Serbia, land of the raspberry

For this assignment we were to create a map of of country for our final project. We were doing a story on an immigrant to the United States and create an info graphic highlighting their native country. My story was about a girl whose family comes from Serbia, a country in eastern Europe. When I have done projects like this in the past I have used Adobe Illustrator, so it took me a minute to get used to layering on Adobe InDesign. The trick is to trace over a photography of the country we chose. By locking the map and making it more transparent it was easy to trace over it. I then traced each country individually and the Adriatic sea. I then created an embossing effect on Serbia itself to highlight it, not just with a different color.
