San Francisco
The ‘San Francisco’ digital art piece highlights the diversity of the namesake city, with an emphasis on its iconic bridge, buildings, and people. My objective is to help the viewer of the piece feel as though they are in the city and enjoying the moment. The piece combines pop art with detailed architectural rendition to produce a novel portrayal of one of America’s great cities. The piece is enhanced by depictions of the people and scenery that differentiate San Francisco. Production of the graphics requires diligence, and the creation process took me 500 or more hours to accomplish.
The piece shows the De Young museum, Coit tower, the Transamerica tower, the Ferry Building, City Hall, 181 Fremont St, and the Grace Chapel. The art also shows the Golden Gate Bridge and the nearby land. The Golden Gate Bridge is accurately portrayed, including details such as the precise number of stays between the bridge towers. Numerous trees dot the landscape, and include 8 species: Live Oak, Apple, Black Maple, Sycamore, Red Maple, Cherry, Ginkgo, and Monterey Cypress. A diversity of people lines the street, as they do in San Francisco!
I use 2.5D layering without perspective for nearly all the graphics, and I depict each building using an orthographic projection of a single face. As the only exception, I depict the Golden Gate Bridge using a perspective view from the San Francisco shoreline. The variation in views is complementary because of a fantasized transition between bridges and buildings. The high-quality graphics are printed on Fujiflex mounted to an aluminum composite substrate. This approach provides exceptional clarity and print durability and offers a suitable mounting surface for the 3D models. Retaining the detailed graphics during printing is only made possible by the 610 dpi resolution of Fujiflex. The art is mounted in a thin white wooden float frame.
