I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. To help you, I will sum up here the main steps you need to follow to complete your project. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It would be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell me if you have any doubts.

Remember that the forum is also a great place for inspiration and meeting like-minded creatives, so don't hesitate to comment on other people's projects and ask for feedback. See you soon!”
