2) Next,talk about why you chose your specific quote. Why is this quote significant to you? What inspired you to choose this quote?

3) For each idea have a title, thumbnail sketch, final digital design, PDF link and a paragraph describing your thinking process for the typeface, color palette, and composition.

4) You will have a total of 3 design ideas (2 type-based and 1 photo-based if you wish).
