Graduation Thing Pt.2, Week 3: Project Proposals

Independent Proposal

1. What I'll be doing. Like I said in week 1's post, I will be trying on 3 different routines and to keep the record of what was I doing I'll be filming myself executing the experiment. On the other hand, I also wanted to look into rewards where most of the time I kinda abuse it which eventually turns into a guilty pleasure, so I also want to do a proper reward system for myself to get the gist of how reward gets a person motivated.

2. Research Methodologist For research, I would say that the documentation of me doing the routine is part of it, where I'd be experiencing it first-hand and understanding what's good and what's bad. For the reward side, I intend to do a survey to see what the general public do to reward themselves, what they do to reward themselves, how regularly do they do it, so and so.

3. Deliverables - 3 routine videos, 1 conclusion video - Routine and Reward Maker

External Proposal

1. What I'll be doing. For this project I've chosen to join the C-IDEA Design Competition, they have loads of different design categories to submit to, but I then concluded to choose to join the poster design category. The poster design I'll be doing is related to suicide in public places, so in the hope to distract depressed people to not have the impulse to do such irrational things.

2. Research Methodologist. To understand from the perspective of someone who has depressive thoughts, I then have to find someone to get an insight into what they actually feel, and why do they have the idea whenever they are close to dangerous places and how do they pull themselves away from those thoughts. I have a friend in mind already which is good and to get another perspective, I'll be interviewing her close friend as well just to collect more information on what she does to encourage her.

3. Deliverables A series of posters will be set up in dangerous public places.
