Some photo references

Here are some other shapes and building types I could include in my project. ...


portsmouth, colourful houses, each in a different pastel tone. 


portsmouth, symmetrical windows. The levels of the windows are interesting, how is the inside laid out? 


Cheltenham suffolks market, signs and colours. The amount of detail in the stall makes you almost not notice the two figures, whose black clothing make them separate from the reds and yellows of the games. 

Gloucester, intricate tiling and type. The old font used carries the curves repeated in the door arches and window decor, contrasted by the squareness of the upstairs windows which seem static compares to the fluidity of the ground level. 

Gloucester, interesting roofs. Someone wanted a fancy dormer window....

Cheltenham flowers, could use to separate from the buildings. 

Suffolks butcher ft. bike. Contrast between red and green. 

Bath with wall writing. The difference in the windows on the two levels - long and then shorter. Most interesting is the faded painted type, adding texture to the battered stone walls.

The colours! The shapes! Look how they over lap, intertwine and interact with each other to make a dynamic image that draws you in, looking at each section. The movement across the page, the balance of colours and edges. A visual feast.

Using ‘Around the world in 80 days’ as a starting point, ..... looked up the exact locations named in the books and found them on Google Street Maps. Included at the bottom left is even the Google yellow man. Its great to create something new from a technology people are reliant on and make it inspiring. Does it make it less impactful that the artist used Google search? Or should he actually have travelled there in person? Either way, the images are bright and colourful, with the hand written font adding to the feeling of it being a signed sketch put into the post.
