Discovering Glasgow Through Map Making: Custom Illustration

This illustrated map of Glasgow was my way of capturing the city’s distinctive mix of grit and grandeur. I used textured details and custom lettering to echo its industrial heritage, with a moody, cool-toned palette that felt right for the atmosphere. Landmarks like the Finnieston Crane and the West End’s architecture helped shape the layout. It was originally made to celebrate the city’s character, and the style lends itself well to editorial or cultural projects.
