Sometimes a client has a graphic treatment in mind for some parts and then a gap where there are no suggestions on how to visualize. This client wanted the M.C.Escher open (plus all the text) and the second half he wanted those old school isometric looking icons to tell his story. So I just brought those all together, animated entrances and added a bit of motion. Second half done. For the first half he wanted to go into detail about 15 different problems in topography that he wanted to address. So I searched around until I found 8 different hand sketched isometric landscapes and cobbled them all together to show his whole story in one image. When he saw this graphic he teared up because he knew that he would be able to use it for the rest of his career… and also because he knew he needed an upgrade on his second half graphics at some point to match what he called a “masterpiece.” Meh, just some magic photoshopping with the rubber stamp tool. He was so happy that this one is always a good project to look back on.
