John Brack has used dull mainly consisting of black, brown and dirt yellow colour. He has used a very limited palette of colours. There was lots of repetition used in this painting: The people in the middle, the hats of the people in the front, the curved top windows and the rectangles. The picture also lots of space between the front and the back. The structure of the painting is very orderly and even. The painting was painted very thinly and carefully and outlined and clear.
John Brack has used lots of straight and simple lines. He used shapes like rectangles and squares, the repetition of the arch windows and the straight trunk of the tree.
When John Brack thought that the routine of the people from 9-5 on Collins Street was going to be boring but he saw people rushing to catch the train or tram after work. He wanted to show the idea of boringness in his painting and he showed it by the calmness of the people and the dull colour used.

Eveline Syme used linocut and printed it in colour from 3 blocks: vermillion, viridian and burnt umber. These colours are very plain and fill every block with the same colour with no changes.
Eveline Syme used lots of simple lines like in the houses, trees, and road. This was simple like his colours. This make the picture look simple and clear.
The print was just a cityscape of trams and cars on New South Head Road in Double Bay at
