2. Next week we will look at your two designs and decide which one you can move forward with.

3. Also think about which tools you will be using to create your work. 

As an example: Say you are doing a political poster and you want to get the colors correct, you can create a custom color pallet by bringing a photo into the program, expanding it then save the colors as a custom swatch in the library.
