Pixel Art

So for the more zoomed in views were thinking that maybe we can switch to pixel art. There is already a huge community of people online creating and showing it so it shouldnt be too hard to get it done once the site would actually get launched- if ever. Theres even some social networking websites based on it like Cyworld and Habbo Hotel.

So check out of this stuff me and Hepi came across today.

And an About.com Entry about creating Pixel Art.

The type of art we choose isnt all that important but I think this can give us and the audience a better idea of how it might look once completed at the zoomed in levels. We would not of course be creating th whole city but just neighborhoods and mostly the more important buildings would be detailed like the nodes we were talking about. Nodes = Buildings or landmarks that are clickable and take to you content directly or to content portals.

I found an Isometric map of Washington DC thats pretty similar what were going for at their Tourism website. I think we can use this as an example.
