After Closing Time: The Roll-Up Door Side

A shopping street at late night. Most shops have pulled down their roller shutters, transforming the street facade from transparent glass during the day into a row of metal planes, with completely changed textures, colors, and patterns: some are plain dark gray, some have horizontal corrugated patterns, some are graffitied, and some are printed with shop names. Due to the varying colors and heights of the roller shutters, the street's facade appears more cluttered at night than during the day. A few shops that are still open become the only sources of light and activity. Streetlights are on, and the display lights in the windows of a few still-lit shops create a rhythm. Traces from the daytime remain on the ground. Avoid: depicting the closed street as transparent like during the day, making all roller shutters uniform in color and height, eliminating graffiti and signs of use, depicting the street as completely deserted and dark.

一條商店街的深夜狀態。大部分店家已經拉下鐵捲門,街道的界面從白天的通透玻璃變成一整排的金屬平面,質感、顏色與圖案完全改變:有的是素面的深灰、有的有橫向的浪板紋、有的被塗鴉、有的印著店名。因為捲門的顏色與高度不一,整條街的立面在夜間比白天更雜亂。少數幾家仍然營業的店成為僅有的光源與活動點。街燈亮著,櫥窗的展示燈仍然亮著的幾家形成節奏。地面上有白天遺留的痕跡。避免:把打烊的街道畫成與白天一樣通透、讓所有捲門的顏色與高度統一、消除塗鴉與使用痕跡、把街道畫成完全無人無光。
