Abstract

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has profoundly transformed digital content creation, particularly in enhancing efficiency and supporting creativity. This study investigates the impact of AI technologies, such as GPT-4, DALL·E, and Synthesia, on the efficiency and creativity of professionals in the digital media industry. Using a mixed-methods design, the research integrates quantitative surveys from 300 content creators with in-depth interviews of 20 industry experts to assess how AI tools influence productivity, originality, and user satisfaction. This study adopts an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, where quantitative survey findings guide the development of qualitative interview themes. The integration occurs during the interpretation stage, allowing for triangulation that connects statistical trends in AI use (e.g., increased efficiency and creativity) with deeper contextual insights from professionals’ lived experiences, ethical reflections, and design adaptations. Quantitative data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, and regression analysis, while qualitative data were processed using thematic analysis. The results reveal that AI integration reduces average content production time by 45%, significantly enhancing workflow speed in graphic design, writing, and video editing. Additionally, 72% of respondents reported that AI assists in creative idea exploration, while 28% expressed concerns about diminished originality. Regression analysis indicates a positive correlation between AI usage intensity and perceived creativity, suggesting AI enhances, but does not replace, human innovation. This study contributes to the growing discourse on AI in creative industries by offering empirical insights into its dual role as both a productivity booster and a creative assistant. It underscores the importance of positioning AI as a collaborative tool that complements rather than supplants human creativity. The findings offer implications for designers, developers, and policymakers in fostering ethical, inclusive, and human-centered AI integration in content creation.

Abstract

The urgency of ecological sustainability in contemporary interior architecture has intensified due to global environmental challenges and resource depletion. Workspaces significantly contribute to energy consumption, carbon emissions, and material waste, requiring a shift from linear consumption to regenerative, circular practices. This study introduces a Circular Interior Design Strategies Framework that extends beyond conventional certifications (e.g., LEED, BREEAM) by integrating four interdependent pillars: material recirculation, modular adaptability, biophilic integration, and lifecycle-driven decision-making. A qualitative descriptive methodology combining systematic literature review, case-study analysis, and expert validation was employed. Findings demonstrate that adaptive reuse can reduce embodied carbon by 40–70 percent while preserving cultural identity and spatial integrity. The proposed framework clarifies how interior design operationalizes circular economy principles at the design stage rather than post-construction assessment. This study provides a structured framework for designers and policymakers to implement circular strategies effectively, positioning interior design as a proactive agent in sustainable workplace transformation.

Abstract

In the digital learning era, user engagement is shaped not only by functionality and aesthetics but also by how interfaces adapt to users’ emotional experiences. While gamified learning environments have become common, few designs systematically integrate affective computing principles to support real-time emotional adaptation. This study proposes an Affective UX Model that combines affective computing with user experience (UX) design to enhance emotional engagement in gamified educational interfaces. The research aims to explore how emotionally adaptive features can be designed, implemented, and evaluated within a learning context. Using a user-centered design (UCD) approach, the study employed mixed methods, including visual storytelling, interactive prototyping, and affective mapping via self-report measures and biometric tracking (facial expressions and heart rate variability). A gamified language-learning prototype was tested with 30 adolescent participants (aged 15–18) through usability and emotional response evaluations. Results show that empathetic avatars, responsive feedback, and adaptive difficulty adjustments significantly increased motivation, engagement, and emotional comfort. Participants reported a stronger sense of connection when system feedback matched their affective State and performance. The study contributes a validated conceptual framework for designing emotionally intelligent, human-centered educational interfaces, emphasizing how affective adaptivity enhances the quality of user experience and learning outcomes. The findings demonstrate that dynamic emotional adaptation can redefine engagement and inform future directions in emotionally responsive design research.

Abstract

Recent shifts in digital communication have transformed how sustainability is visually framed and communicated to the public. Rather than relying on traditional environmental campaigns, eco-influencers now use short-form video content on platforms like Instagram Reels to convey persuasive sustainability narratives. This study explores how visual rhetoric operates in these Reels-based campaigns to shape audience perceptions of environmental responsibility. Employing a mixed-methods approach that integrates semiotic analysis with audience reception research, this paper analyzes selected Instagram Reels produced by prominent Southeast Asian eco-influencers. The study identifies recurring patterns in visual symbolism, aesthetic presentation, and narrative framing that enhance the persuasive impact of these videos. Key semiotic elements such as symbolic color palettes, natural imagery, and expressive gestures were found to heighten emotional engagement and clarity of message. Findings from the audience survey reveal that viewers respond more positively to sustainability messages presented through authentic, aspirational storytelling rather than overtly moralistic appeals. This study is among the first to examine eco-influencers’ short-form video rhetoric within Southeast Asian cultural contexts, addressing a gap in current green marketing and visual communication literature. By focusing on the intersection of visual persuasion, influencer marketing, and short-form digital content, the research contributes a design-oriented perspective to environmental communication studies. It positions eco-influencers as visual rhetoricians who transform sustainability into an experiential, algorithm-driven form of digital storytelling.

Abstract

The growing global emphasis on patient-centered care highlights a persistent gap in healthcare design: clinical environments often remain sterile and stress-inducing, undermining psychological recovery. This study introduces a human-centered, multisensory interior design framework that integrates sensory experience as a therapeutic variable rather than an aesthetic supplement. Unlike previous evidence-based or biophilic design studies that examine isolated sensory factors, this research validates an integrated multisensory model through mixed-method investigation. The study combines a systematic literature review, expert consultations with architects, designers, and healthcare professionals, and a quasi-experimental case study across three hospital wards implementing sensory-based interventions. Findings indicate that deliberately orchestrating visual, auditory, tactile, and olfactory stimuli significantly reduces patient anxiety, enhances perceived comfort, and improves staff well-being. Statistical results (paired t-tests and ANOVA) corroborate these effects, with measurable physiological and perceptual outcomes. The proposed framework translates these insights into actionable design strategies that align aesthetics with therapeutic evidence. This research advances interior architecture scholarship by bridging neuroscience, environmental psychology, and design practice, positioning multisensory design as a restorative paradigm for future healthcare environments.
