Reflection: I found that the lectures are quiet interesting and I was also amazed at how Mr. Tintoy can figured out something like this to create a modern version of a wayang kulit. I appreciate hhow Mr. Tintoy able to balance out the part of a wayang kulit where it was supposed to be a traditional thing only but he managed to change that and create a moderntype of wayang kulit.

INSTRUCTION.
Project 1 - Proposal.
For our first project we were told to create a proposal, the proposal should be supported with our research and also our showcase ideas for our final project design. We were also be given 5 different themes to choose for our project.
These are the 5 given themes:
- Preservation.
- Revival.
- Sustenance.
- Assimilation.
- Trends.
The theme that our group has choosen for our group project is the " Assimilation " theme
For this assimilation theme our group has found some references on the Mexican Culture "Alebrijes". Each member of our group try to choose a place and look for a creature that can refer to the place that each member has chosen. The culture that our group has come up are the Romanian culture, Chinese, Japannese, and Indonesian culture.

Project 2 - Field Study.
On our second project ( continuation from project 1) we were told to do some research about hybrid creature by our lecturer, and also try to brainstrom and design our own hybrid creature.
In week 5 we were able to conduct a private meeting with our lecturer and show him our ideas about creating a new hybrid creature and our lecturer seems to like the idea and he also gave us some tips to help us on how can our new hybrid creature explain itself that it is a hybrid creature that have a connection with our borderless culture situation right now.
We were also told to make an online survey to the general public so that we can know about the opinions of the public or their thoughts of creating a hybrid creature that is connected to this borderless era.
Our group managed to create 8 different hybrid creatures:
- Tibiscus (malayan tiger, sun bear, and hibiscus flower)
- Cyber Chonk ( cyborg, a bee, and a fat dog)
- Rhincaca Owl (Barred-Eagle Owl, Sumatran Rhinoceros, and a Long tailed Macaque)
- Pioma (Llama, Scorpion, Eagle, and Tiger)
- Tigon (Tiger and a Dragon)
- Tigiris (Malayan Tiger and a Malayan Peacock peasant)
- Biscusfly (Bison and a Butterfly)
- Cotlas (Atlas Moth and a Colugo)

After we gathered all the data collection, we also gathered some feedback from the people who did the survey.

On our final project we are required to use all the data that we have collected from our research to produce the visualOn our final project we are required to use all the data that we have collected from our research to produce the visual design outcome that reflect the theme we have chosen on the first place which is the assimilation theme.
Based on the research and data collection of survey that we have gathered the majority of people has voted for Tigiris as the best hybrid creature, so our group has decided to use Tigiris as our hybrid creature for the final project outcome.
