Bigmaps Part 3




Embellished Green View

This green view was done mainly as an excuse to feature some mangrove trees and birdlife in a golf setting. I think it would be a fun hole to play.


Moonlight Promenade

Here is a different version of my print "Moonlight Promenade". This version has a border accent and title. On its own I think it looks great, however I felt the white space distracted when combined with a matte. Hence the road not taken.


Golf Course Intro Screens

Each new course that purchased a GPS system received a customized intro screen. Here are a few that I have done over the years.


ToyFederation Freelance work Part 1

I have also done freelance work for www.thetoyfederation.com. Here are a couple of ads I did for them that appeared in  issues of the Master collector back in 2007.



Green Views

Here is a selection of green views done for various golf courses while working for ParView then ProLink. Some were embellished with more "stuff" to add visual interest for portfolio purposes.




High Resolution Hole View

This is a hole I did for practice early in 2008. All holes and greens done for GPS are low resolution 72 dpi. This particular hole was done at 300 dpi.


 

Golf Course Maps Part Deux

Here are a few more bigmaps.


Golf Course Maps aerial views

At the end of 2002, we learned that a rival company was producing large detailed maps for their clients' proshops. Up till that time the maps the proshops used to locate the positions of the golf carts on their course was some basic autocad rendering with no aesthetic quality whatsoever. So from 2003 till present each new course got a customized detailed map of their course. For lack of a better word they were called Bigmaps. I would say from 2003-2008, I produced around 300 of these things. Here are a few of my favorites.

Portfolio

As my profile says, I am a graphic designer/illustrator living in Sarasota Florida. For 7 years I was employed in the golf GPS industry(2001-2008) doing design and illustration work for client golf courses - primarily graphic renditions of holes and greens and overall maps of golf courses. In addition, in my spare time, I have also done freelance work for thetoyfederation.com. My most recent work involves coral reef illustration which you can view at my other site http://www.thepaintedreef.com/. This site will basically be a digital portfolio in a blog format.
