Born Free safari maps 1 [commission]

[J.Edward]

Back in 2015 I did a series of maps for the well reviewed photo safari company, Born Free.
The focus was predominantly the parks in each country, but there was also a desire for the feel I was creating in my fantasy maps as well.

The original design brief stated watercolor and gave a very simple style.
But, as often happens, clients change their minds. Thus the style changed.
Thus the style became somewhat more complicated.
I came up with a simplified way of rendering the terrain so it would be consistent across the series.
In total, it was six maps. Kenya was the first and set the tone.
Tanzania followed that map and fully solidified the style.
I put them together here for the purpose of brevity on other sites, but I'll use the single image here too.
