A map which didn’t make it into our Family Bushwalks book but would have been good for our Family Rides book. The information icons are signs about historical points of interest. A trail of these continues south along a bike path.
A draft orienteering map of a school which will one day be fieldworked by a friend, so for the moment it lacks the usual detail:
A map of the route for an organised race on the Sunshine Coast:
This is my “biggest” map ever – it was printed at I think A0 size and put on a sign at the entrance to my sons’ school a few years ago:
My son’s school asked me to create these a few years ago. I made dozens of them, each one customised not only to the building it is in, but also the wall it is mounted on.
First I stared long and hard at the traditional diagrams and decided they were almost useless. They are horribly cluttered, carry far too much irrelevant information, and they try to say two things at once – Evacuation Routes and locations of Safety Equipment.
I wanted to make something that didn’t just address statutory requirements, but actually enhanced safety. My solution was two make two quite separate diagrams, each containing only the bare minimum of information, and to orient the Evacuation Diagram to correspond to its location.
We haven’t used this for a PLQ event yet. This is largely private land.
