Remember to apply design principles in your work. 4. Final outcome must be accompanied by 150-200 words. The   place I wanted to create was the sea at night where I used to go a lot with my friends.

Sketches Fig.1.1 Layout sketches (2/10/2022) These are the sketches that I came up with. I chose "Follow The Code" texts because when I saw the title, I thought I could create some interesting layouts using arrows.
