Tower Illustration

I wanted to draw something relating to the cityscape at MediacityUK, I have drawn towers in several different styles in the past but i feel this Technique is the most posotive style to create the feeling of height and depth in the Building itself. These are step by step Illustrations showing how i have developed my design and how i have advertised the Mediacity.

1. Good and solid design with a feeling of height and windows need a retro Tetris style blocks which will represent the windows. In the photos i took one of the buildings has alot of these shapes on the material used on these structures and i felt i could incorporate these shapes into my illustration, overall the technique is working well.

2. As you can see i have input the name MediacityUK into my Illustration but in a suttle way, I wanted to make the type more block style so that there is no contrast between the windows and the type but still visible and readable.

3. All windows and layout complete, now i want to add shade to create depth.

4. Windows all shaded in, now i want to make the type stand out more so i would need to use a colour.

5. I have thickened up the boarder and added red to the type and blue to the windows. I added the blue to the windows because i felt they needed to be realised that they are there and the only way to do that is by adding abit of colour but not to much to take the focus away from the writing.
