Developing initial ideas for imagery for the tourist guide
As I had never really looked into the tool of livetracing on Illustrator other than for creating outlines of simple shapes, and I was interested to see what else I could use it for. I started by live tracing a photograph of houses in Khayelitsha in the colour mode with 6 colours:
I then changed the colours of different shapes in the image and added areas of other colours to the image until I achieved a collage/oil paint style texture and feel to the image:
I then repeated the same process with different images from my trip.
