Here is a collage of some texture references for the area around Flinders Street. Given that our project is leaning toward the dystopian side of things, of a city that's dirty and falling apart, it was interesting to note that you dont have to look hard for reference images for that scenario. Up close, the city looks scungy and in ill-repair, with peeling paint, and sticky greasy marks and stains on everything. I love the tiles in the walkway underneath Flinders Street, with the 'Do Not Spit' signs that are always covered in spit or another disgusting substance, and I think we should include some reference to them in the project. If its been there for 150 years already (ok, so I just made that figure up, but its definately a while), who's to say that it wont be there 50 years from now?
