BCM206 A2 Developing Digital Artefacts Individual

As time goes by, our project is also gradually advancing. Our initial idea was to design a corresponding admission letter for our university, which would distinguish it from other university notices. It would contain information about the university or its introduction, so that every student who has received a university admission opportunity can experience the culture and history of your university in advance and have a better understanding of the university they are admitted to. This plan was constructed by me, and my inspiration comes from the admission letter of a Chinese university. I am an international student from China and have experienced two different teaching modes. I have also studied at universities in China, so when I saw the admission letter from Tsinghua University, a world-renowned university, I had the idea of creating an admission letter from UOW University in Australia. Tsinghua University is a world-renowned university ranked 25th on the QS rankings, and also a university that every student in China hopes to be recognized. I have observed the design of the admission letter for Tsinghua University in 2023. It is printed in 3D on an envelope, with the gate of Tsinghua University printed on it. This is a landmark building of the university and also a landmark building of the Chinese capital Beijing. This represents the history and heritage spirit of Tsinghua University, and also provides every student who is about to enter the university with the opportunity to learn about their university.

For Ouw University in Australia, I searched for many descriptions from other countries, especially Asian countries, as I am an international student from China. The most important information obtained is that UOW University is a five-star university and an important member of the Asia Pacific University Alliance. Most importantly, it is the largest ICT research center in Australia and one of the largest information technology and telecommunications research institutions in the southern hemisphere. Based on this information, I constructed the first set of admission letter samples for UOW University.

The first challenge I encountered soon came. After releasing the first design layout, Tutor informed us that we cannot directly use the name UOW as the result of our project. Tutor’s suggestion to us is to establish a UOW club for international students through UOW University, so that you can design club specific admission letters or invitations through designs similar to UOW. This provides us with new ideas. As the name and logo of the university cannot be changed or used arbitrarily, we have changed the content of the project to create a club for international students belonging to UOW. We welcome students from various countries or people who want to know UOW University to join the club and learn about UOW University through the cultural and content exchange of the club.

So there was the design of the second layout.

The content of the design drawing is drawn with a blue and white gradient color, which will give people a sense of future technology. The overall content of the icon and the original image have also undergone many changes. Next to the icon, I added two kangaroos. The kangaroo represents Australia, indicating that it is a community from an Australian university. The center of the icon is the three letter ICT, which represents the research center. Combined with the original icon logo, a book represents a university. So combining all the elements means that this is a community within Australia’s largest research center university.

Next is the selection and application of physical technology and virtual technology. In physical technology, I choose laser cutting technology because in the actual processing and production process, we will find that the quality of laser cutting is very high, the entire cutting process is very fast, and the advantages of product processing and production are more obvious. It is not limited to cutting patterns, and automatic layout can be used to save materials. The entire cutting surface is very smooth and clean, and most importantly, the processing cost is very low. It has more accurate, flexible, and efficient characteristics compared to shear washing, and can effectively process various complex components. Compared to 3D printing, it requires only a piece of wood or steel instead of expensive resin, which greatly improves cost savings.

In virtual technology, the choice is Online trials. We hope to design a network community, and those who join our club will have an AI assistant. It will introduce you to the basic content of our club and provide you with a community to communicate with other members of the club. Each AI assistant will have its own unique image, and you can customize different AI assistants according to your needs, The example shows a first-generation design that briefly introduces the role of AI and our club culture to attract more members to join our club. At the same time, we have also designed a QR code next to it. You can use your phone to scan the QR code and receive videos produced by AI to explain the content of the club.
