Field Study and Data Collection

It is time for the awaited field trip to Japan for data collection. While I expected the land of the rising sun to be rich in culture, the expectation did little to brace me for the experience. The country is beautiful, filled with so much to see that can give you a new lease on life. There is so much to take in and so much to observe. yet why do i feel so restricted...

The data collection for our topic could have gone better though. Between the mid winter weather, the lack of any significant events during the duration of our visit, and the workplace policies, we found quite a few difficulties in collecting data. This is particularly so for the cosplay aspect of our topic as less people dress up in winter and the lack of events also does little to change that.

 Nonetheless, below is what data we did manage to collect.

This is also because some systems possess a very decorative st...

Teoh Hoong Boon (Julius) | 0338478 Character Design Development Compilation Module Info Instructions As the name of the module suggests,the assignment given to us is to develop a world and two characters based on the idea of "big & small". This can be in the form of parent and child, protagonist and companion and so on. A criteria regardless of the relationship of the character is that one has to be humanoid and ideally the size difference should be somewhat obvious though not immensely necessary. Task 1: World-building My concept actually begins further back than the semester. I have had this idea floating about my brain for quite sometime and have actually tried giving form to it before, though not in detail.
