Illustrated Map 2
CD2/ Spring 2022
Objective
Using Adobe Illustrator, create an illustrated map of a place you are familiar with (this can be someplace real, fictional, close to you, or far away). The map should have at least 6 distinct landmarks.
Notes
For this project, I decided to make an illustrated map inspired by the video game Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. The map in the game itself is much broader, which pushed me to pick the more visually interesting landmarks to include in my design. After experimenting with colors, my final color palette for this map consisted of blues, oranges, greens, red and white.
Elements
For each of these elements, I started off using basic shapes such as rectangles, circles, and triangles. I then used Adobe Illustrators tools to manipulate them to get my desired designs.
