America

by josh



My first map! One of the places I've always wanted to work for is National Geographic Adventure magazine....my Dad has a subscription so I was really excited to get a big assignment from them. They wanted me to make a map of the US featuring different points of interest. I had a lot of fun doing this job the entire way through and was a nice change from assignments I normally get. I've enclosed a rough layout that was sent to me, but if you click on the thumb you can see a closer version.

That looks great Josh. How big is it going to print?
If it gets printed too small, then it might be hard to read.

Great stuff at your show btw.

Oskar, It's going to print as a double page spread, about 16" wide. I should have saved it large for the blog...but...you get the picture. Good to see you at the show the other night!

are you saying my homeland can be summed up by a single moose, Josh?
