Sure, however, several of our illustrators need a reference of the entire campus. Drones are legally only allowed to fly 400 ft high. We typically use airplanes for our aerials and instruct the pilot to fly circles around the property taking photos from multiple angles and altitudes. This allows us to see the different perspectives and choose the best to represent the organization for its new campus map.

Every situation is different, but the goal is the same. You want to increase the number of visitors and improve their experience of your campus. It also depends on the nature of the stop and type of map. If a location is more historic it might make more sense to discuss the history with old pictures. Another spot might be a scene with lots of activity and excitement, so you would want to show that instead. Once the direction is determined a method of cinematography can be chosen and storyboards written to tell this story.

Audio narrations on each stop are a great way to increase the engagement with locations on a map. Audio narrations also enhance the accessibility of an interactive map for people who are unable to read a description in a map stop. This is accomplished by having a voice-over talent record the descriptions into an audio file and upload into an audio player on each stop. 

We can easily take any map illustration and perform “Legend and Labeling” services in order to create an easy to print offline version of a campus map. This map is typically saved as a .pdf file to be easily printed.

Although not as much the buzz as they once were, 360° pictures are still an engaging and interactive type of media that can be included in an interactive map. 360° pictures are a kind of middle ground that gives users more freedom to explore than a static picture but don’t require as much production time as a video. They are still very relevant in modern interactive mapping to allow users to better explore a location.

As with all pictures saved to the web, it is important to crop the image to the correct dimension for the container that it will be placed. Just as important is optimizing the image file through compression to get the file size down. By saving images to the correct dimensions (height/width) and reducing file size (kilobytes) this creates the optimal user experience so that images aren’t distorted or have long load times. There is also other manipulations of images that can easily be done in a photo editing tool like Photoshop to make a picture look it’s absolute best.
