  What’cha been up to?  It's already week 5 of the semester?! Wow. A lot has happened for the past few weeks in Capstone. We've started getting into the designing phase of our projects, while  also continuing research and exploring more of visuals. I'm excited and kind of nervous.

There’s a reason why we humans are able to remember some stories/ideas so well, and forget the rest. The book had mentioned that including sensory and concrete details is what helps mak...
