Case Study:
I created a cohesive illustration series exploring the intersection of cartography and the natural world. Guided by a brief focused on the interdependence between nature and human observation, the project merges forest animals, trees, and terrain with topographic textures and mapping patterns.
Each of the three vector illustrations was designed with clean yet organic lines, balanced composition, and a unified color palette, allowing them to function as both standalone pieces and a connected visual system.
Built entirely in Adobe Illustrator, the project emphasizes thoughtful visual storytelling through simplicity and symbolic texture. From concept to execution, the series reflects how design can reveal complex relationships between land, life, and the ways we chart our place within it.
