Travel Journaling - Google Satellite Maps

google map, art journaling, Portland, Columbia River, Mt. St. HelensAnother thing I like to do when travel journaling is to make a google map of where I am going. You can write and draw on it after printing it out or you can bring it into Photoshop and add type, pictures, etc. (If you want to know how to "type on a path" in Photoshop click here for an easy tutorial.)

If you want to see a really great satellite picture on google put "eiffel tower" in the maps' search area and zoom in. You get to see the eiffel tower from space...very cool...not this trip but maybe next time.
eiffel tower, google satellite Here is an image from my journal (places I want to visit). I brought it into Photoshop and Studio Artist to play with it before printing it out and pasting it into my journal
