The proposal
Week 01
This part was the initial phase of the assignment. We were required to research on the topics that were tied to our own course specializations. I would be choosing topics that were related to User Interface and User Experience (UI/UX), as it was my specialization.
We were also required to integrate issues or themes encompassing either Design Culture or Design for Future Making or Social Design. In which I have decided to go with the design culture or the Social Design. I have also searched a few options for potential topics.
Good user experience that has been removed:
- Skeuomorphic design
- Toolbars and menus
- Hover effects
- 3D icons
- Customizable interface
- Tangible buttons
- Modal windows
These points somehow did not stick to me. I have to research again on what topic that I would like to choose again. I have came out another idea of searching for UI/UX trends that were ongoing. This would meant that I was able to know more about current trends happening.
UI/UX Trends:
- Microinteractions
- Personalization
- Voice UI
- Dark mode
- Minimalism
- Augmented Reality
- Microanimations
At the end I have chosen the Dark mode as my research topic, it also integrated the Design Culture theme that was required.
Week 02
This week I have continued with my research as well as writing down my research rationale on the topic that I wanted to research and proposed it to the lecturer during consultation. I have also gathered some feedback that I could use mobile applications to research on this topic.
Week 03
This week I have figured out my research questions and objective. I have to continue with my problem statement as well as my research problem. The lecturer also gave me feedback to match my research objectives with research questions and continue with the problem statement. I also have to choose the application that I wanted to use.
Week 04 - Final Proposal
Feedbacks
Week 03
You could match the research objectives with research questions and continue with the problem statement. You could also choose a different type of applications that will be used for the survey.
