Lectures (Assignment 2)

Week 8 - The complete publication design

Completion of the research dissertation. comes its visual design

May 18th, 2022

The commencement of the second assignment was initially meant to be covered on the 7th week, but due to a hectic week after public holidays, flowing back into assignments took its slow pace. The post in google classroom was later publicized on the 8th week, where working on a mood board was one of the requirements to kick start the second assignment.

When completing the dissertation, a design for your journal article (dissertation) is to be thought out.


Dr. Hayati provided a few references, guides, and basics for knowing and understanding how to start this particular task. As seen in the slides above.

Students were meant to re-read their dissertation copy to better understand the topic that will be designed through the assignment process. Examining the pages is one of the important parts to carry out as well, later the falling into preparing your templates; that's when accumulating references or contents for a mood board begins. 

A simpler way to put it:

Read the copy
  • Manuscript Preparation
  • Editing
  • Pagination
  • ISBN (International Standard Book Number)
  • Cover design
  • Ready For Press
