Mermaid Cove is a project from a digital illustration course. The prompt was to create a map of any kind. Since mermaids were a huge part of my childhood interests, the choice seemed obvious. This map is intended to be used within a children’s book. Due to this purpose, important information such as objects and labels are not placed in the center of the image, since this is where the pages would be folded and bound. As far as process, I began drawing a notan thumbnail within Procreate, then built out the map with colors in Adobe Illustrator.
