Objective: You are to choose one song from the list below, appreciate the song, hear it through and understand the lyrics. You are then required to sketch initial ideas , figure out storyline, illustrate and compose and animate a ‘moment’ base of your understanding from the chosen song.

Then songs list are as below:
- Fly me to the moon
- The way you look tonight
- Come fly with me
- Girl from Ipanema
- New York, New York
And I chose fly me to the moon as the song I express
This song is romantic and deeply in love, and I chose minimalist art to express the album cover
I was inspired by the lyrics,
'Fill my heart with song', So I drew a boy who plays and sings on his guitar,

The inspiration of the musical instrument came from this music video, I think it's more romantic to play this song on guitar
Guitar riffs do a better job of showing the narrative of the song
I think this song is for a loved one.
I want to interpret the feeling of
'As he sings and guitars, their consciousness flies to the moon together'
After that, I made some changes for the initial artwork, because its not creative enough

I make the moon as the vinyl record player
I want to interpret is ' the song we play, moon will remember for us'
