✓ Nice job on your photos, needs and diagrams! I especially like your observations of the challenges each person faces.
Regarding your observations about person #4, very few students point out that it's very easy to let the volume of a player gradually increase over time, leading to excessive volume that the listener is rather unaware of. Good job pointing that out!
Regarding diagram #1, nice job on your sketches: even though they're simple, they really do help communicate your ideas. I like your metaphor as well: nice job finding a similar concept in an area not associated with biking, music or devices.
Regarding diagram #2, there are fewer sketches here, which diminishes the impact of your ideas, so keep that in mind for the future. Also, your metaphor doesn't directly address a particular product or concept, so I can't "latch" onto it the same way as with the previous metaphor. Good job overall!
