To say Urban Agriculture Poster2 by *spaceboys is a complex piece of vector art would be an understatement. Such rich color and vibrancy bring this wonderful illustration to life.

Description

"Creation of piece of Art Work representing local food & agriculture in our cities around the world for usage on promotionnal materials, manuals and website."
... says the contract.
This is the same clients than the one I did this for:
[link]
They actually wanted a relative match of the poster, so they could use them together.
This contract was way more complex.
Even the theme was more challenging.
After few meetings with the clients, we decided to go with a poster that would be split in two, the top part would represent agriculture and urbanisation in Cuba, while the bottom part would show the same theme in Canada, in fact, in British Columbia.
I was given hundreds of pictures to sort and choose as "models", and a relative amount of freedom was also given to me.
I drew the poster in Illustrator, also used some clip arts I own, modified them all massively, put the entire thing together and went back to the client.
We made 3 levels of modifications for each parts of the poster, adding some 80 hours of work.
It was on a very tight deadline, and the total amount of work was 300 hours, which is from far the most I ever put for a single piece.

Even thou I own the copyright, the client got the native ai file, which allows them to use details for separate pubication.
I also created some 100 files of libraries for them, just to make it easy.
I do like to please my clients.

And so, they were thrilled with the result.
This project has drained me beyond what I thought it could, but I do feel really good about it now that it is over, he he he...

I plan on taking a break from side contracts for few weeks, so I can chill a little.
Right bellow are the Tech/Specs for whomever is interested.
I would like to add that the full view is a MUST people, overwise, you really don't see anything, and that the file is huge, so be patient, or get broadband connection.
Have yourself some really good time.
Cheers.
