Final final problem/purpose statement

This is my final final problem/purpose statment...

Because the previous one got rejected =[

So I change my way and go for MALL restroom...and it got accepted!!=] hurray!!


Problem Statement: Shoppers who wait in lines for the restrooms at Westfield Downtown, may not be aware that there are in fact stalls available, or that there are other restrooms nearby on other floors, creating long lines of frustrated patrons.
Purpose Statement: The purpose of this research was to develop an information system for restroom users of availability and access.

Problem Statement

I am glad that the topic that I want to do the most was accepted. However, there was minor mistakes and I struggled to restructure my problem statement.

Here is the statement that I have restructured:

Graffiti
Problem Statement: Subway and Tunnel have always been targeted by urban artists to create art, thereby creating an image of vandalism associating with graffiti.
Purpose statement: The purpose of this research was to examine methods to detract urban artists from vandalism and inform them other ways to create art.


And thanks for the classmates for giving me a lot of ideas and helping me to rephrase it=]

Intro

My name is Estela Choi. I came from Macau when I was a 12. I attend to City College after graduated from high school, then transferred to San Francisco State University with a major of DAI Interdisciplinary. I find my self interested in a lot of stuff such as designing poster, business card, webiste, etc. I usually inspired and amaze by a lot of different style or trend. But Nigo, the designer of A Bathing Ape from Japan is probably one of my favorite designer and style that I think I am going to achieve. Because I really want to have my own brand like Nigo does. And I am going to graduate after this semester, I want to get a job in any design firm to gain more experiences and improve my skill and network within the industry. I think six words to describe me can be: creative, open-minded, willing to learn, elaborative, responsible, hot-headed.
