The client wanted a vintage style digital painting of two doves where the background can be changed. The doves are not being affectionate, but also not really fighting.")

The client had a photo he'd been using and decided an illustration based on the photo would suit his historical novel better.")

The map had to be reasonably accurate yet still have a hint of style reflecting the period the book is set in (1500s). Buildings representing several towns the protagonist visited needed to be included, and they had to be correct for c.1500.
Note: this was an initial run-through of the map. A later iteration had details added to Ireland, and some design tweaks.")

An original \"t\" (not from a font) placed slightly off-center within a circle, dividing the circle into three parts (the \"trifecta\").")

Pinkish-gray Italian textured paper, FaberCastell pencils and Golden Acrylics. The warmth of the paper subtly softened the artwork, creating an almost vintage illusion.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/59/59101/attachment_59101486 "The client was very specific about not ending up with a standard flat UPS delivery map. I opted for adding in ground elevation data from ArcGIS to help add graphical interest as well as useful geographical information.")

The map has been developed from an earlier design which covered a different book's story line. It now includes more than twice the land area of the previous map.
I added in a fanciful old damaged paper/hide frame, hinting at a treasure map style.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/67/67158/attachment_67158283 "The client specified a fox design with no text, had to be red. As the contest developed there proved to be a preference for designs with a wheat design incorporated. The CH asked for a tail design to be included. I've gone for something that has movement and warmth, with an emphasis on the flowing of fur.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/62/62313/attachment_62313113 "Author needed maps which would show readers locations found in his novels. Had to be in a modern clean style, uncluttered and easily read both in colour (for print) and grayscale (for some e-books).
I chose to omit many minor roads and only label a small number of major ones. Several data sources were used as rough reference for the map (Google Maps, Open Earth Data, Ordinance GIS data, NASA satellite imagery) - care was taken so that points and lines would not match the reference material, providing a unique map that was still accurate.
I won this contest but the winning entry was in grayscale for use with a Kindle - this preview is in color, which looks better in my portfolio.")
