For my project this week, I knew that I wanted to have a dynamic city landscape. I love the look of city skylines, and so I decided to use that as my main focus. First, I made a background image in Photoshop and Illustrator to make a flat background that incorporated a gradient sunset, and the buildings. For my randomized, dynamic objects, I incorporated in cars, clouds, and planes. Each of these dynamic objects moves across the screen, and has some property about itself be randomized each time it goes off of the screen. For example, the clouds randomize their color, transparency, and size every time they have made it off of the screen. Below is my initial sketch for what I wanted the final project to look like:
This is stunning!
Thank you!! 🙂
