What is a line-Final Map

This is the image of the final map, i think it is an effective final outcome, with good legibility.



It was looking at the newly drawn lines and the legibility that these created, which gave me the idea for my final pieces. 

CREATING A TYPE FACE.

Creating a type face from this map, and some of the areas located on it, which could be easily references backed to area, by using the grid reference. I thought this was a nice idea for this reason, also i like the idea that typography gives you and understanding or direction, as does a map. So creating the rutland rights of way typeface, i decided to focus on. 
When producing this typography, i gave myself set rules.

  • Each letter had to include 2 separate areas of map.
  • There would be visual consistency through out the finished typeface.
  • By the final editing of the typeface, some editing to the difficult shapes of created by the lines of the footpaths could be edited. 
  • However there must be an obvious resemblance to the grid references given for each letter.
