She also did an awesome job in documenting the design process (17 total iterations in 3 weeks, I think) and in putting together and delivering a formal presentation. I’ll upload some associated files when I get a chance. Enjoy.

Very cool!
Me likie A LOT. This is very similar to EWCP’s latest iteration of this design:

Very cool. Also, I guess I’m just one of those weird high school kids who loves technical documentation. If you could post some of those formal pieces up that’d be cool.
