Aerial View of Northampton

This abstract image was to draw attention to the new life possible in a less active part of the existing town of Northampton as a result of a new pedestrian link proposed to better connect the station to the city centre.

The image was intended to evoke the night lights on the streets from above the town. The street pattern was clearly expressed to allow some chance at orientaton when labelled.

The drawing was made in pencil and light watercolour washes on white paper, and then digitally inverted in photoshop.
