For my first project, I decided to do my own album cover because I love music and I found it really cool to be able to base my album off my own photo and be able to express the feelings and meaning behind it. I used both Photoshop and Canva to add different graphics and fonts on the cover, I also edited the photo a bit in light room. I think it turned out really well, and the colors all contrast well with each other. My advice would be to do something that really resonates with you.
For the second project I chose to do my very own logo, to use for my own clothing Instagram account, where I sell a variety of different clothing, men and women's'. For this one I used Canva for the graphic and text. I think it turned out really simple and clean. My advice would be to keep it simple.
