I'm working on a Times Square-like plaza in my own city too. Yours is amazing, Patrick. (Woah, that's my name too!)

Anyone have any ideas for brand logos to use for billboards?

Patrick · #2 Posted **Jun 19, 2006, 7:54 AM**

Thanks! Making Textures isnt that hard, Its very simple, just draw a part of a building that can pattern on paint then upload it. My Textures arent very complicated.

And foxmtbr (or Patrick

) Its also easy and kinda fun to make Billboards. Most of my Billboards have pictures of real cities with some corporate name on it. Here are a few.

^Those made up corporate names are easy to think of like Jenkin's and Associates or Galviston Enterprises.

And some billboards are just made up stores and companies, that are simpler,

^Those made up companies are basicly parodies of real company names like Lacy's (Macy's) HITtv (Mtv)

Another thing that helped me was Getty Images, a great stock photo website that has pictures of almost everything, this is where I got my business people pictures and Times Square Billboards.

That website is AWESOME. Thus far I've been spending the most time making textures in photoshop.

I'll see what I can do with that certian block. i'll probably do the 2nd bridge as an arched bridge, like the Hells Gate Bridge. Hey CGII, do you have anything positive to say about Staunton? I mean yeah I love feedback, but all you seem to give is negative feedback.

They're just conceptual, I'm not to sure of the right proposal but I'mma try something with the left proposal.

Jefferson wasnt enough? I know progress isnt fast but this stuff takes time, its not as easy as Hutchinson where entire districts could be made instantly, the textures slow down the process quite a bit.

Only one, just a History Museum in Cannery Park and a Library Across the Street.

Jefferson is there, no one remembers the pic I posted? Well here are a few more.

City Hall Renders, I was gonna enter it into the Art Deco competiton but yeahh.
