1. ACID STORY
• What is Acid
o Nitric or sulphuric acid has a catastrophic effect on human flesh. It causes the skin tissue to melt, often exposing the bones below the flesh, sometimes even dissolving the bone. Acid is any chemical compound ,when dissolved in water,gives a solution with hydrogen.In other word, it is a substance that tastes sour. Reacts with metals, carbonates and turns blue when litmus paper is red.it is a very dangerous substance.when ever it comes closer to any object it destroys totally. Acid is very easy to found. It is a common substance to get in the country like India ,Pakistan, Bangladesh and Cambodia. A cup of Acid poured form any car battery or purchased from auto repair shops. Costs only a few Cent and is therefore both a cheap and available weapons.
• Acid Violence
o Acid violence is a particularly vicious and damaging form of violence in Bangladesh where acid is thrown in people’s faces. The overwhelming majority of the victims are women, and many of them are below 18 years of age. The victims are attacked for many reasons. In some cases it is because a young girl or women has spurned the sexual advances of a male or either she or her parents have rejected a proposal of marriage. Recently, however, there have been acid attacks on children, older women and also men. These attacks are often the result of family and land dispute, dowry demands or a desire for revenge. The victims are attacked for many reasons. In some cases, the attack takes place because a young girl or woman has spurned the sexual advances of a male or has rejected a proposal of marriage. Recently, however, there have been acid attacks on children, older women and sometimes also men. These attacks are often the result of family or land disputes, dowry demands or a desire for revenge. Reasons for acid attacks during the years, the highest rate of occurrence took place over Land Disputes and Family dispute, the next highest rate of these brutal incidents are due to refusal of relationship/sex throughout the country.

4. CASE STUDIES
Case studies 01 – will have more to be updated later
Bangladesh: the case of Babli Akter
Who Threw the Acid? by Babli, a 5 year old survivor \Who threw it? Who threw the acid?
My father did.
My father had the acid and flung it.
Who did he throw it on?
Who was his target?
His daughter.
He threw acid on his daughter because
She was not born a son.
Babli Aktar was aged only seven months old when her father poured acid intoher mouth and on different parts of her body every day for five days. In a clear case of attempted female infanticide, Babli’s father was so ashamed of her sex that he intentionally tried to kill her in one of the most heinous and cruel ways.

Floor Plan







This is my floor plan. I will put LCD monitor and mouse.

Week 1 to Week 4

During my FYP-1 course, which was the previous semister, I have collected a number of data and performed a survey. My topic for the project is ACID VIOLENCE. It is very rare to find Acid violence in Malaysia. The idea about Acid violence is almost negligible to be found within the people of Malaysia.

I went to Banagladesh and gathered all the information and pictures. I required from an organization known as ASF ( ACID SURVIVOR FOUNDATION).
Acid Survivors Foundation (ASF) has been working on acid violence issues since 1999. ASF has gained national and international recognition for its dedicated support to the acid survivors.ASF also has initiatives to engage the media, celebrities and students in implementation of prevention activities.I have collected all information from this organization.

Week-1 I was presentaing to my respctable lecturer Mr.Hafiz what I will going to do my FYP-2. I explain about my flowchart.
Week1 to week 4 I was organize my all information. and I edit all information.as it is full of information I need to read more and more and finally I organize all information.

In my interactive information there will be 4 buttons.

ACID STORY( before trying to comprehend the concept of ACID VIOLENCE it is first necessary to know what an ACID is.
ACID VIOLENCE ( explin about acid violence.why it happened and which country all)

MY VOICE ( reason why I choose this topic. I will explain in my point of view )

OUR VOICE ( I have prepared an individual video where I have asked people about the acid violence and recorded about their perceptions about the topic. people from different countries have expressed their feelings about the awefull crime.

CASE STUDIES ( I thought of not including any pictures of the acid violence victims in my design since it is extremely horrifying and disturbing. but later I felt that if I dont show these pictures to my target audiences they will not have a clear idea about the crime since the people of Malaysia all ready have a very little or no idea about ACID VIOLENCE is neglegible.here i will put all real case studeis with victims pictures)

I made simple screen design and I am not sure it will be my final screen design or not. I will keep editing. also I include sound in my design.
I make my gantt chart. I designed how I organise my time line.

At National Art Gallery

5th of AUGUST our lecturer Mr.Lim Kok Yoong took us to the National Art gallery, Kuala la Lumpur. There was few video art screenings were displayed. Among all those video screening , certain were really eye catching and full of deep thought no matter complicated, I Have watched several times for better understanding. After that we went upstairs for further art works. All those art work , gave me a pleasure and deep interest about the new culture. Several times I personally came in this National Art Gallery, every time my mind gains new ideas .it refreshes my mind as well. Every time there is different kinds of exhibitions. And this helps me to achieve more knowledge. Any ways, Mr. Kok Yoong has invited one of the artist to meet up especially with us. That was an amazing experience. That Famous Artist named “RUPESH “ was so down to the earth. We all talk together liked an open discussion , we sat down on the floor and then discussed. Mr.Rupesh asked all of us about our Final year Project’s Topic. His IDEA is not like a typical one ever. It was from a different perspective. This touched my heart deeply . Because moreover this is something different from the usual way of teaching method in the class room.

CONTEXT

Acid Violence is contextually a social issue and a cultural issue.

