A custom illustrated map for the SYBAss area at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show
Client: SYBAss (Superyacht Builders Association)
For all the latest information on SYBAss please visit their site at SYBAss.org.
If you are interested in hiring me to create an original map or illustration for you please contact me.

This map, like most of my boat show maps, is built on a digital three dimensional model. I created this particular model back in 2013. It covers this area of downtown Fort Lauderdale, including Bahia Mar, Swimming Hall of Fame, Las Olas Marina and the neighboring buildings and streets.
Each year I update the model with the new locations of floating docks and exhibitor spaces. I render it from the desired angle, then retouch and refine in Photoshop. Finally I add the logos, map key, and all other graphics in Adobe Illustrator.
SYBAss, which stands for Superyacht Builders Association, wanted their own version of the main show map I created for Informa Markets. They asked for a slightly stripped down version focused specifically on their area.
Because I already had the updated three dimensional model, this was a straightforward request. Normally having a model to work from means I can change the angle, zoom level, or field of view to create a completely custom view. But this year the client was happy with the existing angle and layout. They just wanted their own version of the map.
I checked with Informa to make sure this was acceptable and they had no objections. So I produced a clean version of the map tailored to SYBAss needs.
If you need a map for a boat show, an event, or any other venue that requires clear, detailed, and visually consistent navigation, contact me. I have done this work before and I would be glad to do it for you.
