My Inspiration/ Research

 Matt Carlson - Freelance Illustrator Link:  https://dribbble.com/matt-carlson  Here is one of many pieces of work from the freelance illustrator Matt Carlson. I was drawn in by this design as it very easily catches the viewer's attention without being an overly complex design. And this is where I have taken inspiration for my own leaflet. I like the simplistic design of the trees and I think that a similar design would be very effective in my design.

This is my Final version. The map will be A3 on the back side of the leaflet.
