Shops and
Revenue
The PATH underground shopping is my case study for shops and revenue examples, the PATH is a 28 km
underground tunnel comprising of 371,600 sqm of retail space and about 1,200
shops. There are 125 entry and exit points throughout the tunnel.
The
underground mall pass under over 50 office buildings and 5 subway stations in
downtown Toronto. Each section of the mall which PATH passes through belongs to
the estate above.

Island drawings. Inspiration
Drawing is looking better. But imagine how large it is. The lines should be much thinner and the information around take less attention. The grey boxes are not helping you but distracting the audience attention. Need to work on it a bit more. I've put some nice drawings of islands here in this post for inspiration. Have a look and extract what you think might be useful. The over all graphics being the most interesting I think.
ReplyDeleteI can't read the text on the axos. The second one looks like a good start, and I realize that the first one is just an example but do not put the photos like that in "axo" boxes. Keep them empty if you haven't had time to draw them. The case study on Path is helpful, but please refine which programs you would have. Your site is very special and will not attract all. Consider your selections carefully.
Very exciting!
