I designed this Apple-themed California map during my Apple Maps internship at Cupertino, CA, modified based on another California LEGO map with classic topographic color scheme.

If you are familiar with the history of Apple Company, you might immediately recognize the classic colorful apple logo (1977-1999) in, which is now used as the graphic color ramp for elevation. Considering the limitation of this abnormal color scheme for topography, I adjusted the classification scheme to have equal intervals to make this design more understandable.

In terms of the LEGO unit of square brick/plate with a round circle, I designed this to be less alike real LEGO elements, but more close to iPod shuffle’s shape. And the metadata also embeds the classic prints on Apple products’ paper box: Designed by Apple in California.
