In week 2, we have to complete Literature review in Google spreadsheet to get a ideas about Subheaders that can be used for Dissertation, but my work I completed has a lot of mistakes that should be fixed.

After I read again whole document and draw maekwers to find the main ideas to find out the research theme and Keywords (some documents alread provided them) and here is the Literature review according to the all of requirement shown below.

Since I completed all mu literature reviews, I am now going to write a short draft work for my dissertation. Once I collect all my keywords I made by my own, I finally collect all draft subleaders draft work to plan my future work of draft working before week 7. Here are all the subleaders I’ve got.

I used the word counter to find out words that repeats itself in the document (This is called "Keyword Density" in word count, word Counter Every Word Counts, https://wordcounter.net/.) to find out core idea so I can expand my idea so much, additionally, I can use all these subheaders in my work, this is because some subleaders may have similar/same topics and there is also order of importance of research depends on the relationship to the my main research dissertation, I start to summarize all of my subheaders for my draft work.

※(Characteristics, Personalities, Other psychological information)

These are my current subheaders or my Visual research dissertation, I organised some of them to combine similar topics for draft work so The draft work become much easier and comfortable to research.

As you may already notice, My main topics for further research is goimg to be about "Process of character design", "Character design elements" and "Player's identification themselves with video game characters", luckly, these topics are already found from the documents that I already read from the document that I already used for my visual research in term 2, therefore I am already ready to start draft drawing.
