Final DIS and visual design
INSTRUCTION
Final DIS and visual design
Week 7
To start with the visual booklet design, I start to search different examples from pinterest that can fit my research topic. I successfully found examples that can fit my topic which is: Game character design base on Chinese monsters. After searching for the booklet design, I start to think about the fonts. Ms Hayati gave me the link to download fonts that suitable for my topic.
Week 8
Independent learning week, no classes.
Week 9
This week, I try to update the table of content page of the e-book. I rewatched the week 7 recorded items and try to make the cover page in illustrator.
This week I showed Ms hayati my moodboard and the cover page I did in Illustrator
Week 11
This week I showed Ms Hayati my acknowledgement part from the e-book, Ms Hayati said my e-book page sequence is wrong. I also need to change the layout of the cover page. I should have several pages before acknowledgement page. The Taylor's University logo page, name of the book, the copyright page and Taylor's University press page. I also need to change my fonts to make it more Chinese style. I followed what Ms Hayati said and this is my work below:
Week 12
This week I almost finished all pages for the e-book. Because later on after week 12, there will be no more group conversations, I just showed what I did so far to Ms Hayati. Ms Hayati said my cover page has too many elements and looks messy. She let me to make it cleaner. Also for the other pages. I can add some Chinese elements but not too much. Some pages also can be black and white to make contrast. This is my work below:
This is the e-book format I've done by using fliphtml5
Feedback

Ms Hayati said some parts of my dissertation look too brief. I may describe more on the Chinese mythological monsters to make the people who are not Chinese to understand the Chinese monster culture.

Week 9
No feedback was given. Ms Hayati let us work on our own.

Reflection
I can tell, Design Research Dissertation is the hardest class during this semester, I was so stressed by doing so much paper work and English is not my mother tongue. I faced many challenges. However, Ms Hayati is a great teacher who taught us everything we have to do during this semester. She gave us tutorials about this class and how to be great at writing literature review, turn review into articles and so on. I've learnt a lot from this class.
