Custom Maps and Panoramic Photography – Video Explanation
By John Potter
I decided to put a little pitch for my custom designed maps and panoramic photography into video format so that I can describe what I can offer without having to be sitting right in front of a client. I have a lot to offer and I thought this might be an easier and faster format for some folks to use than browsing around my website. This also allows me to show my services as I perceive them pretty clearly. I hope you enjoy it. If you don’t see the controls, don’t worry…just mouse over the video and they will appear.

Dinosaur World Kentucky Map – Adobe Illustrator Time-Lapse Video

Dinosaur World KY Map – Illustrator Slideshow from John Potter on Vimeo. |
 |
For the Plant City, Florida Dinosaur World map project I made a full six minute time lapse video of the creation process. Now that I’ve moved on to the Cave City, Kentucky map I decided to make a more compressed video more like a slideshow that is actually less than a minute long.
 |
Although the project is not yet fully complete we are far enough along that I can share this video and a detailed image or two.
Dinosaur World is a great attraction featuring hand crafted, sculpted dinosaurs. Located right off of I65 in Cave City, Kentucky, the park is great fun for kids and adults featuring a museum, a huge playground, picnic areas and of course tons of dinosaurs. Lovingly created by the Svensson family, the park in Cave City is one of three parks with the other two Dinosaur Worlds located in Plant City, Florida and Glen Rose, Texas. Be sure and visit their web site at http://www.dinoworld.net and visit the park in person. Dinosaur World in Cave City is right down the road from Mammoth Cave National Park and and centrally located to many more attractions. I have come to love Cave City and can’t wait to return.
This video is also available on Youtube. I hope you enjoy it.
Flamingo Gardens Gets A New Visitor Brochure
By John Potter

I am pleased to announce that Flamingo Gardens will be releasing their new map as well as a new brochure of my design within the next few days to weeks.
I’ve posted a lot about the map already, but I haven’t mentioned the brochure that is the other side of the printed map.
It is highlighted by an illustration I did in Adobe Illustrator in kind of an Art Deco style to fit with the historic and classy nature of the venue. The font used in the title is “Potter Slim Deco”, which I designed and is available for sale from the downloads page. The spot illustrations are largely made from pieces of the map, thereby tying it all together. The final brochure was constructed in Adobe InDesign.
A larger image of the main illustration alone can be seen in the illustration gallery.
A relatively cheap and easy way to connect your computer or laptop to your TV and stereo.
By John Potter
Can you get cable TV for free from the internet? Not really, but you can watch a lot of stuff for free and there’s no reason not to watch it on your regular TV.
If you want a quick, simple and relatively cheap method of connecting your computer to your TV so you can make a presentation or watch online content like free TV shows on Hulu this will get you up and running without breaking the bank or getting too complicated.

Dinosaur World Florida Map – Adobe Illustrator Time-Lapse Video

Dinosaur World FL Map – Illustrator Time-Lapse from John Potter on Vimeo. |
 |
One of my recent large projects has been the new visitor’s map for Dinosaur World in Plant City, Florida. Dinosaur World is a great attraction featuring over 150 hand crafted, sculpted dinosaurs. Located right off of I4 between Tampa and Orlando, the park is great fun for kids and adults featuring educational exhibits, a huge playground, picnic areas and of course tons of dinosaurs. Lovingly created by the Svensson family, the park in Plant City is one of three parks with the other two Dinosaur Worlds located in Cave City, Kentucky and Glen Rose, Texas. Be sure and visit their web site at http://www.dinoworld.net and visit the park in person.
The management at Dinosaur World contacted me back in mid February inquiring about a redesign of their visitor’s map. We reached an agreement and I went up to see the park and collect the data needed to create the map. I had a great time and the data all lived up to expectations. Partially due to the panoramic photography I shot there weren’t a lot of revisions based on incorrect placement or that sort of thing.
The project moved quickly and efficiently and I ran an ongoing screen capture as I have done with the Flamingo Gardens Map and the Snow Scene for Foreign Trade Zone Corporation. As with the Flamingo Gardens Map I did not include every single thing that I did in the interest of not putting anyone to sleep. The speed is doubled six times over giving you the ability to see how I work and the thought process behind it without being burdened by specifics of technique. The project was done primarily in Adobe Illustrator, although I do jump to other programs for a second every now and then as you will see in the video.
This video is also available on Youtube. I hope you enjoy it.
