I am required to capture the visual aesthetic and essence of each city in order for the final postcards to be recognisable - research into monuments, landmarks, well known signs colours shapes etc, skylines
I have been thinking about the cities I would like to illustrate - want a diverse range - all parts of the world - Rio de Janeiro, Cairo, London, NYC -visual research needed - what are these cityscapes defined by - think small as well as big - taxis - yellow cabs in new york - a certain type of taxi in london - could visually link using same object in each city but including it's differences - public transport - roads - mail box - phone boxes in london
Christ the Redeemer - Rio - foreground - mid ground - background - blocks of shadow - silhouette good for illustrator and basic shapes
Yellow cabs & Statue of Liberty - New York - grid lock - pattern of cars - standstill
Pyramids - Cairo - geometric patterns - simple repetition?
London - Buses - phone boxes - buses - red highlight theme colour - cars disappearing behind buildings - layers in illustrator
