A tourist map for the City of Cairns in Queensland Australia

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. • Map to be on one side A3 size for print, with mini cartoon/caricture images portraying local landmarks and places of interest • Scaled to A4 size for web PDF • Scale, grid and legend to be included • 25 advertiser call out spots colour coded for each category with a corresponding location marker The map is to be visually inviting and so relevant that travellers will seek it out and retain as a souvenir, particularly for those scrap booking their travel experiences. Detail and coverage to be similar to sample B. The map is to include a basic & simple bus network call out. Sample of existing maps are attached for your review. I was inspired to create a map after seeing maps in Europe like the attached Berlin map. Photo's of landmarks are available on request. The proposed landmarks will be Fleet Terminal, The Pier, Lagoon, Art Gallery, Cairns Central, Train Station, Tank Arts Centre, Botanical Gardens, Library, Convention Centre, Big Captain Cook, Reef Casino, Civic Theatre, Rusty's Markets & City Place. The map will have a suggested walk and markers for important places like hospital, police, BBQ's etc.... I look forward to reviewing your interest in this project.
