Today, I continue on the analysis of process written document focusing on the "Creating the book" part.
"Creating the book
The steps I manage in this part are; deciding the words and information, finding pictures/templates as the background for the pages, editing into a format of a picture with photoscape, and printing it. I believe it is important to start by deciding the kind of information and words that I want to include in the book so that I could arrange and divide them in an organize way. The topics that I choose for the food and drinks part include; “Food balance”, “Healthy eating”, “Junk food”, “Types of hunger”, “Developing healthy eating habits”, “Nutrition for teens”, “Vitamins and minerals”, “What to eat?”, “Snacking”, “List of menus”, “Simple ways to prepare food and drinks”, and “Diet”. The topics that I choose for the sports part includes; “Sports”, “Nutrition for athletes”, “Diet for athletes”, “Drinking for athletes”, “Supplement for athletes”, “Game day”, “Types of exercises”, and “Picking the right sport”. Other than those two sub topics, I also include “sleeping” as the bridge of the two topics. I also believe that having pictures and templates will help me when I am designing each page so that it is interesting to read."
So, here's just a draft of how it would look later on..

written document..
Moving forward, I decided to continue the analysis of process written document. What I focus on doing today is on the "Building the content" part.
"Building the content
In the process of filling in the content of the book, I started by gathering all the information about healthy life from newspaper, video, interview, book, magazine, and website. After finish researching, I realize that I use website most because it is more useful, open source, and provides wider range of information. A difficulty occurs when I found out too many information that is interesting but then, I just go with the flow and see how many pages I could make out of it. Other than deciding the amount of pages, I found difficulty with deciding which topic goes first. Since the beginning, I decided to split out the book into three parts: food and drinks, sports, and fun activities. Throughout the process, it does not happen as so. I have no time to work at the fun activities part so that the book only have the content of food, drinks and sports. Just looking at the big picture does not help me at all. Therefore, I decide to find interesting and useful topics through my research. A difficulty occur when I try to find guidebook samples that really focus only for teenage life. By that way, I decided to buy books not only focusing on teens but also family. Other than books about healthy life, I also bought one about beauty. I know it does not have any connection to my topic but I want to see how the content is displayed.
For the first part of the book, the information is gathered from newspaper called “Saji”, survey through facebook, book called “Menu Sehat Sesuai Golongan Darah”, magazine called “Sastika fit”, and several websites. The reason behind using facebook as a source to distribute the survey is because more people can answer them. For the second part, the information is gathered from interview with a coach and several websites. I choose a coach as my resource because coaches know and experience more about sports, they do sport for themselves and they know what is good and bad for them. Specifically for the topic about sleeping, I use a video called “Dr. Breus on Teens and Sleep Deprivation” from You Tube as a source for me.
After all, the information that I have collected is organized in a form of research note. I make summary of them all and select different information is suitable to be included in the book."
So, yeah.. that's for now (note that this is still a rough draft)

Edits on written document
Today, I decided to start of doing a little bit of the analysis of process. What I focus on doing today is on the investigation part.
"Investigation
To start with, I create a survey to teenagers aged 13 – 17 years old, in order to find out what to put in my book later on. I think this is an effective research method because it makes me easier to decide what my goal is. After analyzing the data I have collected, I found out that most of them have the knowledge to live a healthy life; it is just the matter of applying it. From knowing this, I decided to continue on the progress of investigating through research so that I could remind the target audience the importance of having a healthy life.
I also did some investigation about the format that I choose. When I decide to create a book, I am not sure how to make it interesting. With the survey asking about the content, I also attach several questions asking about the format. After analyzing the data, I found out that most of them want it to be colorful, use pictures and have modern style design. It is not enough for me only fulfilling what the target audience wants but I also need to do further research about how to make a good book. Furthermore, I also need to see guidebook samples and make judgment on software’s that would be best in creating the book. What I choose in the end is to make a book using photoscape as the software to edit everything."
This is just a rough draft of how it would turn out later on.

up dates from yesterday..
Yesterday afternoon, I went to a printing center somewhere in Bogor. The name of the place is Oke Print. I save the file of my book in a USB and ask the help of the one who guide the place to print the book. The result of the book turns out good. Not only printing but I also bind it there and make it into a book. I spend in total of Rp.86.500,- for the printing.
For the result, I succeed in allying the feedback that I got form my supervisor which is to have clear fonts.
Next, I need to continue on making the survey questions and present it.
