Adobe Illustrator - vector maps

Maps with Adobe Illustrator

I used Adobe Illustrator to create some black and white vector maps. I only used the pen tool to create these, I used screen grab to capture a picture of the map from Google maps and imported it in to Illustrator and then created a new layer, then I started to trace everything except the roads.

I love these and think they are very simplistic which makes them effective also the monochrome colours work very well. I will definitely be doing something like this again for 'Physcogeography' project. 

Maybe next time I will try it on a bigger map for example more streets.
