TASK 

Week 1
Mr.Sylvain briefed us about the project and we must choose our own group for this project. Here are my group members: 

1.Jennifer Michelle Hiendrawan (0374682)/UI UX
2.Valenz Jycee Primadi/ Entertainment design 
3.Gabriella Grace Christyanti/ Entertainment design 
4.Tang Lilin/ Graphic Design 
5.Zhou Yi/Graphic Design 
6.Sun Jia Yue/ Immersive Design 
7.Hu Yao Ping/ Immersive Design 

Week 2

This week we must choose the topic for our group project. We choose period poverty as the topic for our project and decided that Jycee will be the leader for our group project

Week 3
This week we decided that our project will be focusing more about menstrual stigma among youth. This week also we start to discuss about our project, start to distribute the tasks for each member, and also start to make the figjam.

Week 4
We decided who is our target group and we chose young adults female and male for the targeted group, aged 18-25 years old.
  • Female who are under 18 years old and over 25 years old 
  • Male who are under 18 years old and over 25 years old and never experience or relate to menstruation, also unaware of any intimate partner experiencing menstruation (no girlfriend, no sister, or no prior exposure to the topic).
After choosing the targeted group, we create the interview  questions and consulted with Dr.Wong at class. After a lot of consultations with Dr.Wong, online and offline, we revised the questions, she said that we must explain more about "stigma" because not everyone know what is stigma. Dr.Wong also said that we must revised some of the questions because some of it are too similar with the other questions. Therefore, we revised the questions and here is the final questions for interview 

Male 
  1. How much do you think you know about menstruation? 
  2. When someone talks about "menstruation", what do you feel? Do you think menstruation is a normal biological process for women? 
  3. When did you first find out about periods and how did you find out? 
  4. When was the last time you saw, heard, or read anything — such as a post, campaign, event, or advertisement — that talked about menstruation or periods? (This could be from social media, school, or any public discussion.) 
  5. Have you ever come across any post, video, or advertisement on social media that discussed menstruation or menstrual health? If yes, could you describe what it was about and how it made you feel? 
  6. In your current environment, do women feel comfortable admitting that they are on their period or talking about menstruation? 
  7. Do you ever feel uncomfortable when your family member/friends get period in public? 
  8. Do you think society has discrimination or prejudice against women   because of menstruation? 
  9. Do you think men should understand menstruation? Why or why not? 
  10. If we were to design an activity or project to help young people understand menstrual health, what do you think would be the most effective form? (Such as lectures, interactive experiences, online content, etc.) 

Female 
  1. Can you explain to me what you know about periods? 
  2. When was the first time you got your period? 
  3. Can you tell me more about your experience relating to period? 
  4. When you first got your period, who bought your sanitary pads? 
  5. When was the last time you saw, heard, or read anything — such as a post, campaign, event, or advertisement — that talked about menstruation or periods? (This could be from social media, school, or any public discussion.) Have you ever come across any post, video, or advertisement on social media that discussed menstruation or menstrual health? If yes, could you describe what it was about and how it made you feel? 
  6. Do you think menstruation is still considered a taboo (culturally forbidden) topic in your community or school? What is the reason? 
  7. Have you ever experienced a situation related to your period in public that made you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable? (for example, leaking, having period cramps, or feeling awkward when you couldn’t join certain activities and people asked about it)? 
  8. Do you ever do things to avoid others noticing your period by hiding sanitary napkins or menstrual products to prevent others from seeing them? 
  9. What actions can we take to change how society views periods, helping people see them as a natural part of life rather than something to hide or feel embarrassed about?
  10. If we were to design an activity or project to help young people understand menstrual health, what do you think would be the most effective form? (Such as lectures, interactive experiences, online content, etc.)
After making the interview questions, we decided the task distribution for the interview. I was assigned to interview females aged 18–25 years.


Week 5
This week i did the interview, did the transcript, and also made a summary and findings based on the interview. Here are the results: 

Fig 2.1 Interview transcript and summary 

Fig 2.2 Interview findings

After did the interview, we discuss and created the affinity diagram by combining the same findings (from both interview, female and male)

Fig 2.4 Affinity diagram male 

Week 6
After watching Dr.Wong feedback to other group and also watch the lectures, i understand that user persona is a fictional character that shares the same goals and behaviours and it is based on our own research. So, me and my group decided to revised the user persona and make 2 user persona only based on the targeted group. Here is the final user persona

Fig 2.5 User persona

After creating the user persona, we also created the empathy map to better understand what is the user need, etc. Here is the empathy map 
Fig 2.6 Empathy map 

This week after creating the user persona and the empathy map, i made the problem statement and also how might we based on what the user needs, goals, etc (based on persona)

Fig 2.8 How might we


Week 7

Today we consult with Dr.Wong about the problem statement and she said that it is already okay. She said that we need to choose the top 3 how might we that will be used for our project. Therefore, we finally decided to use these 3.

