DESIGN NAME: City of Saint Aubin du Cormier
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Greetings Card
INSPIRATION: As the book "Where's Wally?", this comic map illustrates lots of details from Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier town. So, everyone is invited to recognise or discover the most important monuments, evenements, places... An idea which also comes from Omy brand who creates big illustrated posters of famous cities as Paris, New York, San Francisco, Berlin...
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: I proposed to create an illustrated card from Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier for the greetings card 2018. All the unmissable monuments, events and places of the city are represented. They are identifiable by a drawing that ilustrates their characteristics. This map proposes an atypical visit of the city. A rich, fun and detailed map to discover or rediscover the city of Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier. In a second step, from this greeting card, a giant map to color of the entire city will be realized this year.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This card can be used by the municipality of the city for tourists or by teachers for pedagogic workshops.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The first step of this project (the greetings card) started in November 2017 and finished in December 2017. The second step started in January 2018 and finished in March 2017.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Drawing by hand with a graphic tablet
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: First Step : the greetings card : 210 x 100 millimeters Second Step : a map : 620 x 490 millimeters

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: An iconographic research to facilitate the creation / Access to a bank of photos of the city by the town hall (google drive) / Many meetings with the deputy mayor to validate all stages of creation / comments of residents after publication of the map greetings: the pleasure of discovering and recognizing the details of the city where we live ... a tourist and fun discovery.
CHALLENGE: There were several obstacles to succeeding this creative challenge. First: the iconographic research to facilitate the creation of illustrations. Second: to find the right balance between representation and interpretation of the city. Third: to draw on the graphic tablet for two reasons: to facilitate the multiple corrections of the illustrated card and to have a vectorized drawing which will make it possible to print the map in small or big without altering the quality of the drawing.
