Blog Entry # 3.3-Design Brief
I am going to design and make a cereal box that would reflect off a person that has honor to world history. Making a cereal box would appear different in a person head about a contributor. It would help a person understand more of a person then just probably looking it up . The cereal box would be flexible . It would move only if you pick it up ,rotate, & move it around . It isn't made out of heavy material , well it is but you have to be careful so you don't ruin your information . Meaning you should keep it out of a harmless place . This cereal box can be very useful to just not only you but others that's looking for a honor person that has a contribute to the world.
Blog Entry#3.2-Design Task
The design task has asked me working independently to design a cereal box honoring a person from World History. This person doesn't have to be Amercian or Canadian . The person I receive was Mansa Musa . My job is to find information about him and post it on my cereal box so it can be attractive and useful to others.

Gold symbolizes my person because Musa was kind with his gold and distribute to the poor . However it drew attention to the great wealth of the Mali Empire and also cemented his respect among the Arab world . But without looking at a little of the bad side this gold help Mali get stronger in their way with the trades of products that help them on a daily basic.
