Illustration style
Through community engagement and co-design sessions we developed a distinctive isometric illustration style that captures the areas history and icon landmarks. The set of 6 designs adorn over 400 vitreous enamel panels that run the length of the underpass. The panels were designed to be remixed in different arrangements, creating new and unexpected visual connections.
