Randal lives in Oak Park, Illinois, home of Frank Lloyd Wright, Ernest Hemingway, Ray Kroc and many other famous Americans. The local Oak Park Township community officials contacted Randal in the 1980′s to do an illustration of their new offices at 108 S. Oak Park Avenue. The line drawing below was the result. It has been used in many print communications for the township over the years.
Oak Park Township Offices
55 E. Wacker Drive Building Illustration
The office of the building at 55 West Wacker Dr. in Chicago, Illinois required an illustration of their building for use on printed note cards in order to extend the branding and image of their building property.
Randal Birkey created a line and watercolor rendition of the building as viewed from the Chicago River. The artwork was supplied to the designer as a deigital file and placed into industry standard digital design layout software. The final digital files were sent to a commercial printer, output to film and converted to CMYK printing plates. The note cards were run on a 4-color printing press, and delivered to the 55 W. Wacker Drive Office of the Building.
