently is not good enough and it’s a bit hard to realisation it. I need to act it out as well to know it’s possible or make sense or not. I need to start thinking what kind of animation that I would choose. Mr Mike said there is a trick or cheat for animation, he will tell me once my storyboard is done. I have to finish my storyboard this week.

WEEK 12 / 20.06.2023

Mr Mike helped me to complete my storyboard even better. I plan to use the character that I made as the mascot (cool pose) for UI UX. Mr Mike give me a lot of tips and tutorials for rig-based 2D animation or limited animation. I never know that there is an amazing animation software called Duik Angela. I will use Duik Angela to succeed my animation. Next week, I need to finish the animation assets (background, properties, download Duik Angela, etc). I hope I can finish the animation before the deadline.

WEEK 13 / 27.06.2023

This week, I want to complete all the animation assets. I watched the tutorial first of duik angela so that I can know what I need to prepare before animate it. I also want to change the character into more simpler so it won’t too complicated when I use the Duik Angela Software. Duik Angela looks so convenient and it’s free some more. However, I lost some of my file for animation assets so I need to remake it again. I couldn’t finish the assets before W14.

WEEK 14 / 04.07.2023

Before the class, finally I can finish making the animation assets and I try to download and install the Duik Angela Software. It’s quite stressful because I can't make the assets on time and need to learn something new. When I try to use Duik Angela, I didn’t know that the file is so heavy, maybe because I’m using laptop, not computer. In my opinion, Duik Angela is so helpful if my animation long enough (walking, run, jump, etc). However, if for my project now, I better to use normal edit in Adobe After Effects rather than use Duik Angela. It’s so heavy and laggy to render it in time, makes my work even longer. But I will use it in the future because it’s convenient.

WEEK 15 / 11.07.2023

It’s only left a week for me to finish my animation. I feel so pessimist, stressed, afraid can’t finish it before Friday. Thankfully my leader, Cecilia helped me to finish the preparation for animation. So I have more time to focus on my animation. I will do the animation first then I will change the properties when it is done. I did the grandpa and grandma pose for UI UX, only for the pose, then I ask my groupmate to continue it so I can focus on my animation. I did the animation all day all night so that I can finish the animation before the deadline. There are so much tasks to complete from other modules also. I feel a bit too overwhelmed. But Thank God I can finish the animation before the deadline. After I finished the animation, I do the sound effect and probably music as well. I’m glad that I can take this module on this semester. I learned a lot about design thinking more than other modules. I’m thankful for Mr Mike for guiding us for our projects. Last, I’m very grateful that I have amazing groupmates as well.
