Proposal - Week 2

Ms Jinchi advised that I should to describe the participants clearly in terms of age group and research on why I've chosen this specific age group. It was also suggested that I should figure out how to define the significance of illustration; would it be reliant on its importance, impact, message delivery, or attractiveness etc. Otherwise, I needed to cite my proposal with the necessary references.
