'Why Small Victories Matter.'

My idea for this article, which is about overcoming big challenges by completing small tasks can be most rewarding. 

I chose to take the 'v for victory' sign and put the hands together to create a star, because stars are a symbol  and given for achievement. The background was painted using gouache and a photograph of the hands were rotated and changed using photoshop. I'm very pleased with the result, particularly since I've not used photoshop much.
