Maps for NCAA Football

We've been busy, but we've been lax in keeping up with the blog. So over the rest of the summer, we'll try to catch you up on what we've been up to!

IMG, the company contracted to market NCAA Football, hired us in 2008 to create a map showing teams in the Football Championship Subdivision (Division IA) and Football Bowl Subdivision (Division IAA), including team information and a complete season schedule and postseason bowl games. We did, and it was successful as part of their work building brand identity, while providing a handy reference for college football professionals across the country.

We created a new version of the printed map for the 2009 season, which was released to selected NCAA football professionals recently just prior to the kick-off of the 2009 season. To get a version of the FBS map with branding elements removed, see our Division I FBS Football Teams 2009 wall map with schedule available for sale in three sizes: 37.875 x 27", 50.5 x 36", and 67.3 x 48". The new maps for 2010 are in preparation now...

We also made an interactive map as a gateway to NCAAFootball.com's stadium guide. We're very pleased with how it turned out: a quick and compact visual way to explore the geography of the game.

We've experimented before with Flash, and worked with an outside developer to create an interactive campus map for Winona State University. We're looking at opportunities to do more. We think that for all the talk about interactive mapping, there are very few really good, fully thought-through interactive maps out there. We're looking for more projects to explore ways of bringing our work with static maps into this brave new world... contact us if you have a project in mind!

Harvard Square

We came out with the first edition of our map of Harvard University and the surrounding area fourteen years ago, and it's been a great seller for us ever since. Not long after, the Harvard Square Business Association asked if we would make a new map of the Square for them. So we did. We've made a new edition of map every year or so since then. The newest edition is out now, and available at various Harvard Square locations. You can also view it online at www.harvardsquare.com. We also offer it through our web store as a wall map.

Berkeley Path Wanderers Map 2009 released

Since 2002, we've been publishing the Berkeley Path Wanderers Association's guide to the stairs and walking trails of Berkeley, California. We've just printed and they've just released the revised 5th edition of the Berkeley Pathways map. Besides perennial revisions as paths are repaired, we have added Berkeley's Bicycle Boulevards.

If you've never walked Berkeley's Hills, it's a great experience. We encourage anyone visiting the Bay area to take the time to buy one of these maps (available in stores all over Berkeley) and explore! You can also use our Professor Pathfinder's Berkeley map to explore the University of California campus and the commercial area around it.

We welcome all sorts of custom map projects—see our custom services pages, and see our featured project page for the Berkeley Pathways maps.
