The Real Estate of Things Illustrated

blue house

I worked for The Canadian Real Estate Association doing web and sometimes I get to do my illustrator thing.

Mostly Illustrator vectoring buildings the with some Photoshop to fade and blend, I work the pieces into shape and then into place. The maps were all redrawn in vector to allow for easy perspective adjustments as smart objects in Photoshop assembly. This one is no longer used, but was on the footer of the realtor.ca site for a couple of years, 2015-17. It repeated along the bottom edge to allow for larger screens. It was dropped with the new 6.0 version of REALTOR.ca, but had over 2 years of exposure.

It was re-purposed for a blog on the NEWS2Me newsletter, entitled “Let it Shine”, with glowing pushpins.

Grafton Country House Illustration

Here’s a jpeg from a vector file I did with Illustrator and some Photoshop. Some auto-trace for the vectoring of the trees. Rebuilt the house, windows and siding and all. Nice house out by Niagara.  Original all vectors, so it scales remarkably well.

Often I wish for something like this in the country side, with an orchard in the back. Sitting on the porch on a summer night, with a nice Niagara wine.
