Project Description:
Created for RATIO Architects, Inc., this illustration became a terrazzo floor installed in the Multimodal Transportation Center and City Hall, Normal, Illinois.
Our Role:
We illustrated the 4 different vignettes featuring the different modes of transportation. Adam Ratcliff, designer at RATIO, created the compass elements and font treatments as well as art directed the project.
The Goal:
We needed to created a ‘deco’ style of illustration that represented auto, train, bus, and pedestrian/bicycle transportation. They needed to be engaging and retro, but also had to be terrazzo-floor friendly! The shapes and line weights needed to jibe with what the terrazzo craftsmen had to do to prepare the metals and materials for installation. Of course, there was a lot of behind-the-scenes work done by RATIO and Missouri Terrazzo to make this ready to install.
