A Map of Florida inspired by Pompeii

I created this map of Florida, drawing inspiration from a visit to Pompeii in October of last year. I aimed to capture the aesthetic, colors, and brush strokes reminiscent of ancient Roman art. The text uses Latin or similar styles to evoke the feeling of ancient Roman writing. I enjoy juxtaposing classical map styles with modern locations, and I hope this map conveys that blend of history and modernity.

The map was made using QGIS, Illustrator, and Procreate.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback!
