week 13-final blog entry

Group A: Chloe Chong - final blog entry

In this whole semester for studio I class, I have learnt a lot about interaction design which at first I don't know what it is. The things that I did write on this overall project I gone through with my group members is to do what I have to as a group member and also participation in class. Things I've done wrong is about not blogging weekly and also didn’t really do readings on myself. But few weeks back I did some research on interaction design on web and I found out that interaction design is ain’t that boring after all. The things that I would do differently if there's a chance is to choose a better project idea because somehow our group member is lost somewhere on the project and now it's all find because we figure it how to do. But I’ll still want to change the project title if there's any chance. base on the things I have learnt during the whole semester, so far I get to know what is interaction and also learning how to co-operate with other group members because I'm a kind of person who like to do things individually but did project had somehow taught me how to co-operate and dare to express my ideas in front of people. And the best part of this class is that I get the opportunities to learn how to make movie even thou it’s a hard time for us first time user creating video. Overall I have learnt a lot in this class.

The thoughts that was running in my mind was sometimes I don't really understand what lecturer said, because maybe they way lecturer speak is like the sentences is too deep nor too hard for us student to get it. I think a lot of my classmates think so. But now it's so far so good because now I get used to it already. I think it would be better to say it not so deep and also more easy understanding to the students.

week 12-participation diary

on week 12 we had our participation diary presentation. As for me during the whole semester for this design studio I, I think what i did well in this was my attendance no matter attending for class or meetings I'm always there and punctual. Well the other things i did well was doing my job in my group project by doing research and giving ideas. The things that I have learn to do better was to improve on my blog journal and also reading cause i didn't do all the reading thou, just read those reading that is interesting and also those which are important for our group project. The rest of the reading i just went through by just looking at the visuals. The things that i could have done better in my participation diary was the blog journal by adding more extra readings into the blog entry to help out on my group project, because the blog entry that I wrote are mostly about things that happen in class and also what we had done on our group project. If i give myself and overall mark i think it will be a distinction.

I found this link when I was going through some design website. And I wanted to share with other readers. It's something that what we had learn in studio I.

something new

i found some design/device on the web are related to interaction design. I think i should share with others. And this is also very helpful to my group project.

NOKIA 888
This site I found is something like what VITA had found a clip about this future phone. And I wanted to blog more about the concept about this phone. Is a new device which is a personal mobile communication device which follow you everywhere you go. It is light, simple and carefree device which can be a fashion which also can change its form according to your needs during the day. This phone interact by receiving/send forms to or from friends. For example when you send a heart shape to the other person, so the receiver's phone turns into a heart shape icon. This device is flexible which you can put into the pocket, roll it into a smaller size or put on the wrist when wanna make a video call. If you would like to make a call, you can turn it to a phone shape. It's a very unique device i should say.

ON OFF MUG
A lot of people thought is just a mug with a big letter OFF but this mug isn't just an ordinary mug like other. Once you add hot beverage into the mug, the mug will change color and it will turn to white in a big letter state ON. It's a very special mug. I found this mug very intersting and funny.

innovative designs and device


I found this website is super cool... The link above is link to innovative designs which is something that is link to interaction design. On the site i found that some device are a great use bcause due to device they created is easy and simple while it also link in design. I found that Sony's apple remote is very useful. It's like a remote control which don't have any bottons just by shaking left to right you can change the channel or volume.

week 11+Reading

This week, our group member did a draft report. On the report me, Candy and Vita did the survey, persona and also scenario draft report while Nelsi did the introduction and also she combine the whole draft report together. On the report we wrote about what we had went trough on our journey and also how it helped us on doing this time management project.

READING
I did a continuous of Steve Krug: Don't make me think (chapter 9-10) reading. Overall this reading really worth it because it gives you ideas on how to be a better designer so that it makes the designer and also the consumer easy. Doing a usability test doesn't mean you need a professional to do it. We as a designer too can do the testing on ourself which can save money and also learning new things by experimenting.
