Illustrated map of a resort showing cabin and cottage locations as well as services and other accommodations for use by guests and staff
Client: Great Blue Resorts
I am the artist who made these maps. They are many years old. For the latest and most accurate information on any of these resorts please visit GreatBlueResorts.com
Great Blue Resorts was one of my primary clients for a number of years. I created illustrated maps for many of the properties they owned or represented across Ontario. The map shown here is for Woodland Estate Resort in Campbellford, Ontario.
Woodland Estate Resort offers a serene environment away from the hustle and bustle. The resort makes a great getaway resort on the lake featuring stunning lakefront views and breathtaking sunrises. The resort is only 10 minutes from Campbellford, here you can take a stroll along the downtown streets lined with quaint shops, restaurants, and inviting boutiques. During the summer months enjoy the vibrancy of the Warkworth, Westben, and Crooks Rapids music festivals nearby.
My approach for these projects was always similar. I provided a clear overview of the property and use graphical icons to mark facilities guests actually need. Lodging, dining, recreation, parking. Everything in one place, easy to find at a glance.
This particular map features cottage numbers and road names labeled directly on the illustration. Guests can find their specific rental without asking at the office. Staff can direct people with precision. It is a small detail that makes a real difference in how a property runs.
This map also features color coded subcategorized areas for more granular navigation of the site through a layered system.
If you manage a resort, a golf course, or a mixed use property and need a clear, useful illustrated map, contact me. I have done this work before and I can do it for you.
