#farm map

Dorland is a sleepy coastal farm town on the coast of a small island. The residents don’t have much to worry about day-to-day, beyond the need to plant, prune and collect the harvest. But recently goblins have been raiding the outlying farms, and they seem to become bolder by the day. Who can put a stop to the goblins’ thieving ways?

What's in the Map?

A 3049 foot world

56 rows of plain dirt

Teleporters for ease of access

A house for you and XKJGX91, the Dye Trader

A chest that contains everything you need to gather Strange Plants at maximum efficiency

If you are like me, you love getting Strange Plants and trading them in for those special dyes, but getting only 3 dyes that are randomized makes it hard to get a set of dyes for you AND your pets. This map will hopefully help that slow tickle turn into a downpour of many different dyes.

In the chest, there is:

1 Lite Shroomite Digging Claw - fastest "pick"

1 Violent Cobalt Shield  - knock back resist

1 Violent Lightning Boots - fast running

1 Magic Mirror - in case you get bored

300 Swiftness Potions - extra speed

300 Dirt Blocks - in case you accidentally break a block and reload the world

The two maps I have been developing for Alstede Farms are now complete. Alstede Farms is an agritourism business in Chester, New Jersey that features "pick your own" as well as a farm market and many other fun things to do and see.

One map highlights fields and crops that are presently available for "pick your own" and kind of a big picture overview. The map of the fields will change with the picking seasons. The second map is a close-up of the front of the farm where the farm market, garden shop and animals are. I used white space a little more creatively than usual on these map designs. I screen captured much of the process of the map’s construction and created a video from it. This is one of my first HD videos. I hope you enjoy it.

I was recently subcontracted by Belgraphix, a full service graphics shop in Fitchburg, Massachusetts to create an illustrated map for Kimball Farm in Westford, Massachusetts. Working with Belgraphix, and working in Massachusetts were both new to me, but I found I enjoy doing both. Barry Belotti from Belgraphix was always quick to answer any questions and the folks at Kimball Farm were very warm and friendly.

Kimball Farm map as a sign Kimball Farm has four locations and offers a variety of family friendly activities. The farm is well known for it's special ice cream and they tell me the lobster is great too. The farm also offers bumper boats, miniature golf, batting cages and lots more. They also host corporate events.

The map is intended for multiple uses ranging from handouts to "you are here signs" to billboards. The short term goal was to prepare the map for the new visitor's brochure.

This was a large project with lots of buildings and tiny details. The miniature golf course alone was a significant project, and I incorporated enough detail to keep the map interesting and fresh even when it is blown up very large. As usual I did all of the work in Adobe Illustrator. I made a time lapse video of the creation of the map as I worked. I hope you enjoy it.
