The project is a collage of objects, including a writing journal, a pen, globes, a number, a flower, and a padlock. The challenge in this lesson is to arrange these elements, each of which is part of a multi-image scan. The "ideal" composition is a judgment call, so this lesson won't describe precise locations. There are no "right" or "wrong" placements of the objects.
