Trail Maps
During the COVID-19 lockdown in early 2021, I decided to start creating maps of the UK’s national and long-distance trails as a way of exploring the country whilst being shut away inside my flat for weeks on end. The aim of the project was to create a collection of modern, infographic-style 18 x 24-inch prints that all shared a minimalist aesthetic and restrained 2-colour palette with 3 variations. Despite the minimalist aesthetic, the maps are densely packed with information that includes landscape features such as lakes, hills and mountains, cities, towns, and villages, as well all key points of interest along the route which are marked with numbered circles and listed alphanumerically to one side.
This is an ongoing project which I’ll continue to add to as long as there are trails to map!
