TUTORIAL DISCUSSION


Today's discussion with Jane was quite beneficial. I have updated her with my lastest ideas and she is quite happy with the concept and direction i have taken.
She mentioned to me to start communicating my some ideas as basic as possible.. also to start compiling board ideas for final presentation.

At this point of time i feel i am on track to completing the design.. Yet there is still a way to go!!
