SIP - Noir influences and Design ingredients

To further understand the thematic quilaties of 'Film Noir', which will be the design language used in my digital (inspired through the eyes of one characters story).

To do this, I've reread the story in the book to understand the world better and extract the descriptions of the world.

Hyperion - The Detectives Tale:

Near Industrial District
Drizzling
Smoke - Low Level Smog
Small Bar - Ship Tavern - Dark Booth - Templar influenced
Side roads - Allyways
Palm Lock - door entrant
Strict Laws - Card Protection - sign
Big Brother 1984 inspired - Eye
Padlock
Slight decay on some buildings
Display Panals/Advertising
Ventilators
SkyCab - Flying Cars

Another place to draw from is the Ridley Scott helmed 'Blade Runner' and the accompanying making off 'Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner'.

Using these established rules, my nest step is the design each part found on the street and the street itself.
