World At War:
1.0 Initial Research Landscapes First of All I began researching into landscape designs for sources of inspiration. I need ot create a world based on a realistic setting with the characters, races to co-ehist coherently and not randomly. One of the most mportant aspect is Mapping and Landscapes, both natural and buildings. The few pages which I will present are actually real life soures of very beautiful scenery that has inspired folklore. Alden Valley in old English technically means ‘‘Elf ’’ Valley
Alden Valley Rossendale, Lancashire, England.
Alden Valley Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada,
St Andrew’s Cathedral, Sctland
Near the Border of Chili with Argentina
Deforestation near the Amazon, before and after
Melting of the Polar icecaps
1.0 Fantasy and Culture A really amazing piece of art byQiang Zhou found on Artstation. The image depicts fantasy setting with a castle based upon Irabic cultural Religion. The image represents the co-relation of Holy Land and the monument of religious values. There is a reason behind the building being the center of the composition.
1.0 Roger Dean I have always had an interest overlooking at old Fantasies and their style of representation. Roger Dean has constructed the Freyja’s Castle (1987) making constract between the cold irony shapes of Technology and the very colourful warm colouring of nature. In my work I wish to deplict the contrast between Technology and Nature in a very harmful way. This piece of art really caught my attention.
1.0 Star Wars The Old Republic Concept art One of my all time favourite designs and arts remain to the most productive and succesfull Companies. Bioware and EA relased this game back in 2011. The concept art is truthfully amazing, it represents the Republic and Empire 25,000 years before the events of the film. I enjoy the piece of art due to the symbolism used within.
1.0 Nacism and Facism Technically one of my prime agendas in my project is to show that all of us live on the same planet and extreme cases of Racism should be discarged otherwise the world will suffer and War will knock on our doorstep. Nacism and Communism are examples of extreme dictatorship, causing the loss of billions during the War and even after, in regards to Communism

Concepts : Info-graphic My first idea was to create a sub-fantasty world subversing racism and ways of attracting audience in a playful manner while talking regarding serious world wide issues. I wanted to create a Map and add various sections of races which are completely representing past and present conflicts. Later on the concept was scrapped due to the difficulity of getting the concept across,
Concepts : Card Game Top Trumps The seccond and current concept is to recate a card game based on Top Trumps featuring various national leaders both past and present. The game itself shall be based on racism and the deck cards shall be two. One of them a sub-versed version of the world leaders made into fantasy races, adding a more playful element and a realistic card deck of the actual leaders. Apart from visuals the style of interaction will be absolutely the same.
