How did your projects turn out?
What were some of your reflections on the Project? What did you learn? What was surprising?

- HCI/d and UXD?
- Design in general and Design Thinking in particular (tactical and strategic)?
- Formatting and Layout?

Malcolm Gladwell "The Stickiness Factor"
http://malcolmgladwelltippingpoint.wikispaces.com/The+Stickiness+Factor
"The specific quality that a message needs to be successful is the quality of 'stickiness.' Is the message-or the food, or the movie, or the product-memorable? Is it so memorable, in fact, that it can create change, that it can spur someone to action?"
The Stickiness factor involves how effective an idea or product stays in the mind of the potential viewer or consumer. We take for granted many of things that we see or experience throughout the day, but subconsciously they have a large effect on us. Someone somewhere engineered external stimuli in order to to impact us.
