Solution Highlights
Time-Based Framing
Organized the map from dawn to night to guide the viewer through the week.
Minimal Palette
Warm neutrals with gentle accent hues keep emphasis on composition, not effects.
Scannable Annotations
Light labels, arrows, and framing details connect moments without clutter.
Process Notes
Collect & Cluster
Sifted through a week of photos, grouping by energy (calm, bustle, pause) to plan pacing.
Built a rough wireframe of the canvas before choosing illustration treatments.
Illustrate with Restraint
Blended flat shapes with subtle texture so details remain crisp at multiple sizes.
Kept typography secondary to imagery, using small captions for anchors.
Key Takeaways
Story-first framing prevents dense illustrations from feeling chaotic.
Limiting colors made print prep straightforward and reduced ink cost.
Annotated details invite viewers to linger and find new micro-stories.
