Map for The Newport Beach International Boat Show - proposal illustration
Artist, Illustrator: John Potter - Escape Key Graphics
I am really honored to be a part of this boat show right from the ground up. This illustrated map was part of the proposal for a new boat show. A boat show of the same name has existed in the past at the same venue but with new management and a blank slate this is for all intents and purposes a new boat show. The web presence and further information will be dropping around the first of November and I will post an update with that information.
Update: The new site will be available at NBIBS.com
This show is in Newport Beach, California so don't confuse it with The Newport International Boat Show in Newport, Rhode Island which I also do work for.
