LA28 Streetwear Map

This project is a metro map design of the LA 28 Olympic venues with a focus on all of the biggest streetwear stores of LA in the Melrose/Fairfax area and their proximity to the venues and how to get from them or to the venues using my chosen metro lines A and E as well as all the other bus lines connecting to them. The back of the map has an informational timeline of the History of streetwear and some of the brands shown on the front.
Learning Outcomes:
From this project I learned a lot about the logistics of information design with maps, such as techniques for labeling or using symbols to avoid cramped or small and unreadable type, as well as how to design the map in a certain style that aligns with the style of the other information being highlighted. I also gained experience in designing in a layout that works as a page by page pamphlet as well as when you unfold the map and look at the whole design together.
