ANGELA FRACASSO: Hi, I'm Angela with ExpertVillage.com. And in this segment, I'm going to talk about choosing a theme for your child's wall mural. And this client that I'm doing has chosen a construction theme. And so what we did is we just looked online. Sometimes, it's hard to find exactly what you need to get on the wall and so we just find photographs and things, and you can freehand it onto the wall with a pencil. Also some people like to project their images. You can use an overhead projector; you can use an art projector. However you want to get it onto the wall, but you want to figure out your layout before you get your paint on there. So what we've done is we've laid out the trucks to where she wants. This client wanted me to incorporate this into the mural to try to make it not look so tacky in the room. And so we're going to make this into a construction sign in the foreground and then we've got the trucks laid out in the background. I've drawn now all three trucks and then a little bit of the background. You don't have to draw in the whole mural but at least so you're happy with where everything is. And then I think that's about it for that.
