Tourism Package - Change of Plans

After thinking about the amount of work that would go into creating assets for my Silo tour package, I've decided to do something a bit more personal.

I'm going to do a detailed tour of Yosemite, in particular the Panorama Hike. My husband and I did that hike on our honeymoon last year and got some great photos. I was shooting with my panasonic t3 most of the trip, so I have detailed location information embedded in the metadata of the images.

I am still working on the main illustration for my poster (which will be a line drawing illustration) but have been playing with text ideas. I'm using clipping masks in Illustrator to fill my text with photos that I have taken. This is nowhere near the final version, but this is what I have been working on so far.

Just a tip, if you are going to do the Panorama hike, might I suggest the alternate route of the John Muir trail to the valley. The Mist Trail is panic inducing, even if you aren't afraid of heights. Imagine a stairway with a rickety handrail that is wide enough for one person to be on at a time. Now image dozens of people trying to go both up and down the stairway at the same time. All while on wet, slippery rocks.
