I began drawing out maps after collecting from the storyline the key locations required. I chose to base it on Oxfordshire as I think it has an interesting shape and is relevant to the plot. I started by drawing out the county, and then adapted it roughly to the required geography – e.g. coast, hills etc. I planned a tile system to be easy to make on a4 paper and be widescreen-ratio friendly. I chose a portrait map instead of landscape to break away from the boxy feel, with benefits being space around it to decorate.
