Project 1: Inspiration and research for board art

I got alot of inspiration on the game 'Red Dead Redemption.' I think the game art and designers have really portrayed the cowboy theme amazingly detailed. So I decided to research by playing (it's a hard life) Red Dead Redemption and took photographs of certain parts of the game I would like to incorporate on my board.

All of these picture I took with my camera which are from the xbox 360 version of 'Red Dead Redemption.'

I've got an idea on how to do the art on the board. Obviously I am going to do a cowboy theme and I want to make it look like you are looking down into a wild west scene. I am therefore going to give it a birdseye view angle to start off with on one half of the board slowly panning around to give it a different point of view. (if that makes sense). What gave me the inspiration for this is the 'Simpsons Monopoly board' displayed in the photograph below.
