Using Maps to Convey Information

I contract with an excursion company that does not have a physical address; Instead, we have a mobile office. But for one of our excursions we do consistently meet in the same spot, however, my boss tells me that guests are always confused by it, so, she asked me to create a map.

I read this great article on one illustrator's map designing process. Then I searched through quite a few tutorials (ex. http://inkscapetutorials.org/?s=pen) and youtube videos on the open source alternative to Adobe Illustrator. I also got to learn about the open source map data provider Open Street Map. All in all this was a fun, simple project to learn how to use the software and build a map that will hopefully help clear our guests doubts about where to go for their tour.

I'm still awaiting approval, we'll perhaps change some of the colors and text, but this is the general idea.
