#upmin

As an exercise of design skills (for fears of it would have been gone just when I needed it the most), I redesigned my old system map of UP Mindanao. This map is updated for the Academic Year 2015-2016.

For this, I added a ton of useful information into the map: 

location and road names as station and lines, respectively

topographic details, transportation links and terminals

"secondary lines" in Admin, Kanluran, and EBL Dorm

parking space and medical/first aid markers

and a separate line for pedestrian traffic. 

All of these were absent from the earlier study. In addition, I've included both the CHSS Cultural Complex and DC-UP Sports Complex in the map, as these structures are being constructed at the present academic year.

Design-wise, I used a cleaner, more legible typeface, and a brighter colour palette that is colorblind-safe, used alongside standard UP graphics and colours as recommended in the UP Brand Book 2007.

Total production time from draft until export is around 15 hours; the long production time is because a transit map needs the OCD or OCDs for it to become useful, let alone meaningful, for its users.

I might make a proper transit map of UPMin soon, that of the UP Ikot network, but since I already forgot the route the Ikot passes through, and since it will include the vicinities of Mintal and Sitio Basak, I would need some help with this one.

This work is my freebie for the freshies of this AY, as well as to the upclass and alumni. You can download a copy at http://cl.ly/image/391e2g3c0Q1w.

Program used is Adobe Illustrator CS6. All graphics were hand-made sans the university logo.
