PROJECT 2 : DATA COLLECTION

WEEK 4 - WEEK 5

Project 2 Brief (from MIB) : 

Data Collection

In second project, we are required to do data collection and prepare research materials for the ideation in project 1. 

At first, we were discussing about interviewing some Wayang Kulit expert or going to some puppet-making working because I saw a workshop posted on my FB. We have also attempted to send emails to people we wanted to interview but due to the pandemic and CNY is coming in very soon, we gave up those ideas and decided to use survey method.

We used google form as our data collection method because we are unable to do it in physical way due to the pandemic. Our group referred to the research questions and research objectives and finally came up with all the questions. Our purpose of this survey is to find out perspective of Malaysia's younger generation (Gen-Z) on Wayang Kulit. From this research, we can improve our ideas and find out better solution for our final project. 

We distributed the works to the members equally: 

Google Form Survey : Britney, Jo Min
Isometric Introduction Poster : Julia (me), Jia Xuan (Emeline) 
Virtual Showroom : Chze Huang, Zhi Xian (sky)

After the google form has been done by Britney and Jomin, we shared it on social media and sent it to our friends so we can collect as many responses as possible. The total responses we got is 40.

From the result of the survey, we know that although every responders know about Wayang Kulit, but doesn’t mean they are knowledgeable in this topic. They are interested in it and they think that it is important for the younger generations to know about it. To preserve this culture, we decided to create the virtual showroom based on their interests to attract them.
The benefits of doing an online survey are we can collect data from all over the Internet and have more perspectives from different peoples. It is an easy and fast way for us and convenience for the public. 

Research Materials

Other than that, we started to do research for our final idea. We had group meeting to understand each person’s ideas about this stage. I did some research on Taylor's Design School and saw a lot of artworks from Interior Design students so I suggested to make an Wayang Kulit Showroom Introduction Poster. This can help the audiences easier to understand the structure and distribution of our showroom.

After I shared with my group mates about the ideas for this poster, Chze Huang suggested us to use Isometric Method because he has knowledge about it and he drew a sample infographic poster. 

This isometric introduction poster will be something to guide the audience to understand the composition and the information in the virtual showroom. We will separate different contents of Wayang Kulit (such as Traditional Puppet, Modern Design and History) into several areas. This can help to save their time by choosing which area they prefer to understand more.

Idea Exploration

These are our basic design ideas for the poster. I would like to apply Wayang Kulit design elements such as gunungan and patterns on it. I also selected particular colour board such as brownish colour to build up an atmosphere. There will also have puppets and musical instruments in the poster.

For the virtual showroom, at first Chze Huang found a website called emaze.

It looks cool but after that Sky found another showroom website - FRAME that we can move in it just like in real life so we decided to use it for the final project.

We have a group meeting together and everyone gets to know the construction of the virtual showroom and starts our work for it. 

FEEDBACK from Ms Jinchi 

Before the presentation
We asked Ms for her opinion what if we couldn't make it to online interview, and she said we can explain it with a good/make sense reason and always be flexible.  

After the presentation
Ms mentioned that is is important to include a brief justification of the selected method of our presentation. Ms said that it is interesting to see us embarking on the visual showroom idea but it would be better if we had included short videos of the virtual showroom. Ms suggested us that need to be more coherence when presenting from one section to another. 

REFLECTION 

At this stage of project, I think everything started to go smoothly and group members are more familiar with each other's style of working. In my opinion, I think that the topic of Wayang Kulit is not that easy since our younger generation including me rarely touch the art and culture of WK. On the other side, it is also a good chance for us and them starting to be acquainted with these traditional culture. Now, I’m getting more interested and excited about my final project because I’m looking forward to make them out.
