Virtual Tourism Illustrations

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Lehel Kovacs Uses Google Street View to Share Worldy Experiences

— September 23, 2015 — World
Artist Lehel Kovacs has fulfilled his lifelong dream of circling the globe, but has done so virtually through Google Street View. Inspired by the children's book 'Around The World In Eighty Days,' Kovacs created a modern interpretation of the literary classic using the technologies available.

Kovacs selected certain areas of cities and through Google Maps and its Street View function was able to find the basis for his illustrations. Each piece is based on a specific Street View and includes places like Le Gare du Nord in Paris and Broome Street in New York.

The illustrations are playful and colorful sketches that have a mid-century feel, better connecting Kovacs' images with Jules Verne's classic children's book. Kovacs hope to convert his illustrations into a set of postcards.
Trend Themes
1. Virtual Tourism Illustrations - Virtual tourism through technologies like Google Street View opens up new creative possibilities for artists and designers.
2. Playful Mid-century Style - The mid-century style and playful illustrations of Lehel Kovacs' work taps into a growing trend for nostalgic design.
3. Postcard Collecting - Kovacs' aim to convert his illustrations into a series of postcards taps into a renewed interest in physical, tactile experiences in an increasingly digital world.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - The art and design industries can benefit from exploring new ways of representing the world virtually and experimenting with new design styles.
2. Tourism and Travel - Virtual tourism is an innovative means of showcasing destinations, and the travel industry can explore ways to incorporate it into their marketing strategies.
3. Print and Publishing - Kovacs' aim to produce physical postcards reflects a trend for physical and tactile experiences, presenting opportunities for growth in the print and publishing industries.
