Unique Map Creations for Any Budget
Not sure what a hand-drawn custom map might cost? No worries! I break down the different types of possibilities and their general price range.
No matter what type of map I create for you, you will walk away with high-res, printable files to print at your discretion. I provide printing recommendations such as size, paper type and even some online printer recommendations. Easy peasy.
For every commission I create, I like to start with a brief Zoom meeting to get an understanding of what you’re looking for (and unearth some great, visual memories we can use!) Just fill out my Contact Form to get started.
Mini gift maps like this one make a great, one-of-a-kind gift. Starting at only $200, we'll pick a focal point, talk about some key details and within a week you'll have a special gift without any worries about shipping or supply chains.
Like the map example shown here, we’ll select 7-8 focal points and discuss memories and stories surrounding them. You can provide photo references or I can do the image research. Finished in black and white. Color is an additional charge.
This could be something clean-looking like this map of Venice Beach or something with hand-drawn character. At this price range, we would focus mainly on one neighborhood with a simple, iconic approach to calling out your main points.
Starting at $1,500 (it’s rare that it goes above this), we’ll dive into all the details to include in your special, custom map. At this level, there’s no real limitation on what we can include but I’ll be sure to let you know if your map would benefit from being larger, or in color. Depending on complexity, adding color can be an additional $500-$1,000.
Because cities are complex places, city maps can be complex, too! I’ve created maps intended to be folded as tourism guides or wall maps that need to be vectorized and printed on a large scale (think: 10’x20’ or larger). View my map showcase to see examples of a custom city maps created as a map gift, a printed marketing tool or this one created to be printed large for inside the welcome center of a condo development.
A custom map that includes QR codes to access Augmented Reality (AR) makes the user’s experience even more memorable and educational! I’ve created several projects utilizing AR while partnering with AR company Hoverlay to create multi-faceted outdoor experiences. A custom AR channel is available at an additional cost. This will be a team experience between your marketing team, Steady Hand Maps and Hoverlay.
