Twilight and New Moon Character Map
This is a semi-fictional charcter map of the movements of the main characters Twilight Franchise. The "map" was completley hand draw, with roads, towns, and rivers being refrenced from the real world and points being created based of events in the movies.
Project Details / Background
This project was for my Advanced Cartography class in which we were tasked with creating a narrative map that told a visual story and led the viewing thoughout the page and told a story. I had chosen to do a movie map after viewing maps by Andrew DeGraff and his hand drawn movie maps.I felt to make the best movie map it should be a movie I was familar with, so I did my lifelong favorite movie series Twilight.
This map was a very different process than any map I had made before. I made this map or image almost entirely in Procreate, a drawing software avaible for Mac products. I first took screenshots of the real life toens and roads and stiched themtogether in a way that would allow me to get a semi accurate road and river layout from Forks to La Push. This took many drafts but eventually I got a someone accurate, or least reconizable depiction of the roads. I took a mini map that was made for the Illistrated Guide of the Twilight series and used that to pin point where the fictional places in the town would be located. I drew an accompanied structure or scene for each point on the map and then drew lines to indicated where each character went. I think this is a intresting porject I took on, and I learned a lot along the way, specifically in the way colors are depicted on different screens and programs. For this map the colros looked perfect while I was drawing them on my iPad, but when exported to Illistrator for the text elements the colors drastically changed.
