Images for Assignment # 2

Assignment # 2

For this assignment we had to come up with a concept to represent obituaries in a new way.

We need a concept, a full page explanation on why it would work and lastly 1 or 2 sketches of our idea.

We had three choices either to make this concept based on 1 person, a concept based on a town, or lastly a concept based on the entire united states.
