✧ We faced some technical issues with one of our project outcomes, the AR Instagram Filter. We had an emergency consultation with Ms Jinchi to discuss the problem we faced. 

------------------------------------------------

Emergency Meeting Notes

1. Create an Infographic layout (A3 size)

- have some information of the filter design (ms jinchi said left but we can do our own placement) 

- put all our list of questions (ms jinchi said right but we can do our own placement) 

- Screenshot of Wanda (wat the filter looks like)   

Design overall needs to reflect back to our DOD style and concept

2. Reflection 

- put in ss of Wanda’s trial filter & talk about technical glitches 

3. Provide link in full detailed PDF

* * disclaimer there is technical issues written in fine print (small text) 

4. For presentation

So long as we answer why design important, why it relates back to our concept

------------------------------------------------

✧ Ms Jinchi advice us to create an Infographic Poster to show case this part of our project and also let the public know that, yes they can play the Instagram Filter game but to keep in mind that there will be a slight glitch. 

✧ I created this poster with the help of the information given to me by my groupmates.

REFLECTIONS

“There is always a different story behind what is known

on the surface.” This phrase is a simplified version of

how I feel about this module. The beneficial part of

this module is that we were exposed to explore other

cultures that we were unaware of or had little to no

knowledge of other than what was on the facet. To

educate and indulge in the world of the cultures we were

all unfamiliar with and came out with ample knowledge

about the culture. Through this project, I learnt to

differentiate what is a part of the culture, and what is

not, and to identify elements that were borrowed and

misused, in this case, the "La Catrina" being adapted

into Halloween costumes. This part reminds me of the

research I did in Task 02 where big companies like

Barbie & Nike borrowed and profited from the

culture, and as Erica (our Mexican-American interviewee)

mentioned, these companies could have gave back a little

of the profit to the culture. A weakness I've noticed in

myself is that I kept forgetting and lost track of which

sites I've taken the research phrases from, as

referencing the original material is fairly vital. This

project pushed me to take more notes & analyse items

more in-depth as so to produce a clearer understanding

which leads to a better outcome! Because my team mates

and I also share the same team as Infographic Design, we

had a hard time dividing the attention & time to

both projects. It would be great if there was more time

to work on the project & flush out all our ideas

more thoroughly! Atlas, I am very satisfied with our end

results & the work my teammates have came up with!
