NN : As it was already the 4th year of my self education I decided it is time to check whether all of this worth it time and money. It was like a final project to get my degree. I tried to choose something that will be good design on one hand, and something TA would be interested in.
NN : I learned to work with the smallest details in my design, something we forget about while thinking about big picture, but I did care about every rubber thing I have in this design, every curve of each element .
