'Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.'

2. Use at least 3 Bridgeman images as part of your final design.*
*You may use elements from your inspiration work, but it cannot count as one of the three required. Additionally, you may use your own proprietary design elements or illustrations in your work.
