Status Report - HERO: Week of 02.08
![Everything's slowly coming together.](../img/15-02-08-status_img01.png)
I've spent the past two weeks continuing to design exteriors and signage for the shopping district. About a dozen more buildings need exteriors and about fifty need signage.

I like to experiment with different types of exterior treatments, so the buildings have a greater variety of designs than might ordinarily be found. This also adds visual interest to the environments instead of having all plain and flat surfaces.

As seen before, some of the branding plays with businesses that exist in the real world, a staple of anime works. More of this will continue for the next several weeks.
