Maps, Maps, Maps!

While researching for our new "Foundation Year at Parsons: 2W13" project today, I came across these hand-illustrated maps done by a Canadian illustrator named Marisa Seguin. She mapped many cities such as Vancouver, Venice, Paris, San Francisco, and Milwaukee. What drew me to these maps was her colorful use of watercolors as well her interesting "flat" symbol-shapes. The typography gives the maps a handcrafted feel and I really like the artsy quality of these maps, especially the one of Paris - the color combination in that one is just gorgeous!
