LA LIVE
LA Live is located in downtown Los Angeles and it has become a hub and premier destination for sports, entertainment, and living.
This map accurately depicts the unique shape and size of sports landmark Staples Center as one would remember it when watching basketball, hockey, or concert events. Additionally, the tall Ritz Carlton building is memorable due to its elongated shape that is visible for anyone who has visited Downtown LA or see its skyline from the freeway. All the building on this map look close to its relative size and shape in reality.
This map uses the universal symbols usually associated in “location maps”, such as ATM, Parking, Restrooms, Elevator, etc. These icons are well established and indicate where one can find it on the map.
The color is uniform blue throughout to illustrate that each building is considered part of LA Live. Additionally, all text is in white, albeit different font size as associated to their respective brands.
The map groups information together to indicate a building has five floors associated to it. This process of organizing information into related groups is important to show how the connect together.
The indicator for streets are big white lines that give it a “pop-out effect” as it contrasts with all the blue buildings. This a very clear visual cue and makes it easier to visually process.
