Beautiful, Vibrant Illustrations Of City Skylines Made With Photoshop And Affinity Designer

Romain Trystram is a freelance illustrator and art director based in Agadir, Morocco. He is known for his stunning illustrations of urban architecture, skylines and technology using a vibrant color palette. Most of his work follows a UV-like theme in which he uses bright neon colors for buildings and city lights, with darker shades in the background for the night sky and horizon.

Romain uses Adobe Photoshop and Affinity Designer to create these illustrations. His clients include Adobe, IBM, Panasonic, Mercedes Benz, Virgin Atlantic, and Siemens, to name a few. Check out some of his fabulous work below.

Illustrations for Affinity Designer

Software developer Serif commissioned Romain Trystram to make three illustrations to promote their vector graphics editor Affinity Designer. He was a bit skeptical at first, because he had always used Photoshop to create his illustrations and had never worked with a vector software before. He decided to give it a shot and the results speak for themselves.
