Craft: I used Adobe Illustrator to trace over my original photo and create an illustration.  I used the pen tool to outline the different objects, and the eyedropper tool to color the objects.  I also used the shape tool for the circular and rectangular objects in the photo.  I stuck with the standard stroke throughout the whole picture because I like the uniform look.

Concept: I chose to illustrate this particular picture on Adobe Illustrator because I like the sign.  It stands out as the foreground of the photo.  I also like the architecture in the background and the few random plants in the photo.  I also thought the photograph would be a good illustration.

Composition:  I chose to give the photo a cartoon look.  I think it works best for the illustration because I don't like the standard detailed look.  Also, there are many small details that I did not find necessary in illustrating the photo, so I made the sign the most detailed object, being the most important aspect of the photograph and now the illustration.
