The major project undertaken in this course was a client based one. Each student was required to locate a client and produce a map based on their needs. My particular client was an avid orienteerer and having participated in the sport of orienteering for the entirety of my growing up, I understood and was passionate about the subject. A compilation of several maps were assembled into a final product that outlines the basic aspects of the sport and its progression over time.
This resulting map - Orienteering: The Enigmatic Sport of Navigation.
