<p>Made in <a href="http://www.mapbox.com/tilemill">TileMill</a> (which I read about on the <a href="http://www.routelines.com/about.php">Routelines about page</a> — thanks to Tod Robbins for telling me about it).</p>
<p>I took the Census Bureau’s shapefiles for Utah County, imported them into TileMill, styled the lines a little, and exported to SVG. Then I imported it into Illustrator, applied a thin pencil brush (it’s not very noticeable, honestly), exported to PNG, pulled it into Photoshop, and added some color and texture. Voila: the roads of Utah County.</p><hr class="feed-extra" style="margin-top: 48pt;" /><p class="feed-extra feed-mail"><a href="mailto:ben.crowder@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20Utah County roads">Reply via email</a></p>]]></description>
