Marco Paolini
Inspiration for the design:
The design for the Clifton village war memorial was created by using three photos, that was taken during world war one, all the pictures are silhouettes of British soldier.
Generally there are 8 soldiers per section so I decided to incorporate it in my design also by doing that I have tried to create a realistic scenario and to try recreate the realities of war.
