Reykjavík Center Map
Layout & UI Design
2010 — 2011
My job was print layout and editing of the ad-sponsored free version of the map, as well as UI design for our interactive map website, Reykjavikcentermap.com.
There's a lot more to come from Borgarmynd in the future.
These last two years I've had the honor of working with my good friends at Borgarmynd on their fantastic map of downtown Reykjavík. Since we started working on this map it has found it's way to the World Expo in Shanghai in 2010, as well as being a part of the official press kit for the city of Reykjavík.

Poster
