You are to research current technology and design trends impacting and defining your area of specialization. Case studies with analysis provides reports on product/service performance and functionality, technical issues and innovations, aesthetics and design appreciation as required to support your new project proposal. The project must address the 'gap' where you have discovered and realized ideas and solutions that generate and capture value in a new manner.
TASK
Week 01 | Topic Discussion
In the first week, we were grouped into teams of four to begin our project. Ms. Vitiyaa gave us a project briefing, outlining what to expect throughout the module.
During our group discussion, below are the ideas that we have brainstormed:
- A board game inspired by Chinese culture (Mahjong)
- A brand new sanitary pad brand focused on empowering women through charm and confidence
- A beverage blind box concept
We discussed three ideas as a group and consulted Miss Anis for feedback. She found all of our ideas interesting, but recommended that we proceed with the concept of creating a new brand of sanitary pads that promotes the message of empowering women by highlighting their charm and confidence.
After the feedback session, we decided to take on the challenge of creating a new sanitary pad brand. To begin, we started researching the topic, focusing on elements like the problem statement and mission.
Week 02 | Proposal Slide Preparation
Ms. Vitiyaa provided us a proposal guide for us to refer to for our proposal presentation:
After conducting research following the first week, we showed our Task 1 slides to Miss Anis and Miss Vitiyaa at the end of Week 1.
Based on their feedback, we refined our content to align with the proposal outline and their suggestions.
Task Overview:
- Introduction
- Problem Statement
- Goals and Objectives
