3.2.2026 - 27.3.2026 (Week 1 - Week 8) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Major Project 2  FINAL OUTPUT . . . . PRESENTATION SLIDES Or click HERE to view . . . . PROJECT MANAGEMENT DOCUMENT REFLECTION This project has been a wild ride for me. Not only does it push me to my limits, but I also learned a lot of new things about myself and my skills. First, as a perfectionist who still lacks the skill to draw complicated angles, I found it very challenging to give the drawing output that I desire to be consistent throughout the whole work. Some angles took me forever to do, and some still look weird even in the final output, but I had to settle it at that for now due to the time constraint. This is also one of the main reasons why I often fall behind my own schedule throughout the whole project. However, sometimes, when I just had to make ...

3.2.2026 - 27.3.2026 (Week 1 - Week 8) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Creative Writing MONOLOG Reflection Monologue is something I find a bit hard and strange. I'm not used to writing about my inner self, and performing it is definitely something I have always avoided, because I'm not much of a performer nor someone who's confident with so many eyes looking at me. When I looked back at this writing, I noticed that it was sort of lacking in some "deep emotions". It seems like I'm narrating a story of another character. But no, it's actually something so personal that I rarely talk about it to anyone. Maybe that's why, when I knew that I had to perform, all feelings were suppressed, even though I tried to show them in this writing. I'm so used to hiding negative feelings that I find it hard and slightly embarrassing to openly show them, because...

2.12.2025 - 4.1.2026 (Week 1 - Week 14) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Sonic Design - Project 4: Game Audio Design PROJECT 3 - Game Audio Design In this task, we must select a clip of gameplay from the several options provided by Mr Razif, and then create the game audio using our own sound editing. All the audio needs to be ones recorded ourselves, which then will be tuned and edited to fit the game. The one that I chose was a clip from "Hollow Nights". I proceeded to watch the clip and list out all the sounds that I think I will need to fill the game. Audio Asset List Fig. 1.1 Audio Asset List When I already had an idea of what I could try, I proceeded to record the audio. It was a messy process of me kneeling beside my bed and covering my head with my blanket to reduce reverb and white noise as much as possible, with only my arms and head holding the blanket ...

Design Research Dissertation

22.9.2025 - 1.1.2026 (Week 1 - Week 14) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Design Research Dissertation INSTRUCTIONS DISSERTATION DRAFT FINAL DISSERTATION REPORT FLIPBOOK https://online.fliphtml5.com/ahamn/Flipbook-Design-klAl/#p=2 RESEARCH ARTICLE WEEKLY FEEDBACK BY LECTURER REFLECTION      Working on this dissertation was actually quite challenging for me. I had to constantly think about how I can shape my sentence well in a way that is understandable yet looks professional. I had to rely on ChatGPT a lot regarding this matter, and that meant I also had to rephrase a big part of it to reduce the AI percentage. In addition, I had to make sure that the overall text was not too long, considering my research findings alone had taken a huge part of the research paper. I also received several revisions regarding the clarity of my text in some sections of the dissertation paper, ...

Sonic Design - Project 3: Audio Storytelling

11.11.2025 - 30.11.2025 (Week 8 - Week 10) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Sonic Design - Project 3: Audio Storytelling PROJECT 3 - Audio Storytelling In this project, we were tasked with creating a voiceover for a story, whether a book or a movie, and adding the necessary sound effects to support it. We don't have to constantly put the sounds. Just enough to make the story more immersive. Some musics are allowed but not used throughout the whole audio, and to make sure that the music doesn't overpower the rest of the important sounds. 1. CHOOSING A STORY For this project, I decided to take the first pages of the story "The Ugly Duckling" from archive.org  (a free site, but a login is required). The reason for choosing it is that I can imagine that the amount of sounds I can add based on the story narrative would be balanced enough, not too much, and not too quiet. Fig. 1.1 The Ugly Duckling story from archive.org BOOK LINK: ...

21.10.2025 - 4.11.2025 (Week 5 - Week 7) Vanessa Kei Kurniadi / 0360525 Bachelor of Design (Hons) in Creative Media Sonic Design - Project 2: Auditory Imaging TASK 1 - PARAMETRIC EQUALIZER EXERCISE In this task, we are to create a scenario using sounds that we can get from the internet. FEEDBACK Week 5 Always make a copy of the audio file before modifying it from the waveform. Week 6 The planned scenario is more cinematic, so I will need to figure out how to explain everything in sound because there will be no visual help Week 7 Don't forget to put the hard limiter in the mix. Accumulation of all the limited audio will still give more volume than all at once. Can try to change the "game" song to something else, because right now it feels more like a cartoon/movie song.
