Following closely behind the principle of simplicity, is that of memorability. An effective design should be memorable and this is achieved by having a simple, yet, appropriate map. Versatile. An effective map should be able to work across a variety of mediums and applications. The design should be functional. The map should be able to work both in horizontal and vertical formats. We made it. PS. design should be Timeless. Will this map still be effective in 50 years? Hope grandchildren will answer it.
