[After Feedback]
- Final developments for Project 2B
- Brief for final project (animation)

- After feedback in class, I was told to emphasis my focal point [photography]; which in my case would be the little girl running in the field - too bring more attention to the photography aspect rather than the illustrated flowers surrounding her.

Final developments for Project 2B
