REFLECTIONS


Experience

This module has been an extensive experience that pushes the limits of my writing capability. The structure of conducting these assignments such as critical review and primary data is brand new to me which both made it exciting yet daunting when I found out how we should complete it and the work that entails. In complete honesty, I did not expect this module to include so much writing in a design related course which made me worried. The experience of completing an assignment in this module is definitely satisfying as the hours put in are worth it when you finally completed that long research analysis that's been taking you days to finish. This module will definitely be remembered for my future experiences as it taught me the importance of research in correlation to design.

Observations

One aspect I noticed during critical review was the variety and difference in the ways researchers write their research articles. It provided many interesting insights to their work as well as learning how I could present my own information. The primary data analysis was intriguing as I get to see varied perspectives from the participants each with their own unique way of thinking. These small details really helps in contributing to the analysis as even the most nuanced details links the bridge between two points of information.

Findings

I found the primary data aspect of the module to be the most interesting of the bunch. The journey from creating the primary research methods, the process of gathering data, and the work of analyzing raw data into detailed and structured conclusions has taught me a bunch about writing, deductive reasoning, and understanding of the thought process of different people and how that contributes to the analysis.

Gameplay has some accessibility through allowing multiple options for movement by either using WASD or Arrow Keys. The sound effects fits smoothly with the visuals along with the background music fitting for the visual themes of the game, contrasting the enraging nature of the actual gameplay. About the gameplay, the initial level design is cool, slowly introducing more controls to help ease the player into the mode. However, having only 1 HP from terrain elements raised the difficulty of the game. It is as critical as avoiding any mistake from touching terrain elements, which ...

To understand websites better, we are tasked to analyze TWO websites from this link . A brief summary of analyzing 2 websites was written so we can take note and improve our understanding of the design,  layout, content, and functionality, strengths and weaknesses about websites. The websites I chose to analyze were Simply Chocolate and Torgerson Design Partners .  Here is my analysis for each website. Simply Chocolate Landing page looks clean and gives an easy introduction. The big white text is clear and readable but the smaller texts of white can be harder to see as the background is also of light color. The menu texts on the side are placed sideways, making it harder to read quickly or rep...
