Final illustration

Final design 

Am i happy with this design? 
I am very please with the outcome to my design, however if i had more time i would of liked to pen tool the whole piece.  I really like how the colours improve this design but does it look to plain? I think maybe making a boarder out of swirls to fill up the design abit more? What do people think?


Adding a boarder (rough)



To much white STILL. So i will now mess around with background colours, i have made up a gradient using RGB just like my swirl colours but again this is just very rough. Any ideas?


Playing with colours





Ok so i have now watched a tutorial using the colour editor wheel. (amazing tool)
I have played around with lots of colours now and here are 3 examples and 3 which i really like.
Does anyone prefer any of the colours ?

  1. I recon the boarder is a good idea mate, maybe tone down the amount of black in the swirls and add a bit more colour

  2. Firstly I like it. There is good use of perspective and the image looks fun and interesting. Does the building have to be Grey? Maybe put some black on sides of the buildings to give it more depth, or subtle gradient to suggest depth. Do you have a vector Media City Uk logo I could pinch my dear?

  3. Hey guys thanks for this. I defo agree with the boarder hopefully will have some time tomorrow to do it :), also i will try making the building bolder but as i live traced it, it could be a ball ache.

    I honestly am getting putt off more and more by this design because its so messy lol and not professional enough for my portfolio so all these comments i will defo try but maybe not for thursday.

    and martin its not vector its just off the internet. i can still send you it if you want ?

  4. I think the Blue Meanies have attacked the buildings: http://bit.ly/JUr7k

    If you address the colour/energy/creativity emitted by the buildings, I don't then think you'll need a 'decorative frame' to lift it.

  5. PS. Are the logo's really necessary?

  6. Hi liz im a little confused to what you want me to do? change the colours of the swirls or get rid of them? also i agree with the logos i just thought we had to put them up :)

  7. Having the buildings grey and the swirls brightly coloured indicates a lack of relationship between the two. Grey dull buildings, grey people work here, outside creative colourful energy swooshing round.

    Do you want to express that?

  8. No i definitely dont want to express that. OK so i have played around with the colours but now i will work on the buildings.

    Thanks liz
