Topic- Stella's Charles Ten Resturant
This exhibit was definitely different from all the rest. Instead for going for a traditional topic, Gabriella chose Stella's Charles Ten Restaurant. The model of the restaurant is neat and realistic, and the poster surrounding the model is organized and spaced out.
