Map Development
This gallery highlights the development of my London map, from initial tracing to the final artwork. I began by collating multiple Google Maps screenshots and combining them into one large reference map. From this base, I traced the city’s key features — rivers, roads, parks, and districts — using different line weights to distinguish major and minor roads. Each district was layered individually, allowing me to experiment with separate colour treatments. The process concluded with refining colour palettes, adding text, and balancing visual emphasis across the map’s elements.
Final Thoughts
This project allowed me to deepen my Photoshop skills while combining my love of travel and urban design. I enjoyed exploring how to interpret city layouts artistically and translate geographical structure into visually engaging compositions. It also taught me how to balance accuracy with aesthetics — creating maps that are both informative and beautifully designed.
