Theme Park Fun Map - Illustration

West Coast First Nations Land- Theme Park Fun Map.
Hey everyone, just wanted to share my final University illustration project with you. It is a theme park fun map of a BC First Nations themed land. I wanted to do something fun and colorful.The size is 11" by 13". I used Gauche paint because it is graphic and easy to manipulate. The paint is VERY opaque and dries very fast. I like the work of illustarators like SHAG and Mary Blair and decided to try my hand at their vibrant style. For those who dont know, a theme park fun map is a pamphlet given to guests at a theme park to point out the key activities and attractions. Please enjoy the pics and comments!
