1) First write a brief introduction to this assignment.

4) Then, upload a photograph of your final design (a digital drawing).
5) Lastly, write a paragraph under your final design that talks about how you created this final design. Some questions you can write about: Why does this ligature type work best for your initials? How does this ligature allow you to show something unique about yourself as a designer?
