Experience
Week 10: It's interesting to have this experience working with a "client" and at the same time doing it with another person. Week 11; I felt stuck on ideas especially trying to work with a group mate. Week 12; I felt that we were spending too much time on small aspect of the packaging when there was a lot more work to do. Week 13; I struggled a lot this week because the packaging design wasn't what the client's expected which built a lot of stress. Week 14; Feels good to finally be done with this project.
Observation
Week 10; I saw the other projects that my classmates had which was quite interesting. Week 11; I saw that when people have two different ideas its quite hard and aggravating when it comes to working it out. Week 12; I saw that a lot of my classmates had a lot of progress in comparison to my work. Week 13; I saw that people used mockups they had already found which was different to me because I had to create my own mockup due to the box not existing. Week 14; I saw that people had begun slowing down on this project as we had caught up with their work.

Findings
Week 10; I found working with clients an interesting experience. Week 11; I found that looking to references is a good idea when stuck. Week 12; I found myself falling behind due to other projects taking priority. Week 13; I found that once my work was reduced, I could relax and focus a lot better. Week 14; I find working with group mates in this setting of online hard because it's hard to get a point across sometimes.

Fig 1: The Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects by Marshal McLuhan & Quentin Fiore
I had picked up this book as I was looking around my brothers room. I looked at it because it was a very eye catching design. The meaning of the book is placing the important about the power of the medium rather than the content itself. It's a very interesting read as it's quite dated but the view of Marshall McLuhan can still be applied today.
