Cartoon Map

To: Graphic Designers of all experience levels Since our office is inexperienced in graphic design we would like to enlist the assistance of someone who is. My organization, the Fresno Transportation Institute will be hosting a transportation engineering competition for students of different age groups (Elementary, Middle, and High School). We will be asking them to construct a railroad that connects the cities of Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Fresno, Sacramento, and San Francisco. For this, we would like to have a high quality cartoon map of the region containing these cities which includes terrain (mountains, desert, and basic water features), major highways connecting these cities, and buildings / monuments that represent each of the cities. The map is not meant to be an exact representation of the region. The positions of cities, terrain features, or infrastructure may be skewed for the purpose of creating a more pleasant visual experience or to fit the 4 ft by 6 ft board dimensions that the map will be printed on. So that you may familiarize yourself with our vision, we have attached a rough image of the desired layout of the map. Alterations may be made at the discretion of the graphic designer who is contracted. Bid: - Cost estimate (materials / labor) - Short statement describing your experience and vision for the project - Portfolio of past designs Desired Formats (all): - Original format - PDF version - JPEG / JPG version - PNG version Design Scale: - 4x6 ratio - Not to exact scale of region
