**City Planner**

Hi Natasha,

First of all, I love your concept of the project, “city planner”. It is very interesting see that how the city transportation planning influence on pollution, taxes, travel time, development. I also like how you present the result of the investigation on different transportation system. I have to say that I am so impressed with the quality of your graphic design. It looks so professional. . Well, I can’t imagine how much effort and many hours and you spent get all the function working properly. Just amazing!

The only thing that I would like to suggest is examples of city planning. It would be nice to have couple of examples that shows the result of city planning such as bike friendly city with numerous parks vs car dominated city with heavy pollution and traffic. If the examples provided, the user can easily vision how the investigation on different transportation influences the outcome of city planning.

**Sewing 101**

Hi Sabrina,

Ever since I saw my mom making curtains for the new house when I was in elementary school, I always wanted to learn how to make something with sewing machine. But, I have not had the patient or time to sit down and learn different skills and etc. I think that your project will be helpful for the most of people who interested in it like me in a very fun and enjoyable way. You have a very nice and stylish frame for your site. The color scheme, the font is well fitted to your project. I also like the cute icon that you added to each menu. Overall, I think that you have created very good comprehensive sewing site that covers basic information about sewing and provide useful information. In addition, I can see that you will provide the example of making a laptop case.

Here are my suggestions for your project.

1. In the section of meet you sewing machine, it would be nice to have the name of part shows in the first sewing machine picture. I think that it will give the user clearer idea of where they need to mouse over.
2. In the section of words to know, it would be nice to change the color of the alphabet when the user mouse over it.

**2013 Workplace Revolution**

Hi! I-Yung

How is your project going? I just can’t believe that we have only 6 days for the showcase! How time flies!

Well, I supposed to give you the deskcrit earlier, but I couldn’t find the link to your project from your PM site. Since you have had changed the client at the last phase of the class, I am sure that it is not easy to manage it (I have been there). Anyway, I am writing the deskcrit based on what I remember from the dress rehearsal night.

First of all, I really like the concept of your project that bridge the generation gap and help different generation employees work well together. It is very interesting topic and definitely necessary in today’s business world.

During the dress rehearsal night, I have enjoyed to see how you will integrate the learning model for your project and make the actual product. I think that you have a very good flow to follow for user.

**Beginning Knitting Quiz**

Hi Carrie,

I am sorry for the late deskcrit. Hope it helps even though it is the last minute feedback.
Let me briefly mention about the following aspect of the project.

-Overall design & Aesthetics- You have a very appealing and stylish frame for your site. The color scheme, the font is well fitted to your project.

-Organization & Appropriate Use of Media- It is concise and informative. Also, the feedback is appropriate.

I like that you provide the result of the quiz so that people can compare their score to the others.
The Only thing that I would suggest, it would be nice to have more detailed feedback with pictures or video for wrong answers. I think that it will give users more interaction and motivates them to learn more about knitting.

I am looking forward to seeing your final project on Showcase!
