Illustrated advertisement for Dream Hotel Group's Meatpacking hotel, Dream Downtown. I created this ad when I was an art director at Dream Hotel Group working under the brilliant visionary and one of hospitalitydesign.com's Next Gen Brendan McNamara. I drew this ad using the digital illustration app Procreate on the iPad. Brendan and I brainstormed the concept with Nylon Magazine's demographic in mind. The ad depicts a romantic fall sunset on the hotel's PH-D Rooftop Lounge.
