There was a time in recent American history when people depended on paper road maps. But the spread of GPS technology has changed that probably forever. While few Americans use paper maps today, states still make them. And maybe that is not such a bad idea. Bruce Hull is a road map designer for the American state of Ohio. Hull’s maps are unlike others you may have seen. For nearly 20 years, he has been injecting them with creative images and small pieces of family history. Ohio has the nation’s busiest highway system after California, Texas and Florida. And Hull’s artistry has appeared on millions of maps helping drivers travel throughout the state. As a layout design artist with the Ohio Department of Transportation since 1989, Hull has creative control over the maps’ look and feel. He chooses the images, design, paper, and even the kinds of folds that are used.
