Recreate Historical Political Maps
Summary
Freelancer Client is hiring: Recreate Historical Political Maps.
Location: Remote
I have between six and ten existing political maps that need to be redrawn so they look clean and consistent for inclusion in a forthcoming history book. The originals show borders and a few key towns, but otherwise remain fairly minimal; I want to keep that simple style while making them publication-ready.
Please provide each finished map as a high-resolution digital file—JPEG or PNG is fine. Every map must clearly display:
labels for all towns and borders exactly as they appear in the originals
distinct colour coding for each region so the borders read at a glance
a small, unobtrusive legend or key that matches the book’s typographic style
Skills: Graphic Design, Typography, Illustration, Cartography & Maps, Adobe Illustrator, Digital Art, Print Design, Vector Design
Budget: $30–$250 USD

Original
I have between six and ten existing political maps that need to be redrawn so they look clean and consistent for inclusion in a forthcoming history book. The originals show borders and a few key towns, but otherwise remain fairly minimal; I want to keep that simple style while making them publication-ready.
Please provide each finished map as a high-resolution digital file—JPEG or PNG is fine. Every map must clearly display:
• labels for all towns and borders exactly as they appear in the originals
• distinct colour coding for each region so the borders read at a glance
• a small, unobtrusive legend or key that matches the book’s typographic style
I will supply scans of the source maps along with a short style guide (font, palette, page size). All maps should share the same dimensions and visual language so they sit together on adjacent pages without looking pieced together.
Deliverables
1. 6–10 final map images (JPEG/PNG, 300 dpi minimum)
2. The editable working file for each map (PSD, AI or similar)
3. A brief style sheet noting colours and fonts used
Acceptance Criteria
• Borders line up accurately with the originals when overlaid at 100 %
• Town names are spelled and placed correctly
• Colours remain distinguishable in both print and greyscale e-book versions
• Legend/key is legible at 9 pt type on an A5 page
Let me know your estimated turnaround time once you’ve seen the sample scans, and feel free to share any relevant mapping or cartography work from your portfolio.
