Exercise 6 -- Map making -- The last exercise for the Quarter! Due September 26

The final exercise for the quarter will be to make a map in Adobe Illustrator.

Maps have obviously been a source of information for thousands of years.  Map making is the "world making" on a flat two dimensional surface.  The map maker is more than merely providing information, but as a designer laying out the lines and surfaces that will recreate this world for viewers.

Below are three examples of maps made in Adobe Illustrator:

1.  Disneyland Park
