This assignment requires time, a minimum 8 hours-work. Avoid turning in an assignment done in one day or in a few hours, you won’t get a passing grade. I am not looking for amazing craftsmanship but for effort, thought and a creative idea, as well as a good record of the making of the piece, good photography, and good organization.
It has to be something invented, not from the internet.
Something simple, beautiful and created by imagination, not something copied from the internet or from some image. It can be something on pen and ink I think is more easier or something like that.
Here are some examples on files.
