Escape Key Graphics creates high quality illustrated park maps for theme parks, nature preserves, botanical gardens, and public recreational spaces. My work includes municipal mapping projects for cities and counties, as well as maps for tourism focused attractions and privately operated destinations. Each project begins with a careful review of the park’s layout, audience, and purpose so the final map supports both practical navigation and a strong visual experience. The goal is always to produce a map that feels inviting, easy to use, and true to the character of the location.

My illustrated park maps are produced using a variety of rendering and illustration methods selected to best serve each site. These may include isometric or axonometric perspectives, more architectural views developed from three dimensional reference models, or traditional overhead maps based on geographic data. In many cases, custom spot illustrations are incorporated to highlight landmarks, amenities, and points of interest, helping visitors orient themselves quickly while adding personality and visual clarity.

Maps created by Escape Key Graphics are widely used for wayfinding by visitors, staff, and outdoor enthusiasts, as well as for marketing, planning, and site management. They are designed to work seamlessly across multiple platforms, including large format signage, websites, mobile applications, printed brochures, and visitor guides. Final map files are typically delivered with the illustrated artwork as a fixed image, while labels, legends, and graphic elements are supplied on editable layers. This approach allows clients to make simple in house updates for seasonal changes or special events without affecting the original illustration.
