Bert Monroy’s Times Square
We are thrilled not only to have Bert Monroy at Mac Computer Expo to talk about the techniques he used to create Times Square, but we also have on display a 5-foot-by-25-foot digital illustration of his New York’s Times Square creation! Every element of Times Square was meticulously created from scratch — not from photographs — using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. The 6.5-gigabyte image was built pixel by pixel, using more than 750,000 Photoshop layers.
