I’m feeling a lot more positive about stuff now I’ve made it this far. For those of you who have been keeping up to date with my posts - and for those that have, my sincerest thanks - you’ll know that I’ve massively been struggling with the changes the past 6 weeks: it’s affected my mental health loads and, along with living alone and the sorting of my home life, hasn’t been easy in the slightest. Now my home life is all sorted (I can now proudly say I am the sole owner of a lovely 3-bedroom, detached house with a garden, garage and double drive) and I can somewhat see the end of this horrific lockdown/working from home, I’m feeling a lot healthier and optimistic! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because I’ve wanted to have motivation to get out the house a bit more, alongside the satisfaction of completion, I’ve joined an online virtual challenge to walk 124.3 miles (200km) which is the same as The Ring of Kerry in Ireland. I haven’t really set myself a time limit to do this, but I’m wanting to get it done as quickly as I can. So far I’ve completed 4.9 miles but I’m planning on going walking later once the weather stops looking so unwelcoming outside - it’s rather hard to motivate yourself outdoors when the weather isn’t playing ball! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All in all, I’m feeling motivated, happy, optimistic and grateful. I’m probably not going to be posting much during half term but I shall update you guys on how it’s all gone when I go back to ‘work’ in 10 days time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As always, stay safe.

Through the teaching of this lesson and the provision of resources, I have learned several methods of project setting for the target group. The picture is a brainstorming class exercise, which tells me to classify users and how to think about their needs from the user's perspective. This exercise has been very helpful to me. I have produced a very careful thinking process and can modify and supplement in time through the table. It played a very guiding role in the parts I designed for different groups.
