MA Learning Agreement for PGD

What is your subject of study?
My subject of study is use of Lighting combined with colour to affect emotions within interactive environments and installations. This will consider the various aspects of emotional design as applied to interaction design. Specifically it will consider how lighting and colour effects can be used to create interactive environments that affect the participant’s emotional state. As a contrast or opposite of the use of colour I will investigate or explore simple drawings or pattern.

What is your research question?
How can modern lighting and colour be utilized to affect an emotion response with in an interactive environment. And explore how can simple lighting effects and drawings patterns attract and keep people attention.

Research aim(s):
What are the overall aims of the project?
In design, we see lights and colour all around our surroundings without ever thinking of the true effects they have on us. The purpose of my research has two parts. First is to find what emotions lighting and colour create by providing examples and how they are used to impact emotions and how to design an interactive environment with lighting combined colour have emotional effects on people. The second, investigate attract and keep people attention by using drawing patterns.

Research objectives(s):
What are the specific project objectives?
Note: these are separate to what you personally need to learn in terms of skills and knowledge, see learning objectives below.
1.    Lighting research
a.   Research lighting, see variety of light and light materials such as LED lighting, OLED lighting and light pipe, optical fibbers, how they set up.
b.   Research light art works and other uses of lighting within installations and interactive environments
c.   Research the specific emotion effects of lighting
2.   Colour research
a.   Research colour therapy
b.   Research colour influence people’s mood
c.   Research artwork about colour used in different environments
3.   Other research relate to my subject
a.   Research semiotics and simple pattern lead thinking logic
b.   Research examples of semiotics keep attention
c.   Research in depth emotional design as part of interaction design.
d.   Develop a series of interactive products and/or environments that embed the above research within practice

Rationale
·        What is the wider context of your project?
The influence of environment on human persons, for instance the influence of wood environment on physiology and psychology of human body by psycho physiological method. (HAIPENG, Y., YIXING, L. & ZHENBO, L., 2003 ) has a paragraph write about the effects of neutral colour and natural environment.
psycho physiological method (FRISTON, K. J. and others, 1997). It give a clear explanation why colour can effect emotion in physiology aspect.  
BLEICHER, S., 2012. contemporary color theory & use. 2th ed. NY: Delmar
Also, way finding system gives examples of simple pattern attract attention.
Emotional/mood lighting used to alter behaviour
·        How does the project relate to your previous experience/practice?
My previous experience is about organizing rooms (space) and consider about how to make a humanization design. That relates emotions, environment, and lighting, colour always appear in environment which relates with my current project.
·         
·        How does it relate to relevant current practices, debates and theory?
For my project, lighting will be used to affect an emotion response with in an interactive environment. It relates to present advanced lights, such as LED and OLED light, and also light design artworks like: color change floating ball http://www.glow.co.uk/news/light-art-goes-fully-interactive/. Pablo Valbuena artwork & Louise Blouin Foundation Building http://dariorodighiero.com/category/lighting/  They are current practices by using lighting. In addition, there are two main theories about colour effect emotion, colour psychology and colour therapy. Also psycho physiological method explains why colour has effect to people.
·        Why is the intended research significant? (So what?)
Because of changes in lighting technology it allows new uses of lighting effects, therefore emotional design and opportunities for changes of behaviour. This will enable the development of new experiences and potentially products. References?
·         
·        How does this project relate to your plans for the future?
I tend to do interior design in the future, as colours and lights can be seen everywhere in a indoor space, so create a interactive environment by using colour and light is valuable for me.

Methodology
·        Outline the research, creative and intellectual methods you will employ to develop your research project.
The influence of colour to people’s mood
Psycho physiological method
Emotional lighting used to alter behaviour
Emotion design
Orientation and identity
LED lighting and OLED lighting
Light environment

·        Identify ethical considerations where appropriate.
My project does not apply ethical considerations. Because in my project, search light environment effects and emotion of people, it may include emotion such as happiness, exciting, melancholy etc. but not related to ethic.

Learning objectives
·        Link to your personal skills audit and development plan; identify the skills that you will develop and knowledge that you need to acquire. Match the objectives against the MA programme learning outcomes.
1.   Photoshop
2.   Flash
3.   How to control lights by use computer and understand the system


Submissions (practical and/or written work)
·        Describe your intended body of work, including your reflective journal and the summative critical review
Hard to organize, lack of writing work but some of the writing can express the aim of the research

·        Specify the audience and communication context for your project.
Could be anyone, kids, students workers, including all people pass by the particular room

·        Describe how you intend to evaluate/ test project outcomes with your audience.
I intend my audience enjoy playing with my creation, I hope they feel it is interesting and never have this experience before

Resource implications
·        List what resources are required within or outside of the University
interaction design》《semiotic-sociology》《orientation and identity》《emotional design》《the influence of wood environment on physiology and psychology of human body by psycho physiological method》《the design of everyday things

·        Identify other organisations or individuals involved that you will rely upon and describe what role they will have
Some artists and the artwork of lighting, lectures about other subjects, such as fashion design, exhibitions, they expand my horizon give me direction of ideas I should go to.
