I’ve been working on some new urban assets. It’s fun to come up with a map idea then research what kinds of objects are needed to complete that scene. That always leads to more research about what all of those objects really look like. There are so many things all around us that we see all the time, but never really pay enough attention to know what they look like. For instance, a stoplight has red, yellow and green lights… and what else? I now know about the dimensions of many urban objects I’ve passed by without giving a second thought to what they really looked like. Crazy to think about!
