PSA: new digital portfolio website!

This is a Public Service Announcement to let you know of something that has been going on in my personal life - but don't worry, this blog won't be going away! And everything is good on my side too!

The purpose of this post is to let everyone know that I have finally set up a professional portfolio website! The aim of my website is to eventually showcase my blog content, as well as my fantasy map work to prospective employers, as well as other freelancers and businesses who may wish to work with me in the future.

So, if you are interested in wanting to work with me and want to reach out, or you just want to explore my current collection of fantasy maps without having to read the waffle of text on how I made them, feel free to go and check out my website here:

And with that, I hope you enjoy the rest of this lovely week! Stay tuned on this blog for a middle-earth fantasy map making adventure - as I am having loads of fun!

Signing off now,

Jakub

Run-up to the end of 2025 - Secret Maps at the British Library

It's been quite dead on my blog since the last post on the tales of creative writing, and that's because I have been busy in London's big library - so to celebrate the end of the 2025, let's explore the Secret Maps exhibition together and bring the mysteries of mapping alive... The Secret Maps Exhibition So, as is usual in blogposts about events, let's talk about what this exhibition is all about. So, Secret Maps is an exhibition that explores mapping and the theme of secrecy and privacy, ranging from 14th century ideas to the present day, taking place at the British Library from the 24th of October 2025 to the 18th of January 2026. The map curators at the Library had a very tough task over the previous three years in preparing the exhibition for display; choosing the right themes for the exhibition and having to meticulously pick out 100 of the most relevant items from the Library's extensive map collection (4.3 million maps to be precise), along with contacti...

My experience at the Make a Difference Boot Camp - Days 1 to 3

Let's start this post by telling you that this is a completely different post to what I usually make on this blog. Over the past couple of months, I have been using my blog to discuss my fantasy map projects and the things that make me feel passionate about cartography, as part of a plan to create a business idea out of it. Thus, I have been involved over the last week in a social enterprise programme, and I would like to share the experiences of my time there. The "Make a Difference Boot Camp" is a social enterprise programme that is run jointly by the Enterprise and Entrepreneurship team at the University of Suffolk and Dot-to-Dot Consultancy , a consultancy firm helping people build social enterprise business ideas. It is set to take place over nine days in the months of June and July, with the programme culminating with a pitching event on the 7th of July.

Welcome to my blog

Hello readers, Welcome to Jakub's Fantasy Map World, a blog created by Jakub Puk that aims to provide the crossroads between graphics design and computer games and wellness and lifestyle. On this blog, you will see pictures of new designs, what has inspired me to begin this venture, as well as the opinions that have been gathered behind my map designs, as I work towards developing a new retail business. In addition, I would like to use this space to encourage others to be able to learn graphics design and gain inspirations from my work to make their own fictional maps, and so over time, I intend to pull all the stops to make this family more inclusive, so people from all backgrounds can have fun and have time to relax and take their time. With that being said, let's get ourselves ready, and get going! With love and until next time, Jakub Puk
