Design 3
At first, I didn’t have any specific ideas in mind. So, I looked through magazines and just cut out pictures that I liked, most of which had a lot of blue in them. After gathering all the elements, I began Since many of the images I chose were blue, it made it easier to create a harmonious overall look.

Mr Fauzi chose the third design for me, then I remained the 2 character and change the back elements to buildings and add a toy on the front as my final design.
