Map exercise

This exercise was in preparation for a project. We replicated this simplified map of the Champaign-Urbana area that highlighted fun things to do on a Friday night. This was all done in Illustrator.

Some things I learned in this exercise would be how to make the double line (make a line with a thick stroke and then outline the stroke) and also using a font called Carta that has the dingbats (little images) for the highway symbols. I didn't really like this exercise because it took a long time (with all the text and icons) and felt like busy work...
