I decided to add a border to make it look more professional and finished - also that way when I print and cut it down I won't have a chance of cutting the main image.
I added little hammer and sickles on the border as well to add more of a communist propaganda touch, I think it had come out looking quite smart.
Originally the image was going to be 3 metres long with only the height of an A4 sheet of paper. I felt that was too long and would be difficult to print in all the different sections - especially if I want it double sided. So I've managed to squeeze it down to about 20x192cm. I still want it to be an impressive size - and so I don't lose any of the detail. But I want to be able to print double sided which can only be done on A2 paper, the cover will also be double sided and that will be a bit wider than the main image so everything has to fit.
The back of the concertina will just have this simple red design:
I was originally going to have the timeline on the back but getting it to aline exactly right when sticking the sections together would be really difficult, and this way the image can be put on a wall with all the information on the same side. I thought it should have some sort of back colour as the cover will also be red, that way there will be no bright, contrasting white anywhere.
