How to make a City Map Poster

[@latoyagray3667]

Thank you so much!!! This is the most straightforward tutorial I have seen for making a custom minimalist map--that didn't take me hours to replicate. Well done!!!

[@sheckleberg]

I rarely comment, but this video did exactly what it was supposed to do, clear and compelling explanation and an all-around very well made tutorial.

[@ml1961]

Too cool. I started your video and was following side by side making a map of where my partner and I first met... in San Antonio! Super helpful vid!

[@bishalbomjan2854]

Thank you very very much. I was thinking to do mapping of Kathmandu City in golden colour. Your help made me to succed. Cheers

[@SpencerFarrellVisuals]

I’m glad to hear that!!

[@ZiaSunshine]

This was a great tutorial. I love how you stick to the steps and it is very easy to follow your style of teaching. You should do more videos!

[@dianag8290]

Oh my God... I rarely comment but after this video I just have to! Man, you're so good at teaching and I'm sooo so happy I found this video!! Your tutorial was so clear and easy to follow - thank you so much!

[@cats1928]

you are my hero , you just saved me one million thanks

[@kaelithompson5136]

This was insanely helpful, straight forward, and easy to do! Thanks, I have been wanting a map of my hometown for a while but was unwilling to pay $20 for a print lol. I appreciate it!

[@JohnnyZenith]

I don't understand. Mapbox is not free and requires my card details?

[@lauramacicek2594]

Very clear directions! Much appreciated. I would love to learn how to make these in the shape of a house.

[@oliviaulch1605]

Thanks Spencer, another video had AI losing its mind and crashing. This was VERY simple. THANK YOU

[@Arya-qc3fl]

Wow.. You literally save me today.. I have to make presentation for my resort in valencia.. And i was looking for the way to port map in illustrator.. Thanks for the detailed video.. 💕✨

[@phillipdorofy5149]

Really awesome video! Perfectly clear and concise. I have been wanting to do this for a long time now and didn’t know exactly how to do it. Thanks Spencer!

[@mariatreder9283]

This is one of the most helpful tutorials I've ever seen . and I've seen my fair share of them :). thank you very much. I hope you have a talent for teaching.

[@anastasiaivanova8738]

Thank you Spencer, this is very useful!

[@vermundr]

Thanks, man. I followed your video and created an 8k map layout

[@rathernotdisclose8064]

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.

[@augenio]

Just what I was looking for! Thanks a lot!

[@ramansingh165]

Love your energy

[@Movies-bm5mf]

Please make more videos on maps using Mapbox

[@bonsai5753]

What's your mic setup? The voice is perfect but there's no mic. Amazing production quality

[@imshady42]

Thank You! This is exactly what I was looking for!

[@joeloconnor34]

Thank you for the video. I am trying to make a poster for a gift to my friend but I don't want to buy it on Etsy. Also, it's more precious when I make it myself

[@GarrettMusic1]

Mint tutorial mate

[@rathernotdisclose8064]

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

[@ForkNknife1111]

Super amazing tutorial , a big thumbs up to you 🙏

Brilliant video, thanks for sharing!

[@aws7142]

Been looking the answer of this question: how do you do the land boundaries to the water, if you do white-white on land and water?

[@sudiptoghosh5453]

May the force be with you

[@drewross9554]

Man you have a hollywood voice! good for you

[@SunnyDayStyle1]

Love it! I am inspired. Has great potential for map gifts!

[@itsFarhan]

This was very useful! Can't thank you enough! You're awesome!

[@alexvega9301]

What a good tutorial thanks!!

[@kendrarobbins9872]

Super helpful! Thank you!! Can you show a quick tutorial on how you made that text box? Loving the horizontal line, but I’m a first time Ai user and a little lost on adding text. Thanks!

[@SpencerFarrellVisuals]

I’m glad you enjoyed! I’ll definitely try to make a video explaining how I made the box to clear up some confusion 👍🏻

[@avadhpatel8100]

This is what I was looking for thanks

[@walKyism]

Great Tutorial I didn't know that this website app exist, thanks to you so much for showing to all the world! ♥&♣

[@GeoCartographer]

Is there a way to add topography to this somehow?

[@MrNieciec]

Great video!

[@alycemeserve]

Awesome! Thanks, Spencer

[@faisalnurghani3568]

im having hard time finding any legal/agreements over how far can we use the maps. Do you have any clue about selling artprints based on the maps we create from Artbox?, thanks

[@alexiagomes3150]

hanks lot Sir.. You helping us..

[@chiara7774]

When creating an account I have to fill in credit card information, but I don't have one. Is there another way to use mapbox? Or is there another similar website?

[@Tina-Co]

Nice video! But I wanna know how to mark the position I have searched? Thanks.

[@ΕγώΆλλος]

Iwas wondering, if I want to make a map that has a scale 1:200. And wish to add a building that has an area 20x30 meters. How can I go about it ?

