Week 12: Finish up the book with the animations and put the linking. Try to finish by Week 13.
Week 13: Adjust home button placement, and try for an icon instead
Reflect
Experience
Week 11; I'm feeling extremely stressed with the amount of work. Week 12; I've lowered the workload by a small amount but I feel like I'm not putting enough energy into the final project because I'm diverting my attention to other assignments. Week 13; Feels good to be done with this project.
Observation
Week 11; It's very hard to think creatively. Week 12; I think I could do better. Week 13; With work done, I feel relieved and can divert my time to other assignments.
Findings
Week 11; When I'm stressed, I start to tunnel vision on ideas or just can't generate ideas at all. Week 12; It's demotivating when I feel like I could do more but feel like I don't have time for it. Week 13; With less work, means less stress, means more relaxed work.

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.
