Design Decisions

A clean, elegant aesthetic was developed, built around a restrained palette of warm neutral tones.

The map balances clarity and elegance, with carefully simplified forms and hierarchy to guide the user. The design is optimised primarily for printed materials and for backlit interior installations.
