Minimalist Landmarks in Adobe Illustrator

The places we call home, visit, or dream about form the backdrop to our lives. Landmarks are often meeting points and tourist attractions—but they can also be fantastic subjects for evocative illustrations. Over the last few years, I’ve had a chance to capture some of my favourite landmarks in a minimalist style, and I’d like to share my workflow with you.

This class is for makers interested in creating compelling, focussed artwork inspired by a landmark or point of interest.

While I will be creating my piece in Adobe Illustrator, you can use any medium software. If you already have a well-defined style, you can integrate these ideas into it rather than trying to emulate mine.

By the end of the class, you will have produced a minimalist image of your favourite landmark.
