Office Installation Commission
In April of 2014 I was contacted by a startup in Austin which had just been acquired and moved into a new office space. There was a big empty wall outside their conference room they wanted to put a map of Austin on. The goal was to highlight restaurants, bars, and attractions around town so they could point them out to their out-of-town visitors.
The Trick
The tricky part of their request was to show both the whole city of Austin, and the fine-grained details at the same time. To achieve this, we settled on a large overview map of the city surrounded by smaller canvases.
