Illustrated Map of San Francisco

Project type: editorial illustration, map illustration

Project details: Custom illustrated map of San Francisco for a private client. The map is customized to include meaningful landmarks to the client and his spouse across the city of San Francisco.

The map’s design contains loose geographical accuracy, and but each landmark is more so meant to surprise, delight, and entertain. We used depictions of storefronts and signage to literally depict some landmarks, while others a represented by an item personal to the client like a plate of food, type of wine, or a meaningful event that happened in that place. Icons of San Francisco are scattered in the background like the colorful homes, trolleys, and palm trees to ensure the map looks and feels like San Francisco.