Social Issue
This crime is mostly committed by men. The fact that a large portion of Bangladesh society is male dominated adds to the social aspect of the crime.Another aspect is the lack of access of education which comes from poverty.
Cultural Issue
Since this violence is increasing day by day, the idea is spreading among people and becoming an easy way of taking revenge.

CRITIQUE-2 (Research and Analysia)

WHAT IS ACID?
Acid is any chemical compound.It is a very dangerous substance,when ever it comes closer to any object it destroys totally.

HOW DOES IT AVAILABLE?
Acid is very easy to found. It is a common substance to get in the country like India ,Pakistan, Bangladesh and Cambodia.A cup of Acid costs only a few Cent and is therefore both a cheap and available weapons.

HOW DOES ACID USE
Acid poured form any car battery or purchased from auto repair shops.

WHAT IS ACID VIOLENCE?

Acid violence is a particularly vicious and damaging form of violence in Bangladesh where acid is thrown in people’s faces. The overwhelming majority of the victims are women, and many of them are below 18 years of age. The victims are attacked for many reasons. In some cases it is because a young girl or women has spurned the sexual advances of a male or either she or her parents have rejected a proposal of marriage. Recently, however, there have been acid attacks on children, older women and also men. These attacks are often the result of family and land dispute, dowry demands or a desire for revenge.

CONSEQUENCES OF ACID VIOLENCE
Nitric or sulphuric acid has a catastrophic effect on human flesh. It causes the skin tissue to melt, often exposing the bones below the flesh, sometimes even dissolving the bone. When acid attacks the eyes, it damages them permanently.

REACTION AFTER GETTING AFFACTED BY ACID
The scars left by acid are not just skin deep. In addition to the inevitable psychological trauma, some survivors also face social isolation and ostracism that further damage their self-esteem and seriously undermine their professional and personal futures. Women who have survived acid attacks have great difficulty in finding work and, if unmarried (as many victims tend to be), have very little chance of ever getting married. In a country like Bangladesh this has serious social and economic consequences.















The findings of the survey which are raw data collected by distributing questionnaires among the targeted population of Kuala Lumpur and Cyberjaya. Before proceeding to the actual process there was a distribution of 100 questionnaires. Many of the questionnaires were incomplete, some of them were missing and some of them were found to be filled out without fulfilling the choices given while someone put their own irrelevant choices. After cleaning and justifying only 90 questionnaires were found to be in order for a proper analysis and capable of suggestion making.

Assignment-Critical commentary

IDENTIFY SOCIAL/USER BEHAVIOUR

It is the study of devices with which a user can interact. The practice typically centers into the ambient social complexities of the physical world. It can also apply to other types of non-electronic products ,Human relationship and services, and even organizations. Interaction design defines the behavior (the "interaction") of an artifact or system in response to its users.The best place to find images, animations, even sound and video file clips in the public domain is by visiting Web sites that maintain graphics archives. Many have search engines or have the files subdivided into categories. Most simulations are designed as Flash animations.


IDENTIFY A EXAMPLE/CREATION/PROJECT/INNOVATION THAT IS CATERED FOR THIS BEHAVIOURS:

Using CD-ROM as a marketing and design medium allows for an interactive presentation of my topic that will capture the attention and imagination of the audience. Using cd-roms as simple as it gives viewers a deeper and more influential presentation that will make the content stand out above the rest. Interactive designers are typically informed through iterative cycles of user research. User research is used to identify the needs, motivations and behavior of end users. This design with an emphasis on user goals and experience, and evaluate designs in terms of social/user behavior and effective influence.
For example, I am focusing on “Acid Violence”.Many Non –Governmental -Organization (NGO) has been developed in the country .It has several branches through out the country. The main focus of all these NGOs’ are to take proper care of the victims and help them to survive in future with out any Fear.for more information plz log in to : http://www.acidsurvivors.org/


HOW IS THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED IN MY PROJECT?

For my project, ACID VIOLENCE is a drastic issue in Bangladesh. This issue is hampering in the culture and society in a rapid form. .Many awareness needs to be created. The problem is not only happening meaninglessly. It is occurring due to the Illiteracy, unconsciousness, rejection of the wedding proposals, Dowry, Revenge from the Enemies so on and so forth. It is happening for a long time and the sufferer is getting affected for the rest of her life. Especially, women are the main sufferers. This major problem is now spreading into the whole society.So Interactive CD ROM will be the best way from my point of view in order to create more MASS AWARENESS in our society.ACID VIOLENCE is serious crime. I alone can not solve this issue.Eventhough through Multimedia Interactive Cd Rom will be good enough to Create awareness and rise consciousness to the public. My interactive Cd rom will be Much more informative because it will consist with case studies focusing to the victims itself, their story telling and videos.


CD-ROM Advantages


When compared to instructor-led programs, the features and benefits of CD-ROM training include all those shared by other types of technology-based training:
• self-paced
• highly interactive
• increased retention rates
• reduced costs.

CD-ROM Limitations


One of the disadvantages of CD-ROM based training, when compared to instructor-led delivery, is the lack of peer-to-peer learning opportunities. After all, good instructors are really supposed to be facilitators, who bring out experience-based lessons and realizations from the students themselves
The biggest drawback of CD-ROM-based training when compared to Web-based training is the difficulty in updating or changing the content. Once a CD-ROM is created, the information on it can not be changed.
