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!!!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.. 💕✨
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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!
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!!
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.
@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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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
great video, I'm creating a custom map and I need only streets without their name. After created the map and remove the labels, it was imposable to remove the streets name...can you please help me!? :(
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.. :(
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!!!
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.
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!
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!
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!
Thank you very very much. I was thinking to do mapping of Kathmandu City in golden colour. Your help made me to succed. Cheers
I’m glad to hear that!!
you are my hero , you just saved me one million thanks
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.
Thanks Spencer, another video had AI losing its mind and crashing. This was VERY simple. THANK YOU
Is there a way to add topography to this somehow?
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!
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!
I don't understand. Mapbox is not free and requires my card details?
Very clear directions! Much appreciated. I would love to learn how to make these in the shape of a house.
I don't understand. Mapbox is not free and requires my card details?
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.. 💕✨
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?
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, man. I followed your video and created an 8k map layout
You don't need to click the "+" -- just click anywhere on the menu item. Small thing but its a mild QOL increase imo.
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
Totally amazed by the tutorial, so helpful and yet very informative.
I don't understand. Mapbox is not free and requires my card details?
Love your energy
good work king, love you
Thanks for the awesome tutorial !!
Thank you Spencer, this is very useful!
I don't have the "More options" button.
Thank you very much for this simple, intuitive and accessible tutorial!
Thank You! This is exactly what I was looking for!
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
What's your mic setup? The voice is perfect but there's no mic. Amazing production quality
Mint tutorial mate
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
You are my angel~!!! I was looking for this. Thank you very much-!!!!♡
May the force be with you
Super amazing tutorial , a big thumbs up to you 🙏
Hello dear friend .. Thank you for the extraordinary training. If possible, please share the training for making the night sky .. Thank you
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 ?
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?
that was where my journey ended
Thank you! I was gonna draw the map on illustrator!
This was very useful! Can't thank you enough! You're awesome!
Just what I was looking for! Thanks a lot!
Love it! I am inspired. Has great potential for map gifts!
awesome stuff! Thanks a lot! Helpful and straight forward!
But how do you get a vintage look
SOOO helpful Spencer! Thank you. Sub'd!
I don't understand. Mapbox is not free and requires my card details?
Brilliant video, thanks for sharing!
hey great vid! clearly stated the steps. helps a lot. cheers!
I don't understand. Mapbox is not free and requires my card details?
Great video!
Did you make the DIY frame video?
Please make more videos on maps using Mapbox
How do I zoom/crop in?
Man you have a hollywood voice! good for you
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?
So do shops that sale map posters generate it via sites like this and then just sell it? Is that legal?
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.
Awesome! Thanks, Spencer
Nice video! But I wanna know how to mark the position I have searched? Thanks.
Nice piece :)
What a good tutorial thanks!!
Cool! Do you know if i can sell the maps i make? What's Mapbox's position on commercial rights?
also wondering this. I couldn't find the usage rights on the Mapbox website. Did you figure out the answer to this?
Great Tutorial I didn't know that this website app exist, thanks to you so much for showing to all the world! ♥&♣
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!
I’m glad you enjoyed! I’ll definitely try to make a video explaining how I made the box to clear up some confusion 👍🏻
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!!
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.
@Layton Rowan instablaster :)
@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.
@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
@Layton Rowan Happy to help xD
Great video. Thank you so much!
Whats the font u used for the name of the city in illustrator?
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.
Tried exporting the map. But it keeps failing. Any suggestions?
this helps me a ton, thank you!
Awesome!!!
Which font did you use for the title??? Looks amazing
I used a font called Biko, it should be on dafont.com if you wanna try it out!
Well done bro!
Any idea of the copyright status of map posters made using this method? Can they be sold?
is there a cost to use mapbox? all i can see is pricing for api's for websites
why the crop button cant appear in my Illustrator bro? or anyone can help?
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.
You can edit that out in AI or in your RIP software
How do you get all teh street names?
Great video
Can you also expert SVG?
hii
i have a problem, I CANT EXPORT MY MAP
I like about 3 videos per year and spend about 8 hrs per day on youtube, enjoy the boost

Wow, Illustrator is so much more intuitive than photoshop
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?
This is what I was looking for thanks
This was a great tutorial! Very clear and understandable.
