When National Geographic was planning a book, called Best of the World: 1,000 Destinations of a Lifetime, the editors contacted me to ask if I would interested in working on a series of maps. They would relate to 5 different Best Road Trips featured in the book: Nature, Family, Adventure, Culture and Cities. Needless to say, I was thrilled at the opportunity — it was quite literally a dream come true! I had an amazing experience working with the team, and all of us were delighted with how the maps turned out. I look forward to collaborating with them on future projects.
The base of each map began as a watercolor painting, which I then digitized and modified in Photoshop. I used Procreate for iPad to illustrate all the icons.
