Week1
In the first week, our group of six (Gaby, Kat, Aina, Jing En, Ayah and Li Yinuo) was formed. We quickly registered as Group 8 on the Teams spreadsheet and created a group chat for easier communication. On February 12th, we held our first online meeting to finalize our topic, Batik Culture, and soon after, we began working on our proposal.
 
Week2
This week, we focused on preparing our presentation. Each member contributed by researching the background of batik culture. We also drafted our script in preparation for the upcoming presentation.

Week3
On February 22nd, we recorded our presentation via Zoom.The rest of the weekend was spent finalizing and polishing our proposal.

6.Reflection

Learning intercultural design this semester was a very meaningful experience.The assignments for this course are all completed in groups. I have gained a lot from learning with my group members in the past seven weeks.Group work made me deeply realize the importance of teamwork. Everyone has their own strengths and expertise. Through division of labor and cooperation, we can complete tasks more efficiently. At the same time, teamwork also taught me how to communicate and coordinate with others.At the same time,studying intercultural design has made me deeply aware of the impact of cultural differences on design. Design should not only meet functional requirements, but also respect cultural diversity. Through the investigation of the batik industry in Malaysia and Indonesia, I found that although the two countries have similarities in batik craftsmanship, there are significant differences in patterns, colors and cultural symbols.

7.Feedback

  • Will we be focusing on patterns, colors, regions, or other stuff? Batik appears in different cultures, and Batik from Indonesia and Malaysia are distinct from each oth
  • The most important aspect is culture—what does Batik represent? What specific elements are we going to analyze?
  • It might help to research whether different types of Batik hold different meanings, similar to how kimonos have specific shapes, colors, and floral designs that symbolize different seasons or themes.
  • Once we identify the core essence of Batik—its symbolic meanings—we can explore how to apply those elements to modern, everyday design. For example, if sakura flowers on a kimono represent harmony and peace, you might ask: What type of fashion best represents harmony? It could be something comfortable, like a T-shirt. From there, you can incorporate Batik elements into that fashion in a meaningful way.
  • By following this process, our team can clearly define our goals and create designs that truly reflect Batik’s cultural essence.

Design Principles -Task2 Visual Analysis and Ideation February 20,2025(week4-week5) DESIGN PRINCIPLES LI YINUO/ 0369740 Bachelor of Fashion Design Technology (Honours) Instruction Task2 In task1, I chose the art work I was most interested in, Van Gogh's Starry Night. In task2, I needed and made a visual analysis, and conceived three sketches from it. Visual analysis work: Title:Starry Night  Artist's/designer name:Van Gogh  Date:June 1889 Reference link: https://www.nbfox.com/the-starry-night/ Observation This work of art was created by the scenery that Van Gogh saw from the window of the ward when he was hospitalised in 1889, integrating his imagination and emotional expression. The work fully reflects Van Gogh's unique artistic style and skills, using dynamic lines to depict the starry sky and clouds, making the picture full of vitality.The swirling starry sky in the painting reflects Van Gogh's inner turmoil and uneasiness and his extreme loneliness and pain during h...
