Books recommended for final project

I've read these 2 books and found that they're extremely interesting and useful for the final project of Don.

1. Visual Creativity: written by Mario Pticken. This book, with 817 illustrations and 794 of them in color, is intended for creatives in the following fields: advertising and marketing, photography, game design and development, cartoons and non-stop animation, new media, architecture, etc. I think by reading this book, you can strengthen your imaginary skills as well as be able to use these skills to develop your own stories and sequences.

2. >on screen> in time: transitions in motion graphic design for film, television and new media: written by Melanie Goux and James A.Houff. The transitions, images and text changing from one to another over time, play a big role in motion graphic design. This book offers audiences more refined and thoughtful transitions and why the artists in this book chose these kinds of transitions. Through interviews and images, readers can explore the life and work of 16 highly regarded motion graphic designers.

A sunny day in countryside

The song is created based on the idea of a sheep walking around his farm and feeling so good and he's trying to find some sunflowers for that beautiful day. Actually, it almost fits what I was thinking in my mind. Funky and funny rhythms play on a countryside atmosphere. I think the title "A sunny day in countryside" is suitable for the song, do you think so?
Let's enjoy it!
