1 image with a solid color background, 1 image with a picture for a background, 1 screenshots, total of 3 images due
Select an image that is larger than 3000 pixels and a clear side view of an animal. Create a list of words that describe your animal at least 14 words which will be placed inside the animal. Add final image to a solid background and an image that relates to your animal or object. Use font that is easy to read and fonts that relate to each other and have fun with color!
