My outline map of Valencia poster that you may have seen in my room tour is certainly a talking point in my room. It's simple, yet beautiful and I love that the graphic comes from the shape of the actual streets of my favourite city. I love finding beauty in things like that! Today I show you how to design your own map outline poster using screenshots from Google Maps and Adobe Illustrator. Hope you like it! And even if you're not going to make your own, I hope you enjoy seeing how I design :)
