scholarly journals A Drawing Formalistic Aspects in School and Higher Learning Institutions

This research aims to identify formalistic aspects (design elements and principals) generally incorporated in school curriculum and the Faculty of Art & Design curriculum in creating drawings. Formalistic aspects present in drawings will be contrasted against each other via a special test conducted to selected respondents of two different phases – prior and after university enrollment, which involved of 105 respondents. They were Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) candidates that have undergone interview test prior to the Faculty of Art & Design of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Kelantan Branch September intake. During the second phase which was done after university enrollment, the same respondents were recruited to participate in the evaluation of their drawing skill. Currently, all respondents are at their second (02) semester in four programs offered at UiTM. Based on the analysis done to drawings created in the First Phase (before) and the Second Phase (after) university enrollment, several discoveries were made pertaining to the incorporation of formalistic aspects in drawing creation. From the results, several suggestions were presented. It is hoped that this work will lead to the improvement of the current high school curriculum in general and the curriculum of the Faculty of Art & Design, in particular, in order to ensure that art is elevated to a higher level in the face of future challenges.

User interface design plays an important role in web design. Designing a user interface that satisfies the emotional needs of the users is essential as the user interface plays a crucial role in generating remarkable user experiences for websites. A poorly designed user interface leads to bad user interaction while raising the users’ arousal and a displeasing user experience with a website elicits dissatisfaction emotion where consecutively results in avoidance and prevents revisit to the website. A standard emotional based user interface web design would enhance user experience which will lead to success of a website. Kansei engineering which is a popular technique in transforming users’ feelings into product design is used in this research. This study tries to convert the feelings and emotions of users into design elements with the use of Kansei engineering technology in order to design an appropriate higher learning institution website by  identifying a standard web design that cultivates emotional engagement. A standard user interface web design guideline for the development of the higher learning institutions’ website has been proposed in this research.

This research presents a method of image encryption that has been designed based on the algorithm of complete shuffling, transformation of substitution box, and predicated image crypto-system. This proposed algorithm presents extra confusion in the first phase because of including an S-box based on using substitution by AES algorithm in encryption and its inverse in Decryption. In the second phase, shifting and rotation were used based on secrete key in each channel depending on the result from the chaotic map, 2D logistic map and the output was processed and used for the encryption algorithm. It is known from earlier studies that simple encryption of images based on the scheme of shuffling is insecure in the face of chosen cipher text attacks. Later, an extended algorithm has been projected. This algorithm performs well against chosen cipher text attacks. In addition, the proposed approach was analyzed for NPCR, UACI (Unified Average Changing Intensity), and Entropy analysis for determining its strength.
