The overall style that I aimed for on these images was art deco, the patients passion for music needed to be shown but also his outstanding knowledge of New York and all its layout.
The map works are is supposed to be abstract buildings of the city.
Getting the skyline right on this image was tricky but achieved eventually. The maps were representing lights of the building here.
Here is one that I prefer more than some of the others. I feel that it works better in its approach to the buildings.
Here is another image created in the same way as the others although I worked a lot faster on this one to try and create a busy effect for the city, whilst it work least well in relation to the source material, it did end up being the main component of the front cover.
And here is my final piece, art deco was a strong influence, it was completed using stencil work, the Chrysler building was hand drawing using pens as were the musical notes. The image was handmade and then polished off in Adobe illustrator.
