PROPOSAL

 Week 1: Research Topic
For the first week, we were told to choose our specialization, as our research will be based on it. I wasn't really sure of what I was going to choose but eventually narrowed it down between graphic design and new media. After putting some thought into it, I decided to choose new media as my specialization.

Week 2: Research Problem
After spending a lot of time researching about new media, I decided that visual reality was an interesting topic to focus on. However, I struggled to find a problem that I could do the research on, some were too complicated to do with our given time.


After receiving feedback, I was told that my research problem is not specific enough.

Week 3: Problem Statement, Research Objectives, and Research Question
I eventually decided to change my topic to website design. It is something I am interested in learning more about and I feel like it will be beneficial for my further studies. I started reworking on the problem statement, Research Objective, and Research Question.

Week 4: Research Proposal

 This is the link to my second draft:

 Draft 2

 After receiving feedback, I was told to change my research objectives and should focus more on the user experience.

 This is the final result of my proposal:

Professional Developement Week

REFLECTIVE REPORT As this semester is my final semester, it was compulsory for me to attend  6 workshops or webinars during Professional Development Week. All the webinars I attended were very insightful and meaningful, and I learned a lot from them. Here are some of my key takeaways. I joined 3 different webinars on the first day, the first workshop I attended was the " Financial Literacy for Fresh Graduates " workshop by Maybank. This webinar taught me so much, including the budgeting rule, which states that individuals should split their money 50 percent on needs, 30 percent on wants, and 20 percent on financial goals. Furthermore, adhering to a budget plan is critical for tracking spending prior to generating the budget. Maybank also assisted me in gaining a better understanding of some of the elements. The first is Investment Preparation, which entails self-assessment and the creation of emergency reserves while understanding risk tolerance. The second section is Steps ...

Week 1 - Week 14 Phoebe Ansel 0340165 Application Design II Final Project  INSTRUCTIONS     Final Project For our project, we had a collaboration with the business school and IT school. We were tasked to create a mobile app for the business school. They wanted to create a virtual fitting room app that would allow users to see how the clothes would fit them virtually so that wouldn't have to try them on. We were first divided into 2 groups to work on the user flow, user journey, and wireframe.  We did our work on miro: We then had a meeting with the business school students and made changes after receiving feedback from them. After doing the user flow and user journey, we started working on our wireframe. The idea was for both teams to create wireframes and then choose and combine them together to create a better version of it. my group's wireframe We had a meeting again with the business students and also showed Mr Razif our work, he then chose which elements ...
