the goal of this project was to create an original map for use in a school handbook appendix and other printed promotional materials.
with a very tight deadline, we created this map and several specialized versions to communicate information about the location of the school and emergency evacuation routes in the community.
the style needed to be casual and fun but accurate enough to give useful directions in both english and japanese.
