Not sure about the colors and how big I will print it, but I think it’s almost done. This is 99% photoshop. 1% Illustrator. The assignment was to come up with a visual response to our week in Pasadena, CA. However we were allowed to respond to Southern California in general and since I live very close to Hollywood my take on it had a lot to do with the entertainment business.
