Final Reflection

Throughout this project, I learned how to develop a research topic in a more structured and focused way. By working on the study of layout and space in UI design, I gained a clearer understanding of how interface design decisions can influence users’ cognitive ease, such as clarity and information search, as well as emotional responses like comfort or stress. Adjusting my research direction based on feedback helped me keep the project consistent and aligned from the research questions to the final conclusion.

This project also helped me improve my research and writing skills. I learned how to organize academic content more clearly, especially in sections such as the introduction, methodology, and discussion. Using screenshots and figures instead of only text made my methodology and analysis easier to understand. I also became more aware of the importance of using proper references and following academic formatting rules.

In addition, I gained practical design experience by preparing layouts and visual materials for the final submission. Working with tools such as InDesign helped me understand the importance of visual hierarchy, spacing, and consistency in presenting information. Overall, this project helped me build confidence in both academic research and design practice, and it has provided a useful foundation for future studies and projects.
