2.    How did you feel?

·         Every time when I volunteer my money I feel good but sometime, I don’t know where is my money goes or it would be useful for others or that person just lie to me to get money, I feel a little bit worry.

1.ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR

2. TRUST

1.ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR

 The feeling
 I feel very uncomfortable because we have to stand very close and have to with each other hands. When I look at friend's eyes that make me feel more uncomfortable.









The feeling
 I feel uncomfortable because we have to stand very close and we are not close friend. Sometime I laugh but I dont know why. 

2. TRUST

The feeling
 I more comfortable than above because we have to stand not too close but  still I laugh without cause.





The feeling
 I feel comfortable with this one because we stand quite far and I cant see friend's eyes obviously but still laugh sometime.







From the activities in class, I a bit wonder that "why we feel uncomfortable we will move" and that's true. We always move when we feel uncomfortable or shy. I did a little bit of research about why we feel uncomfortable when we look at someone eyes and find that almost everyone is the same. Here is some opinions about it that i found in Answer Yahoo. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071003131535AABswVc

This is a video about eye contact during a job interview. It is a fun video but it's true!! The lady answers the question but her eyes didn't look at the interviwer. She just look around and answer and that is many people do when they be in the situation that we have to talk to someone that we are not familar with.

Answer the following questions as succinctly as possible in your own words

1. What is the major benefit of saving time?

2. How do designers integrate time into their products?

·         For the example from the book, Apple’s iPod shuffle. It has no display so when you want to listen to music, you don’t have to worry about the playlists because you cant see it. You just pass the bottom and let it random.

3. Explain the relationship between making waiting shorter with making waiting more tolerable

·         The quality of waiting

4. How can you use your timeline to increase your own efficiency as a designer?

·         Use the timeline to manage your time and planning your work. Thinking about what you have to do first, what are the most important things you have to do, and what you don’t need to do. 

5. Briefly outline an event or activity in which you are adept at time saving?

·         Housework like cleaning and cooking.

6. What part of your design/multimedia process do you need to improve at, in terms of saving time?

This video is a very good definition of  branding. It explained "what is brand" and "What isn't brand". Brand was explained by not many sentences and use pictures to help to explain and that make it's very easy to understand. From study in class, this video make me understand more clear. I found many videos about brand but it's hard to understand because it comes with the speaker and it is not clear but this video is not hard for me to understand and it's good for the starter.
