For my project theme my topic is France and the colonisation of Francophone West African countries. My aim for my final outcome is to create a film to educate people; possibly a powerpoint too so that my film isn't too long. My outcome prototype I plan to make during this week is creating my own physical version of a currency from Guinea called Guinean Franc (Syli) as there is a lot of history behind it that not many people know about due to the fact that the story behind it has been scrubbed from the internet and hidden from the media. For my project I want to use fabrics, paint and chalk to achieve what I have in mind.

After careful consideration, I selected a verse from the song "Rain on Me" by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, drawn to its reflection on how weather can impact one's mood—an aspect I aimed to include in my final outcome. My project took the form of a leaflet, intended to explain how the weather affects your mood.

Notably, the printed colors did not quite capture the desired pastel effect that I had on Illustrator, diverting from the aesthetic I had envisioned. I feel my final outcome was too basic, however, given the two-week timeframe and my emphasis on documenting the developmental process, I refrained from dwelling on what I could have done...
