Whether it is making a map of a city or a map of a local tourist attraction, as is the case below, there is a high level of expertise involved and it is mesmerising to see the process as a timelapse.John Potter was recently contracted by the tourist attraction, Flamingo Gardens, in Davie, Florida to redesign their visitor's map.

The style reminds us in some ways of 'Transport Tycoon' and that can only be a good thing. Read more about the project at escapekeygraphics.com/entry/118/Adobe_Illustrator_Time-Lapse_V/ and see more of John's work at escapekeygraphics.com
Perhaps a comparison with Rollercoaster Tycoon would be better... in fact, perhaps they could have made the whole map in Rollercoaster Tycoon plus edits in Photoshop.
