18/07/2025 - 25/07/2025 (Week 13 - Week 14) Yong Xiao Tong / 0368290 Design Research Dissertation / Bachelor of Design (Honours) in Creative Media  Task 4 : Final Assessment - Research for Article Publication Final Submission Reflection This task is about turning my dissertation into an article using the KREATE template. The main adjustments I had to make were reducing the length and reworking the structure, including all visuals and references. I focused on selecting only the most essential content while maintaining the core message and argument of my research. Overall, I made sure to compress the material without compromising clarity.

Design Research Dissertation | Task 3

18/07/2025 - 25/07/2025 (Week 13 - Week 14) Yong Xiao Tong / 0368290 Design Research Dissertation / Bachelor of Design (Honours) in Creative Media  Task 3 : Final Dissertation Final Submission Reflection After submitting my final dissertation, the Turnitin AI detection score exceeded the limit slightly. As a result, I was asked to revise my paper. While I had used an AI tool to help polish some of my paragraphs, the ideas and content were entirely my own. I reviewed the sections that were flagged as AI written and rephrased them again. It was a bit frustrating at first, but the experience taught me the importance of expressing ideas in my own words and being more mindful of how I use assistance tools.

I eventually found a tutorial that really helped me through the process. It took some time to build and get it working across all screens, but I’m glad I was able to implement it successfully. I had been stuck on this part for a while, so it felt great to finally get it working.

I started by looking for mood boards. I already had an idea of what I wanted the design to look like, including the colour scheme, so it was easy to find styles that matched my vision. After that, I focused on the layout and how to present each part clearly and visually. Deciding on the layout was quite easy. The only real challenge was making sure the design stayed consistent across all pages, so I had to keep adjusting the text and images. Despite that, I’m satisfied with the final outcome.

The goal is to visually and conceptually prepare the interaction design and animations that will enhance the user experience of our application.  Splash Screen Weather apps typically don’t need a splash screen since users just want to get straight to the forecast. But since some well-known weather apps, like AccuWeather, still include one for branding, and AI also suggested keeping it quick and minimal, I decided to include a simple splash screen with a fade-in and fade-out anim...
