EDO SPREAD
This is a two-page spread I did for Dragon
Magazine of
the city of Edo as it was in the ancient world. It is
one of several I did, as part of a series called "Cities
for the ages." A lot of date-sensitive
architectural and
design research went into this. The original is of course
full size at 300 dpi so this one leaves out a lot of detail but
gives the overall layout, minus some text. It was done in
separate pieces in pencil, to give an old-world feel. The
graphs and smaller maps were done in Illustrator. Then
it was composed and colorized in Adobe Photoshop. I have
also incorporated some genuine art of the period as
background texture.
