Maps have been a source of information for thousands of years. Map making is the "world making" on a flat two dimensional surface. The map maker is more than merely providing information, but as a designer, laying out the lines and objects that will recreate a world for viewers.
Below are two examples of maps made in Adobe Illustrator:
1. Reid Park Zoo
