THE VISUAL RECIPE

Understand the idea

Composition: Open a hardcover book at a shallow angle and make a layered forest rise from the centre fold using believable paper tabs and folded supports.
Light & materials: Textured cream paper, illustrated green foliage, cut-out animals and warm desk light; distinguish ink from paper edges.
Check the result: The scene should remain anchored to the book rather than floating above it. Do not add unreadable paragraphs.
