Illustrations of the buildings most iconic, historical, known and contemporary of Milan and outputs with the illustrations themselves.
Brief
Milan is the first city I moved to and where I studied. The idea of illustrate the city, it was born quite naturally: almost by chance, I started illustrating the most known buildings (as Duomo, Torre Velasca, Arco della Pace, Castello Sforzesco… ) and after I went on trying to illustrate all the city by its buildings, from the most historical and iconic ones, up to the most contemporary (like the three Towers of City Life, Bosco Verticale and others), passing through museums, railway stations, churches and buildings of all genre, able to tell the diversity of the Milan urban context and the time passing.
Process
I illustrated quite 100 buildings, but the project is still in progress: there’s a lot of buildings I can illustrate because Milan doesn’t stop and there’s always something under construction!
In addition to the illustrations (designed with flat colors and black outline), I designed the logotype Milano (in sans serif to reflect the modernity and the look to the future of the city). Moreover, I designed some outputs, as t-shirts, notes, mugs, bookmarks, bags and posters (some already in some houses).
