    I thought this 5 star project would be fun. Turns out it wasn’t, I encountered all sorts of downloading, copyright issues etc. I had to splice pictures in sequence, in an effort to try to tell a story from beginning to end (from taking the field to the final whistle).…

    Eventually after graduation I think I would have a card similar to this, without the fake information. It’s simple, bold  (if made on bonded paper with texture) and conveys what i am trying to convey. That is, I am not wasteful.
