A Heart Warming Experience...


I have decided to blog about this beautiful and amazing project done by Tim, Shelby, Chandra, and I.........................











Just kidding.

This beautiful poster board was made by Kyle, Cati, Annie, and LaToya. It maps the different kinds of events and activities that the two major art museums of Minnesota; Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Walker Arts Center. It displays this information with four main colors; a warm blue, blood red, black, and blue... plus the grayscale icons. It displays an image of a city (Minneapolis) with blue lines going into the heart in the center (blue for blood that flows into the heart) and the red lines flow out of the heart. The red lines connect to various events/activities that the MIA and Walker offers.
This is a very informational and effective map, especially for individuals and families who wish to get involved in the arts community of Minnesota; a very important thing, in my opinion, for the future. The map is clear for the most part... the red and blue lines take a few moments to identify their origins and destinations before you realize it is more for an aesthetic purpose. But the lines are important, they lead to the main information of the map, which is the different events. Within the thumbnails of the different events had the logos of the MIA and Walker, some which only is available at one of the locations.
Overall, it is very professional visual information that is very effective and aesthetically pleasing.
