  • Long time no see! In this video, I teach you guys how to make a City Map Poster for your room or house using Mapbox and Adobe Illustrator. In the coming weeks, I am going to make a video on how to make DIY frames to hang these up on your wall.
    I will continue to upload design, photo, other visuals, and random life videos to this channel. Whatever I feel like making :) I look forward to making videos and sharing my skills and story, peace!

    @nadinebecause Před 3 lety +1

    Thank you. That is an interesting video and method of working. The only remark I have is that you could have done it in Photoshop or InDesign as it is not vector graphics. Sometimes illustrator makes the file heavier and might not be the best choice for sending a poster to print, unless it's a vector image.

  • @mina4426

  • @rathernotdisclose8064
    @rathernotdisclose8064 Před 3 lety +5

    Don't bother doing override opacity crap. Just click the filter icon at the top when youre in the layers section. Type "label" in the filter. Deactivate (hide) everything with the word label in it (at the time of making this comment, the hotkey for hide is "V" once you've selected an item in the menu)
    If you can't find the filter icon, look at 6:36 up at the top left of the screen. It aays 70/70 next to it. That icon is the filter.

    Thanks Spencer! Great video.
    I guess I will win a trofee with the simplest question of the month of June: I want to show all the buildings in my little village (fill in black color). I see them when I zoom in to the village (zoom=16), but when i zoom out, to 14 or 12, i lost the buildings and can't see them anymore. There must be a simple solution for it. But unfortunately I can't find it.
    Do you know how I can see the buildings while I zoom out the map? :)

    You don't need to click the "+" -- just click anywhere on the menu item. Small thing but its a mild QOL increase imo.

  • @rigelr5345
    @rigelr5345 Před rokem

    So this Mapbox software which is apparently used to make these map posters with Illustrator - how can I know if it's free for commercial use for an Etsy shop? I can't figure it out from their website, only if it's a mobile app or something because they count by users or something. This stuff always gets sooo confusing when I get into the specifics, and no one ever cover the specifics in YT videos. So I always end up giving up because I'm too scared to violate copyright laws etc.
