Romeck Marber: Timeline

Following my research into Romek Marber, I've created a timeline of his life based on a map of Poland as this is where he was born. I've chosen to feature Warsaw the Capital of Poland for the map in order to bring together the modern world with the past by featuring 'old warsaw' within the sectioned of part of the city I've decided to use. I'm pleased with the outcome of this piece of work as the information is still legible despite the underlying lines of the map which was a main concern when I initially started to create the timeline. I plan to feature the timeline on coloured paper upon printing which will relate to the theme of mystery and espionage feature across the books by John le Carre.
