Final Map

The site spanned some acreage, so I chose an isometric view to capture as much of the event as possible. I did my best to maintain artistic continuity with the poster.

Goals and challenges

With less than two months to deliver, I created an illustrative image of the new Light Rail and Lynnwood surroundings. Approval required input from both the Chamber of Commerce and SNOTRAC, so I was navigating multiple stakeholders. I was given loose, playful inspiration to work from, which I translated into celebratory, approachable imagery that felt fun and engaging.

Creative process

After SNOTRAC shared the inspiration and overall vibe for the event, I explored concepts that balanced community-focused scenes with light rail–driven imagery. The process included experimenting with playful, childlike visuals and ultimately landing on hand-drawn, illustrative work.
