Ais Kacang x IDD 2018
Ais Kacang x IDD 2018 is a collaboration project between final year BGDSHU and BIDSHU students. The aim is to present a Malaysian dish, Ais Kacang, and visualize it for a far future. Our group consists of 7 students, 2 from BGDSHU and 5 from BIDSHU. We decided to tackle on overpopulation and how it contributes to pollution. But first, take a look at the team :
After forming our group, we began brainstorming on ideas on how to have a presentable Ais Kacang. We had so many meetings, that it is hard to count the number of times. But our meetings are never dull, cause we always crack jokes and laugh at it for hours. Just look at us here :
But anyway, during the discussion, while we ate our lunch, we started to think of how an Ais Kacang would look like in the future after overpopulation have taken over. Our vision of the situation is that resources would be limited and people would fight each other to obtain their needs. Blood will shed! So, once that discussion was done, we individually started sketching our own ideas to see which would suit the best. In the end, we decided to use back everyone’s sketch by merging it into one. Voila :
We then had our interim presentation to pitch our idea. We volunteered Emma to be our presenter as we felt she had extremely good presenting skills. This is our presentation slides :
After sketching, we started planning out our materials and where to get them. Everyone had to get different items. For me, it was acrylic, watercolour, brushes, Chinese ink, and a palette. We gathered together outside of the Mezzanine Floor on Thursday to start our masterpiece. Take a look at us here enjoying ourselves while making our Ais Kacang :
We really enjoyed ourselves while building the prototype. After building the prototype, Pavitra and I designed the presentation boards for our final presentation. Below are how our boards look like :
On presentation day, we asked Emma to present for us again, after her wonderful presentation during the interim. We brought in our prototype to show our lecturers the outcome of the project. This is us after our presentation with our Ais Kacang :

My Reflection :
-
I enjoyed my time in this group
-
We had good communication skills when speaking to one another
-
We support one another during the project and make sure each contributed something
-
Overall, it was a well accomplished project and I had lots of fun

Fortune Race
Fortune Race is a client-based project with Student Services Department (SSD). The aim of this project is to raise awareness on bullying of various kinds, also known as "bullying because of differences.” We as human beings each have our own personalities, and abilities. We are all different in our own ways. However, these differences also divides us because of typical stereotypes created by mankind which leads to bullying among those who believe that they are superior than others.
Firstly, I reused my research from the I Wont Be Silent project and added a few extra research towards the newer version of the “bullying” situation. As the clients wanted a stereotypical-type bullying, I did a few research about stereotypes in Malaysia.
First, I branched out the different kinds of bullying, which includes:
-
Cyberbullying
-
Disability bullying
-
Gay bullying
-
Legal bullying
-
Military bullying
-
Parental bullying
-
Prison bullying
-
School bullying
-
Sexual bullying
-
Trans bullying
-
Workplace bullying
From the branched out list, I pick out those that is applicable towards students and staffs of INTI. Cyberbullying, disability, gay, parental, school, sexual, tans, and workplace bullying are the few chosen ones that needed awareness. From this branched out list, I digged deeper to understand the stereotypes faced within this category. Some basic stereotypes that fits the category includes:
-
Skin colour
-
Disability
-
Education
-
Gender
-
Win or lose
-
Hierarchy
-
Social status
-
Intellectual
-
Body image
-
Personality
Once I had a clear idea on the information that I wanted to raise awareness on, I had another meeting with the clients.
After the meeting and being able to update them on my progress, I started the project by doing some sketches. I needed to understand the design style that I wanted to go with for my project. The project that I would be doing in creating a set of 30 cards that would state a positive or negative stereotype on it while playing on a life-size game board.
To start of the sketches for the cards, I listed out a few variations for each of the 10 category stated earlier.
After drafting the cards, I started to think about the life-size game board. The clients measured the allocated space and gave me the measurements to give an approx. size of the game board. I decided to go with 6ft x 6ft so that it will not look too big/small for the participants. I also had to draft out the objectives of the game for the board.
Once I had drafted all the designs, I transferred to digital and printed out the final outcome.
