The idea of illustrating a map in a fun way seemed exciting to me. I’m a lover of all things Italian, so choosing the origins of a select few types of pasta was an ideal topic. The concept for this piece was to create a fun and simple vector graphic-style map to locate the origins of five different types of pastas within Italy. The use of flat graphics allowed me to create a lot of different icons to use within the map to make it fun as well as educational.
