I really excited about my project, because when I arrived at the USA in the first time, I am afraid of all things that I will face to. I think my project will help international student to use non-cash payment. Because when you buy something you should use cards, which is an essential thing for international students. My pamphlet will introduce the non-cash payment in the US, and there are some tips for them. I hope I can help them, and let them feel they are not alone in the US.

As far as I am concerned, I am more concerned with the attributes of the information than the channels of information, and then decide the channels and processing methods. As far as daily life is concerned, my information is roughly divided into professional information and extended information.  I am worried that if the professional information I get online is outdated, which is hard to select information.

For design my pamphlet, I want to make it look clear and the design is simple, but I really want to appeal to people.

I want to use my major knowledge and use graphic design to make my pamphlet, which can help many international students to learn non-cash payment in advance. I want to let me know I can finish this project by myself, even I am a shy person and I dare do some interviews with others. It is a challenger for me. But for almost of international students, studying abroad is a huge challenge for us, and we will overcome many troubles. 

First of all, I am a international student, keep doing this project can improve my English. Because I should do some interviews that I need talk with local people to get more information. Secondly, it improves my logical thinking ability and organizational ability, because this topic is planned by me, and I need to consider every step. It also improves my ability to solve problems. I may encounter some difficulties in this process. I should consider and be prepared to face difficulties in advance.

I think the reason why my project goes in the ditch is that my information is not useful for international students. I need select the most useful information that international students really care about. If I select all information are about how non-cash payment works, which will be boring and others are not willing to read. 

I am a international students, when I want to get more information about the non-cash payment, I can ask local people for help, like my roommates are American. I could ask them how non-cash payment works in our life, due to they are users and they will have more suggestions or using tips, which are useful information for my project. I should organized those information for my pamphlet.
