Work in SketchUp

I had almost forgotten about this work entirely. It was an assignment from the Engineering Department at TSW to create a concept for development near the Lakefield Lock 26. I imported Google's aerial imagery into SketchUp for scale and created these 3D images of a restaurant with a patio and a gift shop.

DayTripper Logo Samples

 The DayTripper was conceived to be a hardy, waterproof tourist fouldout map of a major city with a focus on family-friendly activities and regional tourist attractions within 100 km.

Video

This video was a really fun, collaborative effort. A group of us did this voluntarily to improve customer understanding of our GPS Compatible product line.

Road Atlases

   

The Quebec and Saskatchewan Road Atlases are good examples of our new atlas style. We created this style to give our GPS-Compatible atlases a unique appearance.

Foldouts

A few foldout maps I've completed with my team. All are GPS-Compatible.

Map Art Work: Alberta Back Roads

The Alberta Back Roads Atlas was my first project with Map Art. We chose an elevation gradient for the background but have since moved to hillshading for our newer projects. The next edition of this book and product derivatives will have the hillshading instead.

TSW Swag

The new 2012 season hat with our 'feature creature' of the year, the Western Chorus Frog.

The Blanding's turtle was featured on our 2011 gear including this hat, the Brazilian bracelet and the shopping tote.

Water Bodies of the Trent-Severn Game

This game was included in the Waterway Discovery Society children's activity book. We distributed nearly 10,000 copies of this book over the course of summer 2011. The challenge is to figure out which lakes form the various parts of the bullfrog.

This activity was inspired by the image below:

Curve Lake First Nation Signs

These signs were created in partnership with Curve Lake First Nation to be displayed next to a wetland boardwalk project built by our team and Curve Lake staff. I incorporated the art of David Beaucage Johnson into the posters, vectorized some pieces and used some Photoshop skills on others. The sign text is translated in Anishnaabeg, English and French.

Cartoon Map and Sticker Game

I based this map on an old papercraft map created by a Parks Canada employee in the '90s. I vectorized the characters from a photo taken of the original map (which has seen better days). The above version was used as a sticker collecting game for children and families traveling along the waterway in the summer of 2011. (The round translucent spots indicate where the stickers need to go.) Lock stations and the Wetland Discovery Trailer distributed different combinations of stickers so families had to travel to several places along the waterway to complete their map. This was very popular with children and their families and we ended up printing over 5000 copies.

This winter I was asked to remove the sticker spots and add more characters so the map could be printed and sold at the visitor's centre.

Discover, Play and Stay Banner and Lure Cards

Discover, Play and Stay was a partner project with the local Regional Tourism Organization in 2011. The banner (left) was displayed in downtown areas and at lock stations to promote the program. The lure card (centre, right) allowed visitors to register and provided them with nine bar code entries for the contest.
