RMC’s 1I have a love for the forces so I done this. This project was an end of year final major project. For this, we made a book: using Blurb, InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. On this show sheet, you can see the bottom, silhouette, illustration that’s I designed and made. I did this by using illustrator, but first I drew the figures of the Royal Marines out. I was going for a sunset background but changed it after I found textures on Photoshop, this was a much better style, and gave a better effect than a plain old sunset.

Lympstone Commando railway station is located on the Avocet Line, a branch line from Exeter to Exmouth
The station used to be for the exclusive use of visitors to the Royal Marine Commando Training Centre at Lympstone only. In recent times a new footpath and cycleway has been built between the railway and the camp so now the station is available for anyone to use.
