Design: Album Cover

       This is my design task. Me and My class has been asked to create a new album cover for Konecs, Diamond Lani X JAY BLACK and their song “Uisa Ta Koe Fakapo.” We had to think about all of the things we have learnt about Tongan culture this week and what would be important to include on the cover.
