The document discusses creating visually appealing maps and interpretive materials in-house using Adobe Creative Suite software. It provides a case study of creating new materials for an arboretum, including a guide map. It then outlines a four step process to create the map: 1) Create a high resolution base layer from screenshots, 2) Outline the map layers in Illustrator, 3) Render the map by filling colors in Photoshop, and 4) Place items like trees onto the rendered map in Photoshop. Tools like pen tools, shape tools, and layering are utilized at each step to produce a professional quality map.
