You can change the title and concept that you used in the checklist portion of this.
Feel free to make yourself the artist or part of the group.
You will need to take at least one digital photo for the cover.
We can shoot this in our studio using a white backdrop or we can shoot at a location around school. You could also take the photo away from school. You could also use photos that you already have but you must take at least one new photo for this assignments.