This week, we also did the crazy 8s and did 8 sketches for 8 seconds. Here are my crazy 8s results.

Here are the members crazy 8s results

Fig 2.11 All members crazy 8s


Week 8

This week we created the user journey map. Here are the results

Fig 2.12 User Journey map 

After read the user journey map and after look at all of the crazy 8s, this week we decided which idea is the best to overcome the problems that the user have and also which one is the most related to the how might we, user journey map, and user persona. We did pollinng through whatsapp and after a lot of discussions, finally we came up with the board game as our number 1 idea because we wanted to use a unique idea to provide education and eliminate stigma surrounding menstruation among the younger generation in a way that is engaging and fun, so that people would not feel bored while playing it.

I suggested that the board game will have special cards (extra step, freeze ray, switch place, etc) to make it more interesting and also to make the game doesn't go too long 


Week 9

This week, we present about what we already did from week 1 until week 8. We present some of our ideas and decided to focus more on idea 1 which is board game. Turns out Dr.Wong and Dr.Chong really like the idea and they said that it is really interesting to combine education and game. Therefore, after the presentation, we did a discussion and i said that we must make the lo-fi prototype first using paper because from the lo-fi we can test first whether our game is already good, what needs to be improve, etc


Week 10

This week after consultation, we started to make the lo-fi prototype. I was responsible to make the questions and statements for the cards. Therefore, i made 20 questions for question cards and 20 statements for myths vs factts.

Here are the pictures for our lo-fi prototype

Week 11 and Week 12

This week we decided to test the prototype of our game with some participants (especially male) because we want to know whether the questions already good and not confusing, the gameplay duration is already okay, and we want to know what to improve for this game. 


Fig 2.16 Playtest 

After doing the playtest, we received some feedback, one of it is to revised the questions and statements because it sounds weird and it make the players confused.

During the game, i also did some observation for the gameplay duration and turns out it was too long. We played for 40 minutes above and i think we must shorten the tiles because we will play the game at slc, so it is better for us to shorten the duration, but still within a reasonable time limit and not too short, the most important thing is that participants still receive proper education and gain awareness about menstrual stigma.

This week also we finally revised all of the game mechanic and make the final game design. 

Here are the links to the myths vs facts statements and questions that i already made: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K3qOEX8YY1WFWorNEokSPlKd17agYiBs/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=112244701245468846028&rtpof=true&sd=true

I was responsible for designing all of the questions and myths vs facts cards. So here are the process

After designing, i printed all of the game design

We also bought spin wheel from online and bought a lot of rewards for the game, so that the participants later will get free gift after playing from our booth

We also made survey for the pre-game and post-game, because we want to know whether the knowledge has already improve or not

Menstruation Knowledge & Awareness – Post-Game Survey


Week 13

This week we open our booth at slc. I decorated the booth with the other members and here is the result.


Fig 2.19 Booth at slc


At the booth, it was initially difficult to attract a large number of people. However, me and some members eventually made an effort to personally invite passersby to participate, and some of them were willing to join. In the end, we successfully gathered 50 participants after opening the booth at SLC for three days. Below are some documentation photos taken during the booth activities.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19h7gR6qsX9QSPpSNaPiUxyRKvmBY7dTy?usp=drive_link

We did some interview also with some of the participants to see whether if their knowledge already improve or not. For the user testing, we used three methods which is observation, survey and interview.


We open the booth for 3 days.  I attended

Feedback 

For interview
Some questions are similar, please change the questions.

For presentation slide
  • no need to write “task 1”
  • write group project number 
  • it can be 2 paragraph (for executive summary) 
  • change the font empathy phase (user research findings first before empathy) 
  • no need use duration for the interview 
  • give a proper user journey map timeline 

For figjam
Make it neat and categorize it based on each stage, which state is it? empathy define?
Reflection 

Experience
I gained many valuable new experiences through this module. I came to better understand that, as designers, we need to go through the design thinking process before jumping directly into the final design without considering users’ needs, goals, and motivations. Overall, this module was an enjoyable experience, as it taught me how to collaborate effectively within a team to complete what can be considered a long and complex process. I am glad that I was able to sharpen my critical thinking skills through this module, and I found the feedback provided by the client to be very beneficial. I was also very happy that we successfully completed the board game and ran the booth smoothly, and the client was satisfied with the final outcome.

Observation 
I observed that, as designers, we should not skip any step in the design thinking process, as each step is crucial for understanding what the client wants and for evaluating whether the final design outcome aligns with the established design thinking processes.

Findings
I gained many new insights and had the opportunity to get to know teammates from different specializations through this module. I learned how to encourage team members to communicate and engage in discussions so that everyone could participate actively and take shared responsibility for the group tasks.
