The Assignment: I actually realized after completing this assignment that it was a design assignment, of which I have already done this section. But since I was inspired by Takuji and Yuka‘s posts, I did it anyway. The instructions are as follows: Take any person, thing, or animal and apply a cartoon character head to it. Be creative!

For the design assignment, I chose to do The Big Hip Hop by Tim Owens, which requires taking a photo from The Big Picture website and overlaying it with text from a Top 100 song.

I wanted the lyrics and the format of the text to be bold, like this woman’s statement.
