One of the most intense and multi-faceted projects I have ever completed was this map. Mr. Drake approached me with a challenge that three other designers before him had refused to accept. To celebrate his father’s 90th birthday, he wanted to take thousands of records of his father’s flight paths, with which he had flown over his lifetime, and plot them on a specialized map. After several meetings, brainstorming sessions, and late nights, I plotted his father’s flight paths successfully, put them in a color code based on the frequency of travel, and gave the map a vintage feel to fit the theme. I was then commissioned to print and frame this 2’ x 3’ map.
