Paper diary
I had a really great news. It will be delivered to me by middle of April. But it will be hand-made, so it’s not going be ridiculous amount of number. I am thinking about around 20~30 diaries. But I will definitely decide when I get the specific price. Anyway, I feel great that everything is going well!
User Testing
Because my project has two different media, I would also need two different user tests. My target audience is a person who is in 20’s, especially female student or carrier woman. After fixing the error of the web version, I will invite 4~5 women and ask them to first be the user of the site and second be the reader of the site. After they use it for about 30 minutes, I’m going to give the survey...

Diary
Have to check if I can get them in 2 weeks. If not, I have to make the mockup for the presentation. Ah…tired.
Today @ 11pm
WBC(World Baseball Classic) that nobody cares but I care happens again. And again we are battling with Japan. Hope they play a GREAT game, so that people pay attention to it more.
So many media in US say that WBC is the waste of time and it makes MLB players injured. Well…MLB made it to prove what(?), and now are you saying that this is waste of time? Hey! Deal with it-
Harder than thought
Finding a person to help me with Indesign or Quark for the diary is a lot harder than I thought. A financial reason is the biggest problem. And the coding part is not done yet, so it’s kind of hard for me to focus on one thing at a time.
Hopefully, I can finish by March so that I can focus on using & minor fixing for April.

Look&Feel + Flow
First page
If you choose “Reader”, then you will go to the main page
If you click any one of the days, you will go to the page of that day you clicked.
If you had chosen “Jain”(which is…myself), you are going to login and then admin page.
I am still working on the flow to have a easier and simpler process. But it will basically look like the one above.
Thesis - Concept/Project Description
Thesis - Concept/Project Description Overview / Thesis Statement Who decides the special days of my life? My project deals with two diaries of my life: one for the web and the other one for the real world. The stories online are often judged by how many comments they get from readers.

Thesis - Personal Statement
Many blogs and web applications now allow people to broadcast their lives. Many people have at least 3 different web application to take care of.

Because of the time difference, physical distance, and maybe just because of the lazyness, people use this to connect with more people without making time to meet them in person. The...

The things that foreign countries’ reporters or media often picture about korean internet culture is that the government wants to make all the barriers so that people can’t see outside of the world.
