This project is to design an original map of the City of Cairns in Far North Queensland, Australia. The map is designed for independant travellers and backpackers under the name Cocky Guides – a relevant, quirky and humourous map that can be relied upon by travellers. The style is to be fun but functional.
I envisage an A3 size map with room for 25 advertisement spots categorised into 5 groups of 5, within the A3 size. The groups with be Eat, Sleep, Party, Thrills, & Adventure. Each group will have a unique colour and a reference to the map (ie grid location and colour coded spot). Up to 15 major landmarks are to be portrayed in the map as a mini cartoon/caricture image.
