The student has been working on their adventure project proposal and production. They created pixel art characters for their video game and took photos for advertisements. They struggled with writing the proposal at first but were able to complete it. For production, the student finished character designs, created a magazine cover and game menu screen that they were proud of. Their next steps are making more music and a second advertisement.
