CREATIVE STATEMENT
Rod Hunt is a London, UK based map illustrator specialising in detailed illustrated isometric maps and plans for school campuses, theme parks, events, parks and cities.
With 30 years experience as an illustrated map designer he’s created maps for clients worldwide including schools, universities, sporting events, theme parks, tourism brands and more. His love of detailed maps was fuelled by theme park and tourist attraction maps from his childhood. Rod's own maps are usually very detailed adding layers of humour and interest often populated with little characters and easter eggs to entertain the viewers as well as inform. Clarity of navigation is essential ahead of the detail, the London Underground Map is great example of distilling a map down to its essential elements by simplifying the geography, it’s often on Rod's mind when working on a visual approach for a new map project.

Q&A
What is your most memorable vacation spot?
I have a great love for Morocco having taken a dozen trips to the country and traveled extensively to it’s cities, mountains and deserts. Also you need good maps when travelling especially when you’re off-roading 200km away from civilisation in the Western Sahara.
What is your favorite mode of transportation?
Walking. I always say if you want to know a city walk city. You’ll discover so much more and get a greater flavour of a city if you take the time to walk it.
Which do you prefer: mountains, desert, beach, or forest?
Although I have a great love for the Moroccan desert on balance forests win for me, surrounded by green and animals gives me a greater connection to nature.
