For the march issue 2020 of the Monocle Magazine I was asked to illustrate a map of my home country Austria. The issue was all about Austria and what you can do here. The map served as overview. As native I had full control over the icons and cities I wanted to show. The lettering was done in-house to match the style of the magazine.

1. Briefing & Sketch
Since I had full control over the map I decided to show the 9 states of Austria and their capitals aswell as a few important cities like Hallstatt or St. Anton. The icons show typical austrian food, personalities and architecture.
