Map development: Printed & Mounted

After researching into material which would work with the map I had designed on Illustrator I decided to print the map onto a semi gloss paper because of its shine and professional looking finish. It also isn't too thick so it will be a lot easier for people to stick the pins in the various places of the map when they are answering their questions. I am also happy with the complete finish of the map and how it looks on the page, the colour scheme works well and the different shades of blue compliment each other and bounce of the white background to create a higher contrast and make my map really pop from the page. I am also happy with the size of the font and how it appears in person, although some of the fonts are small I believe it adds to the fun element of finding the country you want. After I printed the map I bought some foam board. I decided to go with this material because of how great it reacted to the pins being stuck in it as I tested it before buying. The foam holds the pins well and straight creating for a better finish. I mounted the map on the foam board using double sided tape, as I felt using spray mount may damage the map which would be a disaster. Overall I am happy with the outcome of the map piece, now I need to work on developing the type which will go next to this on the wall explaining the rules and also the questions that the consumer will be asked.
