In this project I will be using the skills that I develop in the Adobe Illustrator software workshops to produce a set of 4 post cards based on four major world cities of my choosing. My illustrations will aim to effectively communicate the individual identity of each city but simultaneously work as a set.
My finished cards will be 120mm x 210mm with the format orientation as portrait.
I will aim to communicate purely through image and not use type as a means of communication.
I have carried out research into some images from around the world and I found some beautiful photographs below:
Combining elements such as portraiture and the nations food / animals/landmarks
Use the persons face as a canvas -paint the city on it (a bit like the earlier Holi elephants)
I was thinking about focusing on world cities with festivals. According to Buzzfeed some not to miss include:
After researching into these festivals and their prospective cities I think this would be a really good idea to follow for this project. The festivals represent the successes and fun and life of their cities. They represent the people and their culture as well as specific aspects of the city itself. I will narrow down this list of festivals to four for my final postcards.
