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.
