Making of Final Board

For Final board of this project, I would like to make an A3 board to show my design.

Making pictures of the final board

I plan to put two pictures into the final board.

1. The First one: 

I first used PS software to make the pictures needed for the final template.

from Sketchup

a picture from Monument to the Martyr of the China 1911 Revolution

Then, the final vision: this is the back of the memorial.

2. The second one:

I exported an image from the Sketchup model. After manually painting some seats in Photoshop, I inserted some trees and shrubs around the seat.

Material for making the second picture

Then, the final vision: this is the front of the memorial.

Making final board

1. Layout:

I chose to make that image black and light it down because the second image looks a little bit hand-painted and doesn't quite match the first one.

2. Contents:

I plan to write the aim of the design and some introduction of the elements design.

1) Design Aim:

'Yue Fei is one of the most famous warriors from Chinese history, and he is not only a general on the battlefield but also a tragic hero in Chinese culture.

It is said that a man dies three times. The first time biologically, the second time at a funeral when relatives and friends say goodbye to him, and the third time when everyone forgets him. Constructing a memorial to Yue Fei means that no matter how many years have passed, people will still admire him.'

2) Introduction of the elements design:

According to the History of the Song, Yue Fei had on his back four words: 'Jin Zhong Bao Guo', whose Chinese writing is ' 尽忠报国', and it means loyalty to the country.  These four words are engraved on the back of the memorial.

Yue Fei was proclaimed king of E by the emperor of the Later Song Dynasty, so we may call him the King of E of Yue in the Song Dynasty, and the Chinese way of writing this is '宋岳鄂王'.

3. Other picture:

Since there is still some space available, I have put in some elevation and overlooking pictures of the monument.
