I showed the group my ongoing development of my second illustration that I have started, which is for the Los Angeles poster. I have chosen an image of the Griffith Observatory that is in LA, as I wanted to steer clear from the usual imagery of palm trees and things associated with Hollywood. Showing something new could spark curiousity in people.
Live tracing has been harder with this image as the building is light in colour, with the shadows being delicate. I tried many different contrast and level settings but not all of the image could be transferred into a vector. Due to this I had to manually add details myself using the line and shape tools.
I finished the design and played with the colours that could be used in both posters. I've found this really tricky, as I'm not used to working with the context of public transport and the like. I discussed them with the group and Johnny wants to take over and try making the posters of the illustrations.
