Pre-Composition #1	Final Composition
Description: In comparison, the final composition has evolved to have a more centered focus. I applied the white space technique to incorporate the changes suggested by my lecturer, Mr. Fauzi. Additionally, I moved the picture of the woman in the gray shirt cartoon to a more central position, emphasizing her as the main character, with her eyes aligning with the rule of thirds.
