Issues covered/Response from advisor:

• based on peer review, updated the wireframe and mockup thesis book pages to have easier to read numbered sections

Goals for next week:

• take a break!

Goals:

• set up complete task flows for my functional prototype
• figure out PhoneGap and getting a rough version of my application to my phone or use the web app method with an icon on the home screen
• make changes to prototypes based off of click through testing

Goals for next week:

• set up complete task flows for my functional prototype
• figure out PhoneGap and getting a rough version of my application to my phone
• make changes to prototypes based off of click through testing
• finalize all of my visual design related pages for my thesis book

Goals:
