Sosian

We’ve just spent the last few months designing, building and illustrating a beautiful new site for Sosian Lodge and Ranch.

Illustrated maps

We chose an illustrated approach to capture Sosian’s history, beauty, and adventure. We focused on two maps: one of the area, and one of the lodge.

It would be foolhardy to actually navigate the expanse of Sosian using our map. But it shows potential visitors what adventures await across the conservancy.

Though hand-drawn in style, the map is digital, so it can be printed large and updated as the lodge evolves.

Hand-drawn sketches

We were keen to let the map’s style permeate throughout the site, so we took illustrations from the map (another advantage of a digitally-drawn map) and used them throughout the website.

It’s a delicate balance using traditional (style) illustration on a website, and technically it also throws up challenges, but when it’s done subtly, we think that it adds a huge amount of character to a brand.

A seamless blend between design, illustration and development

Silverless’ ability to produce these maps and illustrations in-house (as well as both designing and building websites in-house) means that there’s no backward and forwards between illustrators and designers to get things right. The process is much pretty seamless, and the end result more harmonious and natural.

Bringing several of our in-house capabilities to bear on a project is what we love to do best, so get in touch if you’d like us to work on your brand, whether it’s illustration, maps, websites or a stunning brochure.
