the pop/rock girls.

attention.
Different use of effect for the main image

how the this generation is standing out and showing their
new talent in different forms
The main image pose is a very dreamy look as the main
theme is a fairytale dream coming to life.
The text which I have used is very chatty and informal to
make the audience have that lively effect as if it was the
person her/his self taking to them
