Life Maps: A Map for Mel
Did you know that we can create a stunning illustrated map to celebrate your anniversary or wedding, with hand-drawn illustrations of the venues or special locations, featured on a beautiful graphic map of the area?
Mel was looking to commission something uniquely meaningful to celebrate her Tin Wedding Anniversary, after being happily married for 10 Years to her husband, Pete. Mel had spotted The Ale Trail map we created for Stockton-On-Tees, and wondered if we would be able to create a bespoke Wedding Anniversary Map for her. After chatting for a little while, we settled on the idea of creating an illustrated map of the North-East of England, featuring five locations of significance to Mel and her husband.
From Whitby Abbey (their brilliant wedding venue) to the front doors of the places they'd called home over the years, we drew each of these locations carefully from the reference photographs provided by Mel. We took extra care to try and capture the essence of each of these locations in our trademark style, before incorporating them into the overall composition.
“It is beautiful! I’m so glad I chose you...I can’t wait to show my husband!”
We always want our clients to be totally satisfied with any bespoke artwork we create for them, and that's why we always send a digital proof of the artwork for our clients to provide feedback on before printing. We were more than happy to tweak and refine Mel's Anniversary Map until she was 100% happy with the finished piece. The illustration was then printed as a one-of-a-kind Giclee, on Hahnemuhle German Etching archival paper, using fade-resistant inks. As with all our commissions, it was hand-signed and delivered first-class.
