My task was to research, design and implement a new method and aesthetic for animated and still maps for our entire network.

The objective was to solve a problem - we had to retire an old aesthetic that was no longer working for the network. Using a solution like GeoLayers App was absolutely vital in crafting a new design that was bespoke, minimalistic and eyecatching - while adhering to our channel branding guidelines.

The limitations of browser based map construction presented me with some very unique problems to solve and as a result, I developed some very unique solutions. We’ve sliced the production time of maps down to a matter of minutes.

Following the research and design phases, I then led the training of editing and producing staff in the use of this mapping system, ensuring a smooth transition into the new process and style company-wide.
