I created my project around tips to enjoy the best of San Francisco. I wish I had made it a little more specific, but I enjoyed this process and learned so much!

First I did my theme brainstorm: SF Spots - image 1 - student project Then I did my research and started sketching thumbnails: SF Spots - image 2 - student project I showed my partner all the thumbnails and asked which evoked SF the most. Then I refined my favorite six. SF Spots - image 3 - student project I narrowed it down to four for the finals. I opted not to do the bread (too simple) and the cable car (I think I may use it for the next set instead). SF Spots - image 4 - student project

Then I chose a color palette and did a color pass. I think I can refine them a bit more and add some texture, but I wanted to step away from them for a moment to get a fresh perspective. SF Spots - image 5 - student project

Now for the next set! I started thumbnail sketching based on the list that I made earlier:

From there, I picked my favorite six and refined the drawings:

And then I colored in my the final four of my second set:

I'm happy with how my spots turned out! This class was great for learning more about editorial illustration!
