What's Your Idea?

Post some evidence of your CREATIVE PROCESS to your blog, by answering these questions about your work:

1. What is your "theme" or overall idea behind the  design?

2. What are the visual "clues" in your design that relate to Senegal or the program?

3. Post three or more images of your brainstorming process...... a "brainstorm map", or source images... or more...

4. Post what you have designed so far.....
