Visual Design and Final Dissertation

In this assignment, we had to do our visual design and finish up the draft dissertation so we can finalize it. Before making visual design, we are supposed to create our mood board so we can give the lecturer on what kind of design we are implying on our book.

After finishing the mood board, I continue on working out my final dissertation. In the final dissertation, I also made the research conceptual framework.

Following the final dissertation completion, I started on my visual design. I started by making the draft for the cover page.

REFLECTIONS

Week 8
This week is the independent learning week so I was able to relax from the assignments I got from all the modules in this semester. I was also exploring inspirations on the mood board so I could get a broader idea of how I should make my design.

Week 9
I finished up making the moodboard and looked up to different layout designs so I can get a clearer vision on what kind of design I am going to make.

This week I started on only the layout and haven’t really started on the illustrations yet. I was figuring out how to really use InDesign as it was a long time ago that I used it last time. I checked out different videos and learned on how to justify the texts, adjust margins, and create the guides to make it look neat.

Week 10
I continued on making my visual design by finishing few sections. I decided to look up more references like what the lecturer said so that I know what kind of design direction am I heading to.

Week 11
This week, I finished up the final dissertation and continued on my visual design. This week I have already made up my mind on what kind of design that I am going to make for the book.

For this project, I will make concept art for the Monster Hunter game.

The subtopics are divided into different people in the group according to their own specialization. For the research part, I had to research game characters and virtual pets. Mr. Mike also provided us with a Miro board where we can put our research there to present to him during discussions in class. For the first two weeks, I did contextual research on virtual pets, explaining their function and providing evidence of whether virtual pet works for mental health issues or not. I used ChatGPT to give me insight into the research I am trying to do. In the third week, we had to scrap off the research because the use of ChatGPT is not allowed so

We are also required to create splash arts of our characters. I first started making the line art for the characters I made throughout this whole module. Fig. 1.1 Ronin Slayer Line Art Fig. 1.2 Samurai Slayer Line Art Fig. 1.3 Tengu Line Art After finishing the line art, I proceeded to the coloring phase. I made some changes to the characters and used the colors that were used during the first project. I also added light and shade effects to the splash art so that it can look as interesting as it can. Fig. 1.4 Ronin Slayer Splash Art I used a rainy theme to this character since it kind of fits the natural vibe of the charact
