I wanted to do a more modern map in the style of Grand Theft Auto. I love the colors of the GTA maps. This map is 24 inches in actual size, I also wanted to make it a suitable size for printing, perhaps for use in RPG campaigns or something like that. The map is available for purchase, I figure you can PM me since I don't know the rules on that.

I started making the main roads in Illustrator so I could get smooth connections, sizing, and the double stroke. Once I had the main roads, I added the smaller pathways and parking lots, then I added in the buildings. Both of those I did in Photoshop since I work quicker there. Last thing, I added the grid overlay. I debated on whether or not to add that, since the map is pretty busy already. All in all, this took me about 4 hours to complete last night.
