Cartographer Needed to Create Reusable Stylized Static Maps in Mapbox

Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I am an interior architectural designer seeking a cartographic designer or Mapbox Studio specialist to create a polished, reusable map style for the cover sheets of my architectural design drawing sets. I would like the maps to be eye catching. These maps will be used as presentation-quality graphics for residential and commercial design projects. I am looking for a refined, minimal style that complements a clean architectural presentation. This is not for an interactive website map. The goal is to create a reusable Mapbox Studio template that I can update for future projects by changing the address, map center, and zoom level, then export as high-resolution static images for use in Adobe InDesign. The desired aesthetic is a sophisticated grayscale map with contrast and limited accent colors, such as muted green or muted blue for water where appropriate. Roads, neighborhoods, city labels, water, parks, and major geographic elements should be balanced and visually clear without feeling cluttered. The project location should be identified with a professional custom marker or pin. Typography is important to me as well. My brand font is Montserrat, set to 80% text width, and I would like the map labels to use this styling wherever possible. The final deliverable should include: * A clean, presentation-quality grayscale base map * Restrained accent colors that can be adjusted if needed * Clear but minimal labels for cities, neighborhoods, roads, and relevant landmarks * Montserrat typography set to 80% text width wherever possible * A professional custom location marker or pin * A clear visual hierarchy so the project location remains the focal point * Two reusable map views for each project: one neighborhood/context view and one wider city/regional view * A reusable workflow that allows me to update the address, map center, and zoom level for future projects * High-resolution static map exports suitable for printed drawing-set cover sheets * Brief instructions explaining how to reuse the style and export a new map, along with a screen recording showing how to update the template for a new address I use Adobe InDesign to assemble my drawing sets, so the exported maps should work well in a print layout. I can also provide examples of the visual style I am trying to achieve. Please include examples of previous Mapbox Studio styling, cartographic design, or presentation-quality mapping work in your proposal. Please also let me know whether you recommend building this directly in my Mapbox account or transferring the completed style after approval.
