Custom Wedding Maps

I recently completed this custom wedding map for a couple who will marry this fall.  They purchased my Birds on a Wire wedding invitations in "creamsicle" orange and I designed this map which was printed on the back of their invitation.  

I really enjoy designing maps or even just sketching a quick map on a napkin.  As a visually- oriented person I am drawn to create graphic depictions of my city and the places I visit.  As an architect, I'm interested in the spacial relationships created in urban and rural environments.   Also, maps often just look really great!  There was a tremendous exhibit of maps at the Field Museum several years ago that featured some amazing maps, check out some of the beautiful maps!

What are some of your favorite maps?
