Today, while at work here in sunny California, I couldn’t help but think of all you Ohioans digging out from under buckets of snow. While I can’t help clear the driveway or thaw the car’s locks, I can post some inspiration, albeit small. I have been working on an invitation for work sponsored event in the Big Sur area. McWay Cove in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park makes the perfect vista for the back page. I took a few slight creative liberties, but then again… its a nameless illustration on the back of a golf flyer, no need to be perfectly accurate. Working in Illustrator, general shapes are laid out. Then, many layers of detail are added, progressively getting more specific. While I am not a painter, I imagine this process to be much the same. Start large, lay in color blocks, then work towards the fine detail. Hope all your snow melts soon!
Yes, this park is a truely an amazing place to visit, especially if you have someone truely amazing to visit it with!

John begging from a friend.
How do I make a transparent picture or graphic in Photoshop and the be able to change the color in InDesign? I used to be able to easily but CS3 doesn’t play nice. Thanks, Diane
