Here's a cover (
above) and map I drew for this week's issue of Kansas City paper
The Pitch. The article is a
gourmet/local re-imagining of the
Country Club Plaza -- currently known for it's chain restaurants, "Spanish" architecture, "Venetian" canal, and fountain full of weird rampaging horsemen -- by the paper's food critic.
My starting point for the map:
Google map I put together of the area in question:
Some of the reference for replacement restaurants I gathered:
Rough layouts:
Pencil sketch:
Lineart, vector background, watercolor wash:
Finished map:
Cover sketch:
Lineart, white water & clouds layer, watercolor wash:
Alternate, more complex version, of the cover.
I ended up losing the bacon, BBQ, lobster, wine glass and some other stuff, but it's probably for the better
. Thanks Kansas City Pitch!
