This is a demo sample of a project which required information to be placed at numerous "hot spots" on a global map. Due to the limited space where the map was to be used, it incorporates the ability to "zoom" into an area and "drag" the map around to navigate easily. Clicking the hotspots will reveal information which could be in any format such as text, images and video.
If you have Flash installed please try out this sample map >>
Vector graphics once created can be used at any size without loss of quality. Ideal when creating a logo or icon which may then be used in many different forms, for example printed stationery, large format posters or web sites. The file sizes are relatively small and if brought into Flash can be animated and made interactive.
Using a vector artwork application such as Adobe Illustrator bespoke maps can be created to suit the style of publication and level of detail required. They can be scaled to any size and are easily amended.
This illustration was generated to demonstrate the feasibility of producing a new type of sales booth. Elevations were created in Illustrator based on dimensions from a simple sketch, this was then imported in to a 3D modelling package to build and render the model at the appropriate angle. The finished image was then merged with an original photo taken of the prospective site using Photoshop.
Image manipulation can take many different forms, for example making pictures of insipid food appear more appetising, the removal of unwanted elements from an photo or as in this example creating a composite image from different elements to produce a period scene.
