Today, I started to create my timeline of my fictional empire's history, form it's rise to it's downfall. The reason I changed from a straight-forward board to a timeline was because the board format was a little bit boring and was't working out for me. The layout is inspired by timeline posters that you would typically find in both museums and schools but it instead displays the timeline of my fictional country. It starts in the year of 1571 with the birth of the first Sultana and then ends on the takeover by the British Empire in the 1870's. I wanted to make it look as organized and professional as possible so I created a layout that the rest of the timeline would follow and made sure that the time-markers were all a equal distance apart so that they all measured correctly. I also didn't want it to look to plain and dull like some timelines so I added a blue and green sweep effect in the background to make it a lot more livelier and colourful. The reason why I displayed the images of the Sultanas on the timeline was because I wanted to make it look even more interesting then what it already was. The text was specifically chosen to the look the most official and easy-to-read which is often the way with most museum displays. Overall this has been a good start on the construction of my fictional timeline and I hope it looks good when its finished.
