Rouen Maison a colombage Illustration Image

What would our Streetline panoramas look like realised as illustrations? We asked ourselves the same question and quickly realised it within the team. We present you the first examples here…

Transforming the photographs into drawings gives us new opportunities to creatively reinterpret the complex structures and details of the architecture. When translating into an illustration, our artists (m/f/d) can emphasise, abstract or stylise shapes, lines or perspectives to redirect the visual focus. And we expand our options for using the visual material. Illustrations are often better suited for specific design purposes, such as editorials, branding or animations, as they can be easily adapted to different formats. There is also more room for artistic freedom, as colours, textures and styles can be added that go beyond pure photography.

As a first example, we had a Leipzig shopping street implemented as a colouring-in variant, using a street block from our panorama of Petersstraße in the centre of Leipzig.
