Redfearn Development Streetscape

A graphic designer from the Marietta, South Carolina area contacted Randal in 2003 through this portfolio website and inquired about developing a streetscape illustration to be used in promoting a residential housing development. Randal worked with the designer and the photo resources provided by the developers and architects to create this illustration intended to communicate a lifestyle to prospective home buyers.

Cesario Builders - Windemere Home Illustration

Cesario Builders, a custom home builder located in Warrenville, Illinois, required a line illustration of their new Windemere model home for sales and marketing brochures and newspaper advertising.

To complete this project, Randal Birkey first created a 3D wireframe model of the home, based upon the builder’s blueprint drawings. Once the wireframe viewpoint was approved, the linework was placed in a typical residential lot setting using lansdscaping and construction material information as supplied by the builder. The final art was developed as a digital illustration in Adobe Photoshop and delivered via email to the client.

Cutaway House

Randal illustrated a typical house shown partially cutaway to reveal how Dale Industries/Incor steel framing products can be used in residential construction. The base line work was done in a 3D wireframe software, then transferred to Adobe Illustrator in a 2D format for adding color fills, line weights, captions and border framing.
