I've been making illustrations based upon the first chapter of the book. Firstly, I drew all the different objects he mentions (see left) and then I put it into a composition. (see right) I've tried to create visual depth by having some elements big to stand out (and show importance) while having more detailed smaller elements that add interest. What I think worked particularly well was the positive/negative elements in the bottom right hand corner.
This is my more successful design. I've gone a bit further and put siloehette details into the positive shapes. For example, there are churches in the bird and cars in the people. I used black to create a greater contrast. I am interested in taking this further by playing around with pattern and positive and negative shapes.
