Landmark Icons

In a computer graphics class at TCU I was asked to create two icons to represent landmarks from a city or destination. I was inspired by the stadium of my favorite soccer team, Manchester City. I also found the architecture of Manchester City's town hall interesting because of its triangular shape.
To start the process I researched different styles of icons and collected photos of the buildings. Then I drew thumbnails in different styles of the buildings before narrowing down the drawings and refining the details. Finally, I used Illustrator to digitize my ideas using tools like the pathfinder and the pen tool.
