Cape Horn, South America and Antarctica

[J.Edward]

This is so good Filippo
I absolutely love this piece.
Once again, you've created a real treasure there.
Good font choice, everything is readable, placement is good, color choices are good.
Even the angles of all the inset illustrations are right.
Gonna post this to FB today.

This is absolutely amazing work. Puts the 'art' in cARTtography.

A fantastic piece of work. This is National Geographic quality stuff.

Just a couple of very minor nitpicks: The local name for Cape Horn is Cabo de Hornos; Isla de Hornos refers to the landmass itself.

Also, the area labbeled as Hielo Continental is called Campos de Hielo Sur (Southern Ice Fields).

Otherwise, it's perfect!

My oh my now this is a treat! The illustrations are technically brilliant, and the layout/composition is spot on (as J. has already mentioned). Your client ought to be suitably pleased with final result. I'd say you nailed the project specs perfectly. Amazing work.

Cheers,

That's a beautiful map ! You definitely hit the bullseye, it's very NationalGeocraphic-y ! The mix of info graphics, illustration and map really works and brings this piece to life. Congrats !

Thank you.
If you are talking about the proportions and "globe" angle of it, I used Google Earth to get the right composition, screencaptured, printed, and traced for the gross shape/proportions of the land masses.
I then worked my way with pencils, so some geographical accuracy was lost.

Can you walk thru the 'used google earth' steps? How did you get the panoramic-bird's eye-perspective to 'bend' the sAmerica land mass to your preference? The globe isn't shaped like that. I am attempting the very same thing. Thank you for any direction (smile).

Very best.
