To call attention to type labels on your map, consider placing them in a custom call-out box.
But not just any box will do. Place labels in boxes painted with Adobe Illustrator’s visual effects to help them stand out, or above, other details on the map.
Chambers of Commerce can create and publish their own maps. They have the sales staff, artists, and printers among their members. They just need a mapmaker. That’s where we fit in.

The Frisco Parks and Recreation Department in Frisco, Texas, contacted us about producing a system map showing their many resources. This public map included community, neighborhood, and special-use parks, facilities, and trails and greenways. The map was built from current geographic (GIS) data procured from the city; this guaranteed that city street and feature information was current and accurate.
Maps for resorts must be colorful, clear, and inviting. The resort map is a key ingredient in hospitality. We make different styles of resort maps. Each map is customized to the resort.

Ford Motor Company has been playing a television ad for the past few months. In it, Ford points to the international flavor of the developers of its 2013 Ford Escape SUV. View the commercial on YouTube here: Ford Escape Hands-Free Liftgate Commercial.
