Veerle on navigation maps
Veerle once more has a nice, little article on drawing navigation maps which is a real time-saver – if you’re in illustrations, that is, and do (have to do) navigation maps from time to time:
Sooner or later you have to deal with navigation maps. That is of course if you are a graphic designer. Whether you need it for a brochure, an invitation card or website, you need to draw this in a program like Illustrator. In other words you need a vector-based application, since they give you the flexibility you need.
These kind of drawings aren’t the most creative jobs, I see them almost as a necessary evil that goes with the job.
The result of her elegant approach is great maps in no time.
