Designing a map does not seem like something very original, but why should maps have to be boring? Whether it’s a town map, a real or imaginary country map, whether it is functional, or simply decorative, there is plenty of room for fun and creativity in this field.
Fortunately some great designers out there have created some colorful and beautiful maps that don’t look boring at all.
Colorful, pastel, minimalist or very detailed, in this article, I’ve rounded up some of those maps in very different styles for your inspiration. Enjoy the tour.
