Week 2 Homework - Rough edit of major and minor tasks

 This week your focus is to create rough edit / mock-up's of your major tasks. 

This is due on Friday next week, for feedback and requires the following;

- at least 1 after effect included 

- all chosen photographs included in your digipack layout 

- all chosen photographs included in your social media layout 

The more edited and finalised, the better however it is a rough draft of evefrything, for fedback so no need for it to be 100% completed. Room for improvement is good. 

All the best! :)
