TCDC (Thailand Creative & Design Center)


TCDC's key focus is to create an opportunity for Thai people to access source of knowledge for their new inspirations. TCDC will provide them with an opportunity to experience and absorb of new creativities by learning from success and achievement of all famous artists and designers worldwide.

Thailand Creative Design Center is filled with books, great graphics about 35000 books. It also offers numerous other media have made ​​access to global design authentic. To be living in the material connexion, there are several such exotic materials that are available to the world.

First that I see is the same and different (ความเหมือนและต่าง)
She tell us to look down on each point to see the difference. Look at each city is unique. Select New York because its clear and unique. The New York time ,what he commented will affect the whole world. A Victorian style house. If look into the mirror everyone is Thai but in each people will have its own unique.

Then here they divide into 3 zone have many achievement. I will give examples :

The first zone is บิดปรับแปลง. I see several thing in this zone that in my real life such as Military suit : designed to blend with the natural if we viewed from afar, it adjust color with nature. Food containers style Chinese : the true is design by America people. Kidkat : is British sweets but popular in Japan. Alcohol of Okinawa : use Thailand rice but they produce better than Thailand. KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON : encourage for London World War II. Reuse and transformed into a new word.

The second zone is เอาของเก่ามาเล่าใหม่ - Give value and meaning to things. And this is the example of things that I see in this zone : Duck toy - Netherland's artist create big duck to show for bring happiness.
Vans shoe - put kitty into the shoes for increase value. The girl will buy it. Lamp - expansive because we give the story into its that mean put value and meaning. Typewriter using Ipad - mix the old and new technology together and its work very well!!

And this is the last zone, everything have unity can reach into every class.Eveyone can use it. I will tell you of what I see in this zone : Emoji dick - offer to web kickstartor then receive the buget. This can occur ,give oppertunity to designer for creative new one. Cocacola container - design for put the madicine between space but its not work so it change to pack like bottle.

The next that guide take us to visit is library. First thing that I observe is Living wallpaper that customer looking for inspiration for working. In libraly have search point use for search book.
Have reading room for more than 3 people.
Have multimedia room for watch movie.
Have book bin for put the book that readed.
Have media service for borrow DVD, CD or Photocopy.
Have trand book is predict the trend that will happen in the future almost is about fashion.
Have material connexion is material libraly. Contain material about 3000 of pieces. Divide into 8 type. In the word have this libraly 11 place.
The material in this room are safe for environment , new innovation and can produce in industry.

That's all today that we're visit at TCDC. Thanks for keeping read!!

Study at TK park

12/3/2014

Today we're not study in our university. We change place goto TK park at Central World. I know this place for long time but this is the first time that I visit here and yes it free ticket!! haha. Here is a source of learning, people can come to read and research information. Peaceful of sitting read a book as well. So come into class I will tell you what I have learning in this time.
Today in class we learn about Interaction Design. Interaction Design is about how to design objects that interact with us but it's not relate to technology, it's include everything that around us. So in this topic have many issues involved such as HCI , US and design.
Active learning ->> Designed for not shy to learning.
Want to do a library.

Software interactive design extension of Interactive design (IxD).

Focus on interface design and web design.

Vocab Ergonomic -> Used in accordance with the body. Like when we want to design the things for customer to use this topic is very important such as we want to design sofa, we need to make it ergonomic.

Information Architecture is very important branch.

Let's go to learning about Learn, Agile and UX.

Learn is education to understand it.

Agile means the design work out to achieve agility such as designer is design meeting room without chair for a quick meeting. I think it is a good idea when finish meeting, employees will be work by not waste a time.

UX or User experience is satisfaction of users with the system. It's mean we think that our work it good enough ,but actually it may not be good for others. So we need other user to test our work then get feedback to develop further.

User-centered design (UCD) is  a design philosophy where the end-user’s needs, wants and limitations are a focus at all stages within the design process and development lifecycle. Products developed using the UCD methodology are optimized for end-users and emphasis is placed on how the end-users need or want to use a product instead of forcing the end user to change his behavior to use the product. In our daily life you can see the product of the apple brand, the designer has design on customer base as what customer needs. It's not like Teschnology design is design for technology. So Apple's brand is meet customer demand, making brand is very popular. So we have to learn how to make our object meet customer need, can following the image on the right size.

So you can see the difference between UX and UCD. I will summery for you to read.

UXD describes what's designed (the experience). UCD describes the process (starting with user research and validated through artefacts like personas). In practice, most UX designers try to work in a user-centered way, but that's not always easy to achieve under commercial constraints, especially when the user and the customer are not actually the same person (e.g. advertising products).

This course is not commonly used term users but use the term audience. Designed to provide accessible to people and computers are essential. Because human and computer have different strengths and weaknesses that you can see in figure. But in various designs almost of the human is totally invented.

Long-term memory is, obviously enough, intended for storage of information over a long period of time. Despite our everyday impressions of forgetting, it seems likely that long-term memory actually decays very little over time, and can store a seemingly unlimited amount of informationalmost indefinitely. Indeed, there is some debate as to whether we actually ever “forget” anything at all, or whether it just becomes increasingly difficult to access or retrieve certain items from memory.

Short-term memory can become long-term memory through the process of consolidation, involving rehearsal and meaningful association. Unlike short-term memory (which relies mostly on an acoustic, and to a lesser extent a visual, code for storing information), long-term memory encodes information for storage semantically (i.e. based on meaning and association). However, there is also some evidence that long-term memory does also encode to some extent by sound. For example, when we cannot quite remember a word but it is “on the tip of the tongue”, this is usually based on the sound of a word, not its meaning.

