Illustrated Map of the Miami Yacht Show
Client: Informa Markets

Z Card from FLIBS 2020 as an exampleThis illustrated map was created for the 2020 Miami International Boat Show and represents a refined continuation of the event’s visual language. Developed from a detailed digital three dimensional model, the map centers on the primary show locations at Venetian Marina and One Herald Plaza while also providing clear orientation to the Superyacht Miami Show on Watson Island, widely known as Yacht Haven Grande. Presenting these venues together helps visitors quickly understand how the different parts of the show connect across Miami’s waterfront. Docks and access ramps are labeled directly on the map, show features are marked with numbered yellow indicators, and essential amenities are identified using clear, consistent icons. Streets and sponsor placements are integrated seamlessly into the illustration, while shuttle routes, Water Taxi service, and VIP tender access are communicated through a straightforward visual system.
The map was produced as part of a coordinated set of five maps included in the official show program, with page layout also completed by me. It was adapted for use across digital platforms, on site signage, and promotional materials. For an event of this scale, an effective wayfinding map is essential. In addition to helping guests move confidently through the show, it conveys a high level of organization and professionalism that supports the overall quality and reputation of the event.
The 2020 Miami International Boat Show map of Venetian Marina and One Herald Plaza as well as a detail of the pavilion on site, transportation map and Superyacht Miami map were included on a large folding map printed by Z-CARD.
