Architecture Project

The architecture project had to be the most time consuming project out of them all. When first diving into the project, I chose a mansion that was very detailed. I soon realized that the image would require many hours of careful attention and I felt the illustrated version was absolutely goofy and awkward when compared to the original image. I think an illustrated version looking goofy and cartoonish is okay, and can be desirable with some images - but for the mansion it just wasn't working. I then decided to use this image of an adobe house. I liked the western look and clay, red colors involved. I created the image mostly with the pen tool and organized each layer carefully. Upon receiving some important critiquing, I agree that the finished product can use some better attention to finer detail. I feel that the background my appear out of place a bit and can use some better blending techniques. Realizing what needs correction and improvement, I feel this assignment was crucial in order to help develop the essential skills needed to be successful in Illustrator. I also feel this assignment acts as a good spring board that will allow me to create better, cleaner architural images in the future.