A virtual learning environment (VLE) is a set of teaching and learning tools designed to enhance a student's learning experience by including computers and the Internet in the learning process.

Social interactive such as Instragram, Youtube ,Facebook and etc.

To help designers deal with these changing rules and rising expectations, we introduce a concept called Player Centered Design that puts the player at the center of the design and development process. The figure below illustrates the process of Player Centered Design and outlines the various steps to help structure your gamification.project.And these are things that cannot missing where the user is keep it fun!!.

Designed not to forget the most important thing is security. And in this part it have theory called Secure Interaction Design ,because each of work must be safe for use.

This picture is about the physicology of interaction design and it divided into categories, as shown in Fig.

Now it the end of this week. There is so much interesting content.

Thanks for reading <3

Dialog in the dark

7/3/2014

Dialogue in the Dark exhibition which is organized in many countries, including Thailand.
Facebook of exhibition -- www.facebook.com/didthailand

Place : จัดแสดงที่จัตุรัสวิทยาศาสตร์ อพวช. ชั้น 4 จามจุรีสแควร์ สามย่าน

Can come in many ways as well MRT Samyarn station , buses, but to date we chose to Taxi.
Front entrance, no people here is Science Square. I'll have to play about science. It's similar small science museum.When we entered, they will give sticker.I need to buy a ticket at the counter. Tickets for children 50 baht. Adult tickets 90 baht. Promotion students issued tickets 50 baht here.Then we select showtime and enter no more than 8 people , each round approximately 15 minutes.

By the time they had to explain the rules to you again. And give to a staff and explain how to use it.

Before to the prepare money about a 20 baht, because inside is a scenario that we bought it.When entering, it will be a guided walk inside. And explain us in many issues. A simulation of everyday ordinary people. I suppose we will not see that we are blind.The model will have a place such as parks, street markets, bars and living room. Zone the market will have fruits and vegetables that we smell and feel. Last zone, Zone will be selling snacks, soft drinks cans sold price is 15 baht, Pocky 20, other snacks 5 baht and water 10 baht. I just purchased a guide to take us to sit and eat. And ask a questions which asked both personal and the subject of the project. 

"1 hour in the dark could make you see the world and this life is changed forever."

Thankyou :)

Week6

Start with this concept.
Physical Computing <<----------- Interactive Computing
                                  connect to
I will explain physical Computing for you :
It is anything can be touchable or tangible such as things that hands-on and all equipment.

Today we talk about Tangible & intangible
Tangible is anything that you can touch. In the other way is Intangible such as ICT (Information Communication Technology) ,Digital TV and Telephone system ,that you cannot touch.

Got to design learning process, Got to understand human brain.
In human brain : cognitive is process of learning ,and neuron science is about brain.

Trend of physical computing
- Google like to buy thing that would be the trend in the future.

Lifelong learners are typically characterised as "self directed" or "self regulated" . Garrison presents a model of self directed learning that "integrates self management (contextual control), self monitoring (cognitive responsibility) and motivational (entering and tasks) dimensions to reflect a meaningful and worthwhile approach to self directed learning".

As shown in Figure, lifelong learning is understood as a cyclic process with four key pillars.

What is the difference between a school and a museum is students to learn from texts. However, learning in museums learning from the real.

Guest lecture : P'O
Engineering VS Architecture
In time of learning engineer learning all about text but architect learning all about picture.

Before you start doing something, you have to in ordering ideas.

Videos that inspire P'O to build the same machine and lead winning the contest.

Week 4

4/02/2014

5 years ago touch screen popular but now a day we have a lot of touch screen in museum.

When children go to the museum, at first they will go directly to play touch screen. So technology touch screen is one of example in real life that we can see it is interactive technology.

Blue screen or Green screen

How do they make the impossible happen in movies and make it look totally real? For example: ­
In the movie ET, how did they make it look completely real when the boys' bicycles began flying?

In the movie Star Wars, how did they make it look completely real when Luke flew his X-wing fighter down the trench of the Death Star with Twin Ion Engine fighters in close pursuit? The X-wing fighter, TIE fighters and the trench were all models...

In all of these cases, the illusion is created by a special effects technique known as blue screen.

Design and Development Process

1. Conceptual phase : In this phase will focus on product and concept by must have gathered ideas and information. Consider idea of the purpose of the museum and visitors for get better product.

2. Development phase : In this phase is summarize purpose of the exhibition and what they want to convey. Start with write story line to design exhibition by consider what customer will get and knowledge.
3. Functional Phase : Part of this phase, we will achieve the purpose exhibition and open to visitors to learn, until end of exhibition it is part of the terminating stage that is part of the demolition. It will be repaired and brought back to its original.
4. Assessment phase : As part of the evaluation work is done. Assessment made ​​by the exhibition format.With the evaluation report by an introduction to what should be improved in various aspects.

Week 3

29/01/2014

Let's begin with What is our purpose to go to สสส.
- Think out of the box let us a visit As we are user

If, in class we learned we would be

• Designer
• Techologist
• learning Scientist

Universal Design for Learning Guide (UDL)

• Representation is to give information or meaning to audience who visit your place.
• Expression or Action is something that make audience have interactive with you work or place.

• Engagement is make audience have a good experience or impression with your work or place.

 

Convivial Activity:  คือ Design interactive computing technologies for people to see or use technology. Our fun when I feel happy to see  and said Wow!!!

For example, that we said WoW!! Clearly that the World Expo is held here.
