Producing an Informative Map In Perspective with Illustrator

We're going to illustrate a map. A fairly simple directive, but before we go any further we need to establish why we're illustrating it. By illustrating we're going to give the final product personality, flair, a bit of life - we're going to hope that the user is drawn into it, attracted to it and once we have their attention - that they can use it. In producing this map we're not only illustrating, but also designing information graphics; finding that age-old balance between form and function.
