Design a Map of the USA in Watercolor

WDS

We are in the print industry and would like to create posters of this unique USA map for adults and children to 'scratch off' each state they visit through their travels.

This map needs to be unique and unlike any other standard maps. You do not need to place State Capitals however if you would like to try a design with them we are open to that as well.

We expect those with artistic tastes to be our customers so keep this in mind.

We are looking for someone to make a custom 'watercolor' map of the USA for us. We will be sending this map to our print team to have them produce various size glossy wall posters and also to place a gold flake coating over to produce a scratch off map. Due to this, we will need a separate file with the state names layover the take the state names and print them on top of the gold coating as well.

The map will need to be in vector format ( .eps, .ai) to allow for size reconfiguration. This is a must and any other final formats will not be accepted.

I have attached a map that we would like to mimic (not exactly) but the same idea with each state name written with state outlines and various watercolors throughout. We also need the United States of America text printed as per the uploaded design and the background to be white.

Please make the font different from the example but similar in scope.

We are open to your interpretation and ideas. Please make sure the state shapes are ~ as they appear on a standard map and not rounded or morphed into other shapes. Thanks.

This map is being created for both children and adults so keep that in mind. Thank you!
