Task 1 - Personification / Big Idea

Instructions (MIB)


Process

While deciding on a franchise that I wanted to base my character around, I thought of popular games such as Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail. However, I did not end up choosing those games as the character designs are known to be complicated. Then I thought of Danganronpa, specifically the first game, where the character designs are much simpler and yet unique, with different fashion styles that are popular in Japan. 


Before attending this module, I had always been interested in Ouji fashion, which is a Japanese aesthetic inspired by aristocratic Victorian clothing worn by men. I liked how boyish and fancy it looked so I decided to incorporate that fashion into my character.

 

I started sketching different outfit variations based on this fashion style. I wanted my character to be a rich girl who prefers the Ouji style rather than its feminine counterpart as she feels that it suits her more. I wanted her to give off a princely vibe as well.



I decided on the third option as it felt more princely. I imagined what the full turnaround for the outfit would look like as well. It was a good opportunity to see if the silhouette would look like it could belong in Danganronpa.

Week 1 - 6 SUNG J XIN/ 0370139/ Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media GCD60904 Interactive Design Project 1 Instructions Submission Presentation Design Evaluation From the homepag e, it can be determined that the website’s representative colours are red, black and white. These colours contrast with each other nicely and makes the important information stand out clearly. The colours could be applied differently to make the website look more visually pleasing to the eye. The fonts used in this website are Arial and Helvetica. These fonts make the contents of the pages look easy to read without looking too cluttered. However, In some pages, the font used is Cormorant Garamond, which looks very different from Arial and Helvetica , so there is a dip in consistentency in its font choices. The same can be said about the branding or logo, which has 3 different fonts that don’t match with each other at all. User Experience (UX) When a user wants to go to any of the tabs such as ...

  Week 1 - 14 SUNG J XIN/ 0370139/ Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media RES 60603 Design Research Methodology Final Report Instructions Final Report Video Presentation Presentation Slides Feedback Reflection Experience Task 1 At the beginning of the module, we are required to search for a topic that interests us, with various sources that are related to it, whether it is directly related or mentioned somewhere else. A topic came to mind about minimal illustrations because I had been looking at some minimal designs prior to the start of the semester, so I decided to base my topic around it. It was a bit difficult to think of the research questions and research objectives that aren’t too basic and easy to answer. I came up with some and received feedback from Miss Jinchi to improve the research questions and research objectives to make them more interesting. I wrote down the problem statement using paraphrased sentences from existing sources and shortened it more to make it mo...

There were too many so I picked out a usable amount that still has some variety in colors.  Fig. 1, unsorted cotton balls Then I arranged them by color in a swirly pattern and counted how many of each colored cotton ball there is.
