This step involves creating a mock-up that conveys the essence of a proposed solution. An important goal of this step is to help the design team weed out unworkable or impractical solutions and focus attention on ideas that are likely to be approved by stakeholders.
This is my very first time to compose a piece! and also the first time to edit & upload the video in YouTube!! :DD

I choose democracy because it gives more freedom to the citizens, allowing them to chase for what they want in life. This kind of government encourages equality, which means it fits the aspect prioritized in my country. Furthermore, base on the quiz in Empathy stage, I tend to be a democratic leader. The analysis of the survey form also showed that most of the people prefer democratic government.
Laws are implemented to ensure the peace of the country.
Law of Equality : Anyone who practices racism and sexual discrimination, will get penalty of Galactic 10000. They may also be driven out of the country.

Law of Illegal Activities : Smoking, taking drugs, vandalism, violet crime, just to mention a few, are banned in my country. The criminals need to do community service for years(based on the seriousness of the crime). If they still do not turn over the new leaf, they will be driven out of my country.
Paper notes and tokens
Electronic transaction is very common in my country, but we still use paper notes and tokens to appreciate the historical value inserted in the paper money.
Credit Cards

The main careers in Arthro are artists and musicians. They have the same passion towards art. They make art for fun and adventure, building bridges between themselves and the rest of humanity and saying things that they can’t express in any other ways.
They live with nature. Most of them are animal lovers and have green fingers. The average life expectancy is the highest in Leafro compared to Quezro and Arthro. They live with more vegetation around, so it is the reason they have a lower risk of mortality.
Futuristic cities with high-tech products. It is positively bristles with innovation, and the rapidly growing electronics industry is centered in Quezro. The National Technology and Innovation Festival is held annually to bring out the future scientists to the limelight.
The Magical Tribes
Their jobs and responsibilities :
Teach the young generations the way to use magic.
Protect the safety of the country by using magic to make the country invisible.
Pass on the secrets to communicate with animals in music language.
Opera gives me inspiration to insert the "Music Language" into my country. Although I don't understand the language in opera, I still enjoy opera because I can feel their emotions very strongly. I also enjoy listening to choir. The harmonization of music just makes me feel escaping from the hustle and bustle of busy city life. Feel free to enjoy the videos below! It raises my goosebumps every time I listen.
Citizens in Preludy are required to learn Music Language. Music is a form of language. It requires studying, analysis and understanding. It is more interesting than a language because you can enjoy the melody while you are communicating with others at the same time. It can also help people with Alzheimer’s recall seemingly lost memories and even help maintain some mental abilities. I believe that music really can unites the citizens of Preludy.

The vaccines are in development and soon, all citizens will get free vaccination and we can fight the virus very soon!
What is Values-based Education?
Values-based Education is an approach to teaching that works with values. It creates a strong learning environment that enhances academic achievement and develops students' social and relationship skills that last throughout their lives.
The positive learning environment is achieved through the positive values modelled throughout the school. It quickly liberates teachers and students from the stress of confrontational relationships, which frees up substantial teaching and learning time.
It also provides social capacity to students, equipping them with social and relationship skills, intelligences and attitudes to succeed at school and throughout their lives.
The social life of an individual is an important aspect in their life because it shapes their behavior in regard to the environment that they live in. Therefore, value based education plays an important role in one's social life by teaching the importance of being honest with other people, as well as handling challenges in a strong manner. The education is not only made for the purpose of passing exams but also, for developing intelligent people who are able to deal with real life situations at any given time.
The energy generating system in my country is using 100% renewable energy.
Solar power generation. (making use of the available solar energy)
Geothermal power generation. (Energy available in the Earth’s crust)
Hydroelectric power station (energy available from the water turbines)
Wind power generation (energy available from the wind turbines)
"When I see the cover page for the first time, I thought the picture is dark and gloomy. But the next second I felt kind of touching because the girl in the middle is exploring the unknown path, unknown future. Just like in reality, people are still thinking of studying arts is a waste of time and money. But art student like Yi Yun is going against public opinion and chasing her dream and ambition. Anyways, perfect choice of the picture. Keep up the excellent work! Next, I would suggest Yi Yun improve the icon of the thumbnails either to be all drawn or all real-life picture and a similar shade of colour to show unity. Moving on to the biography, I like Yi Yun where she appreciates her life with activities that she wants, and from here I can know Yi Yun is a team-worker and passionate about everything she does. By the way, congrats to your awards in your graduation ceremony, u must be genuinely deserved it!
Design a country has always been a fantasy to so many! I believed the design thinking processes assist Yi Yun with better insight in her assignment, as I can see, she listed out details of the reason why she adds a particular element in her country. I like the ideate stage presentation very much. It shows details and creativity that Yi Yun has. It listed out every concern of mine in designing a country. The location of the country did show the mysterious side of the designer as it is invisible, thanks to magic! What a wild imagination that never happened in our reality! It does attract me to be the citizen of Preludy! Two questions, since Preludy can change the location immediately like "phew phew phew", is it possible that Preludy to be located in another planet and how will you do assist your people in adapting to many locations? Among all, I like the concept of introducing music to the culture and the citizens of the country, primarily to communicate in music language. I reckon how does this work to "physically" communicate and hope Yi Yun can put in a little more details as this attracts my interest!
My opinion on the economy part will be creating a digital version of "money" instead of the paper version. As mentioned Preludy emphasises on the "high-tech" and I am looking forward to seeing the stunning combination between technology and economy. Besides, I like the concept of national costume instead of race costumes like many countries have. The idea of national costumes does show the identities of Preludian and the equity behind them.
Moving on to the prototype page, who says art student only know drawings? The composition of the national anthem does give me a sense of dignity of the country. I would suggest another version with possibly created with more instruments to indicates the diversification of the country! And maybe, make national instruments specially for the national anthem! Moreover, the map of the country did catch my eye! The quavers kind of territory! However, it will be exciting if I can see the country in a 3D version so that I can imagine it more appropriately! I wonders will the outer side of the region be sea or sky or anything else. Sparks my imaginations!"
