Project Overview
Creating a series of maps spanning 300 years was quite a
challenge, but I started by merging three maps together in
Photoshop to establish a foundation to build my maps in Illustrator.
My goal was to illustrate the physical changes in Copenhagen’s
footprint over time, so I used bold, contrasting colors for the land
and sea. To keep the maps clear and easy to read, I added a key to
highlight important landmarks.
