For me, I think the best course of action would be to research the cities before I start to think about what I'm going to illustrate. Internet research is good for researching unreachable places, but it's also dull as shit.
My plan is to go to a large city, one with a lot of things to see/do there and document my journey, similar to how we worked in out visual narratives brief. I want to go and take pictures and document my visit there, and although I may not find the exact idea or object(s) I want to illustrate on that day, I will be a lot more inspiring than staring at a screen all day.
I want to use this as a starting point, as inspiration for me to get ideas of what other cities I want to look into and the links between the other cities and go from there.
First Ideas
Without research, I sat and though about what might be interesting to illustrate. Here are some of my first ideas.
- Distinguishable Architectural Styles
- Traditional Foods
- Zoos
- Industrial Cities (Steel, Textiles etc)
- Street Signs (with addresses and shit)
- Different Foliage (this one may sound weird but I'm sadly quite interested in how buildings interact with their surroundings)
