Final Major Project - Art

2. Final Major Project
For my final major project I chose to do a concept environment, the genre will be
Science Fiction. I intend to create the final piece by drawing using pencil onto paper
and then scanning that drawing onto the computer and using Photoshop to colour and
edit it. I wanted my environment to resemble a futuristic urban landscape filled with tall
glass towers, busy roadways and large open parks. On the next several slides you will be
able to see some examples of artists and architects from who I have taken inspiration.
