TASK 2: DATA COLLECTION

Week 4: On this week, we discussed among the group members on the best idea among the 5 preliminary  ideas. Based on the discussions and the lecturer feedback, we decided to go with the idea of designing mobile phone cases. Mobile phone cases are very popular now so it seems fitting that we design phone cases that can be a fitting replacement for passing down the use of rock and roll album art / posters that were previously used by rock and roll fans, to a medium that is commonly used by modern generations. 

For the next part, we discussed about the method of data collection. Since the idea was based somewhat widely on popularity, we decided to collect data via an online survey. 

We split the work among the group members. I worked mostly on the research part for the different types of album art.

We created a google form and sent out the survey. When the survey was commenced, we had received data from 53 participants.

Week 5: On this week, we worked on visual and survey analysis as well as the presentation. We split the work among group members. I worked on presenting the survey results.

Week 5: 

General Feedback: Make necessary changes to work based on feedback.

Specific Feedback: Mr.Vinod gave us feedback on our presentation. He told us to include the conclusion in the presentation based on the research and survey results.

REFLECTION

EXPERIENCE: Task 2 was a lot of work stacked in a short period of time. Especially since we had to send out a survey and wait for responses. I feel like the amount of time we had for survey results is too short. But our group managed to get everything done.

OBSERVATION: At the beginning of the module, it was a little difficult to work as a group since everything was online. We had slight difficulties in scheduling meetings and coming to decisions. But it improved along the way. Task 2 wasn't easy but I feel like it was more productive than the first task.

FINDINGS: During the research and analysis, I found many interesting aspects of design in the rock and roll world. The changes to the design norm in music and the experimentations of different mediums and styles during the rise of rock and roll age was very impressive. I feel like the impact of rock and roll in design is as significant as it's impact on the world of music.
