A redesign of the transit maps for the city of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. This web-based project makes the master map and each individual route map free and accessible for the public to view and print at home on 8.5 x 11″ pages.
Using Illustrator, I modified and developed a base map of the city, mapping the bus routes using existing colours; creating 8.5 by 11 templates; and isolating each route and reworking them to fit the sheet. I also added a legend and a simplified time schedule. I modified the GRT logo to suite the site colours, and used WIX software to create the web site.

I'm a historian, curator, teacher and designer living in Ottawa. In 2003 I completed a Harvard doctoral dissertation on the 18thC origins of the catalogue raisonné. Then I taught at Stanford University in California from 2003 to 2005. For the next six years I was Curator of European & American Art at the National Gallery of Canada. These days I'm involved in a variety of research, teaching, advocacy and design projects.
