Exploring illustration styles

Week 2.1

This week I was exploring in more detail isometric illustrations. I personally love doing vector illustrations but have become rusty, and would like to try a style of illustration I haven't tried before. Isometric was brought up to me because of this interesting article by the Uber design team, who recently redesigned all of their car icons in 3D

It got me thinking about how food trucks would look as an isometric view.

I also visited the farmers market this week and was thinking a lot about how it might look from a different perspective, like from above, or from side on without any perspective. This made me think back to apple's WWDC 2016 branding which included a top down view of a chaotic sea of people, similar to how you might see at a farmers market.

I also noticed how colourful the market is, not just in fruits and vegetables, but in the green, red, orange and yellow bins that are organised every week to create a systematic flow to the farmers market. One image that caught my eye was when they don't stack perfectly, it reminded me of the yotam otteligign book cover "plenty more" and the overlapping translucent colours are something I'm interested in exploring.
