Learn to think and work like a mapper of imaginary places.
The best way to explore an imaginary world is with a map. But a map is capable of so much more than charting geography. It can give an intimate look at an extraordinary time and place. Join me as we take a trip through the famous and obscure map artifacts that help define the art form and then put these new insights to use as we plan and design a personal utopia.
Here are the topics I'll be covering:
- A history of map symbols and icons.
- The fundamental elements of map design.
- How maps represent stories of the fantastic.
- How maps use metaphor.
- How to create map landscapes.
- Creating symbols, icons, and type.
- Adding 'artifact' color and texture.
This class is access to students working in digital and traditional mediums. I'm working in Clip Studio Paint for visual clarity.
