Reflections

Working on Design Research Methodology RES60604 was an interesting and satisfying effort. Interest of animation and a question about why traditional techniques still relevant today drove me to decide to concentrate on "Exploring the Enduring Significance of Traditional Animation in the Digital Age". Writing the study proposal was interesting but difficult as it forced me to examine closely past works and grasp the background of my subject.

Particularly insightful were reading papers such as "Basis for a New Theory of Drawing Framework from Traditional Handmade to Modern Virtual Simulation" by Mauricio NOVOA and "Haptic Tactics: Incorporating Traditional Skills in the Digital Animation Studio". These readings sharpened my ability to analyze and helped me to see the way traditional and digital animation approaches interact.

Observations

My investigation turned up some rather significant findings. One important realization was that the boundary between traditional and digital animation is not as sharp as I had first assumed. Many animators use traditional methods applied in digital processes to provide the best of both worlds. The literature is full with discussions on this hybrid approach, which emphasizes how conventional and digital knowledge cooperate.

I also found that developing creativity and fundamental animation abilities still depends on conventional animation. Traditional animation is praised for imparting discipline, accuracy, and a thorough knowledge of movement even with the modern advanced tools at hand. Works of animators like Hayao Miyazaki, who keeps creating hand-drawn animation, clearly show this.

Feelings

My investigations produced some really important results. First of all, there are certain characteristics of traditional animation that computer animation cannot completely reproduce. These include the practical engagement with materials, the hand-drawn frame workmanship, and a unique aesthetic quality. These components help to explain the cultural relevance and ongoing attraction of traditional animation.

Second, mixing digital methods with conventional approaches increases inventiveness. Animators using both techniques get a more flexible approach to their job and a wider skill set. This not only preserves old talents but also generates more creative and varied animation projects. Finally, the direction of animation depends on the preservation of classic animation methods. Maintaining a link to conventional techniques helps us to make sure that fundamental ideas aren't forgotten as digital animation develops. Education that combines conventional and digital abilities will assist upcoming animators develop into well-rounded professionals.

They combine text, images, and design elements to make data and ideas more digestible. Compared to traditional text-based content, infographics capture attention more effectively and improve retention. Types of Infographics There are eight main types of infographics, each serving a different purpose: List Infographics – Organize information into a structured list while using visuals to enhance readability. Statistical Infographics – Present data using charts, graphs, and percentage indica...

All audio had to be created independently, without using pre-existing or third-party sound sources.  I decided to work with Hollow Knight because its visual style and overall tone appealed to me creatively. Since I’ve played the game before, I already had a rough idea of how its world should sound, which helped guide my approach.  However, since I played the game a long time ago and couldn’t clearly remember how it sounded, I referred to a few gameplay videos to refresh my memory and get a better sense of the game's audio ...
