In our first lecture for this module we were given a good sense on what dissertation was and what it needed to include. Kyle encouraged us to write about something that we were more interested in and if not that write about something that that appears to be a genuine real world problem.

Initial Ideas

In class we were tasked with coming up with some quick dissertation Research titles and Questions that were in relation to interaction design or digital design. This was to help get us in the right mindset of going beyond class and forming some of other titles or questions to work towards our actual dissertation.

Some of the original ones that i cam up with for the exercise were these,

<aside>

How is the increasing use of AI in UI/UX design affecting the value and role of human designers?

</aside>

<aside>

How does simplicity affect user experience in digital products?

</aside>

<aside>

How can UX design reduce digital distractions?

</aside>

Further Ideation

following on from them initial ideas i am going to look into creating some sort of mindmap and try to piece some ideas together, which may include the likes of sports, Ai and just overall interaction and digital design aspects.

From here i went to doing a similar thing but this time i was combining some of the stuff that was featured in this mindmap.

I worked further on the three sectors I felt more strongly towards. From this, I tried to pull what I could from each area and connect some of them where I could to the others. I think I am at an OK stage with the idea generation part at this point, as I now have a rather good understanding of what direction I want to move forward with from these ideas.
