4/1/2021: First Text Effect Summary
It took me 6 weeks to finish this project. I’m happy with it, but what I could of done is, I should at least skip one of the steps if it was considered optional, and thought about what was easier creating the components if I got stuck. This would I have made my project so …

This is my image of the Coco’s Fine Handmade Chocolates. Building the image was somewhat easy, but pretty hard because I didn’t pay attention to some details, understand what the step is trying to instruct me to do, and understand some of the components.