[@brittneykirkconnell7238]

Thank you for this video!!! I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this so I can make a family member a wedding gift and this is exactly what I needed!!

[@laytonrowan9172]

you all probably dont give a shit but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my account password. I love any tricks you can give me.

[@jeremiahmisael8723]

@Layton Rowan instablaster :)

[@laytonrowan9172]

@Jeremiah Misael thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@laytonrowan9172]

@Jeremiah Misael It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much you really help me out :D

[@jeremiahmisael8723]

@Layton Rowan Happy to help xD

[@davidgruty]

Great video Can you also expert SVG?

[@nadinebecause]

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.

[@Wanoiyori]

I was about to make my maps and sell these on Etsy etc but unfortunately, that is not possible right? Are there other possibilities where I can make use of my map-making skills for profit cuz getting a hospitality job in this day of age is nearly impossible

[@MegapaintballPorto]

very good tutorial. thank you

[@TheEvness]

I want the Coffee B roll!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SpencerFarrellVisuals]

Check out the “Latte: why I made this” video!

[@10Rache]

Awesome!!! Which font did you use for the title??? Looks amazing

[@SpencerFarrellVisuals]

I used a font called Biko, it should be on dafont.com if you wanna try it out!

[@ufflabceo]

Well done! Thank you ver much!!

[@emmaturner2558]

Did you make the DIY frame video?

[@yamanmurad2766]

very helpful and net explanation

[@katieneale547]

Cool! Do you know if i can sell the maps i make? What's Mapbox's position on commercial rights?

[@tlboyce90]

also wondering this. I couldn't find the usage rights on the Mapbox website. Did you figure out the answer to this?

[@opeyemidodd2029]

Hello! I just stumbled on this. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I have followed your instructions and so far, haven’t had any problems but I can’t download it. It keeps saying print export errored. Might this be because I am doing it on a MAC? Thanks

[@innercabbage]

Safari didnt work but firefox did for me.

[@abhinai]

I am only able to download the map in 72 dpi in spite of putting 400 dpi while trying to export a high res pdf/jpeg. any clue on how to do it?

[@erinjohnson5956]

This was a great tutorial! Very clear and understandable. I’m having trouble at the ‘print’ stage. After entering the same dimensions, it comes up with Print Export Error? Im not sure how to fix this?

[@mina4426]

This video is precious, love it. Thank you. Do you happen to know how to make a template file of this? Like in the same style of the Star-map constellation posters.. :(

[@nathanbgerman]

I don't have the "More options" button.

[@thomasc7992]

Thank you very much bro, really appreciate it.

[@GeoPerspective]

Wow, Illustrator is so much more intuitive than photoshop

[@johndavidthacker]

This is so helpful. Could you make your style available to us as a JSON file?

[@johndavidthacker]

Or a link to the style you created....

[@hadong602]

How kind you are~! Thanks a lot:)

[@fitriagarwal7691]

Nice piece :)

[@life-ofrylee3055]

Great video! Do you know how I would make the water and roads transparent at all? My land mass is black but I don’t want to print the white roads (I have a WT laser so it will print white.

[@chrishd84]

You can edit that out in AI or in your RIP software

[@WillyMakend]

Great Thanks you, Very helpful......

[@rigelr5345]

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.

[@TheMehmetsenkaya]

Well done bro!

[@Oliver_Wersin]

Much Love

[@majmunce4726]

So do shops that sale map posters generate it via sites like this and then just sell it? Is that legal?

[@kristyb39]

Awesome. Have been looking for a site where I could make different color maps to print. Could find ANYTHING that was fir art, not cartographers or engineers.

[@Matchalover2003]

But how do you get a vintage look

[@robinnnn8586]

Great, thanks x

[@dunekahlau-burger1256]

Awesome Video! Thanks

[@xozLPx]

Awesome!

[@dawnmski]

Anyone know if you can print this as a photo? The size I want to print is only available in photo but not poster...or is there a place you recommend printing?

[@EasyMerchMoney]

Awesome tutorial. But is it perfect for printing?

[@bdbapao3504]

Hey, thank you soooo much! Just what I was looking for! Just checking in if you still reply. :p

[@shivammandal2484]

Great! Thank you so much!

[@danives3487]

What printer would you recommend for this type of print

[@weefunkster]

I like about 3 videos per year and spend about 8 hrs per day on youtube, enjoy the boost

[@iFrezzyyyyy]

U should show how to make 3D maps

[@JJ-zm3uq]

Whats the font u used for the name of the city in illustrator?

[@jadefernandes5667]

Tried exporting the map. But it keeps failing. Any suggestions?

[@stevenpoke2367]

Any idea of the copyright status of map posters made using this method? Can they be sold?

[@MsPriincesse69]

Same question : 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? :) Pleaaase can you answer :( thank you

[@GAMEOVERHACKER]

Thank you very much!

[@narmeenkassabri5771]

hii i have a problem, I CANT EXPORT MY MAP
