design research GDD2312

Yeah! Here is my design research journal for semester 5. There are seven themes that we should to pick one topic and from that chosen theme, we need to research and generate a hypothesis. 

1. Design for need 
    Designing for the different needs (e.g: packaging)
2. Conventions of social representations
    Physical and social representation (e.g: analysis on Malaysia context)
3. Semiotics
    Symbol reading
4. Functionalism in typography design
    The role typography plays in the visual communication industry
5. Culture, space, and place
    Analysis of ethnic groups in different environment (e.g: Chinese in Malaysia)
6. New media and its impact in design
    How has the emergence of new media and technologies shaped design and changed designer's     role?
7. Media, truth, and perception : propaganda and persuasion in the media
    Propaganda and information are frequently merged together. 

Well, although this is not the first time I write a research journal, but it still hard to write 2000 words in your own words for this assignment. >.<  But, thanks to Ms. Teresa and her assistant to help us every week in tutorial. Hopefully, I can get good mark for design research in this semester. So, enjoy to have a look my design research journal! n_n
