This is something I did about a year ago for some buddies who were going to launch a hip-hop centric music and video site. Unfortunately it never got off the ground.
I was really pumped about this piece when I did it, and I still don't hate it a year later, which says a lot. It's hard to like my own stuff when I keep learning new techniques and my tastes keep changing. But I'm still very pleased with this despite a few details that bother me about it. The wall-paper type pattern in the background was my first foray into "infinitely repeatable" patterns in photoshop. Challenging, but not as impossible as I'd expected!
I would have done a lot more work on it cleaning it and refining it had the project continued.
It was a shame to see it fizzle. Maybe one day they'll pick it back up again and I'll have a chance to re-address the piece.
:^)

Taken on Piccadilly Circus: The Heart of London tour
Located directly underneath the celebrated landmark, Piccadilly Circus station opened in 1906 serving the Bakerloo and Piccadilly lines.
Extensively modernised between 1925 and 1928 to meet passenger demands, the station is an engineering marvel and boasts one of the finest examples of subterranean architecture on the London Underground.
This timeless grade II listed building serves over 40 million passengers a year in style. Redesigned by celebrated architect Charles Holden and reopened in 1928 it was nicknamed the “New Heart of London”.
Visitors will go behind secret doors, to passageways and lift shafts closed to the public since 1929 and discover the original Edwardian design features, the fascinating stories of wartime sheltering and top-secret storage of priceless artefacts. Piccadilly Circus offers a unique perspective of how the London Underground has grown and adjusted to Londoners’ needs for over a century.

clearly this isn't even close to being a good example of a big, fat landscape panning shot, but it's a practise run til I get the real thing done.
