GDL 1 - Antique Map


Create an antique map of Hanover.  Use the emergency exit plan photo at the bottom of this page as your reference.

Copy the map image into Illustrator to use as your reference photo.  Set the map image layer to LOCK.  Create a new layer so you can trace over the image without worrying about it moving.  Use the Pen Tool to trace all of the rooms.  Use the compass to show north, just like in the bottom left of the reference photo.  Create a repeating grid pattern over the top of your drawing.  Add the texture file linked below and adjust the opacity to give your drawing an antique feel.  Click the eye on the reference image layer to make it disappear.
