The Graphic Design II map project is a digitally illustrated map of my favorite North and Central Iowa State Parks. They include, Pilot Knob State Park near Forest City, IA, Central Gardens of North Iowa, Clear Lake State Park, McIntosh Woods State Park near Ventura, IA, and Ledges State Park near Boone, IA.
The stone structures at these parks became my inspiration along with each parks individual attractions.
Ledges State Park
Stream Walk-Peas Creek along the Canyon Road. The creek is typically ankle deep and offers a unique way for kids and families to experience the outdoors.
