I designed and illustrated this map in assignment by the communal organisation Region Aachen. It shows the German part of the Euregio-Maas-Rhein, centered around Aachen, in the west of Northrhine-Westphalia (Germany).
It contains several touristic and cultural highlights of this region, like the Dom in Aachen. These cultural "icons" were handdrawn and combined in photoshop. For the typography on the map I used Pinto (facetype) and Daft Brush (pintassilgoprints)
Please contact me if you are interested in a printed copy of the map!
