Anna Sinnons's mapping illustrations

Anna Simmons is an illustrator who specialises in mapmaking，I found her mapping works on the Pretty Nostalgic Magazine. She did maps of London; South West of England; Scotland; England of which are colourful, iconic, and interesting cartoon maps. I feel really in her maps and then i find her online portfolio website. http://cartographic.org.uk/Cartographic/about.html

After visite her website i found more her mapping works which gave me a lot of inspirations for my all work.  I like use illustration form to present my graphic design work. I think good illustrations  can give us visual enjoyment and can tell its stories because most of it basics on the real life , the real objects and it has many details so it may give audiences some familiar feeling even more imaginations.

This LA mapping is my favorite, i like the gradient purple background while i do not know what it is? Personally, i think she did really magic and interesting map for a casino city... sometimes i feel it is like a board game,   sometimes i think it is a children's drawing, because it is makes me relaxed.
