**NOTE: I've abandoned using DeviantART because it's been lost to AI generated images. I won't be returning, but I recognize many people link to this influence map template, so in order to keep legacy links intact, I'm leaving this, and the original V1 template up. Very sad to see the true end of DeviantART in favor of DeviantAI, but so be it. Please look up and use Cara.app **

Original Description:

Back in 2010, I made the Influence Map meme on DeviantART, and since then thousands of artists have taken part in it. In recognition of this, I made a new social media-friendly V2 PSD/PNG Template!

Hit the download button for this deviation to get a ZIP file that contains transparent PNG templates of 3 different layers in two different color schemes, and a freeform PSD edition for easy influence map creation!

Thanks everyone for making the Influence Map meme one of the most popular and longest running art memes on the internet! If you make a new one, submit it with the hashtag #influencemap !

You can also get more information here at the permanent page on my website: plasticshards.studio/influence…

Instructions:
If using the PSD edition, an instructions layer will be visible when you open the file/

If filling out manually using the transparent PNG version above, simply insert images you want to use on layers under the main template and crop each to fit its cell.

You can put anything, really, in each cell. Images of things, places, people, pieces of media, books, words, ideas, concepts, philosophies, religions — you name it. Consider whether you’re just a fan of what you’re considering as an inspirational influence, or if it really has special meaning to your developing journey as an artist, and provides an energetic spark whenever you think about it. Things that truly influence you don’t happen overnight — they tend to stay influential for a long, long time as you continue to reflect on and consider its importance to you.

Before saving out, don’t forget to add you name in the top left corner, and share wherever you like online!
All I ask is to please keep the footer info to lead back to this page!

Fonts Used:
