The assignment was to design a map of anything in a creative way. Kaho and I wanted to make a map for ruins in the Kowloon area of Hong Kong. We wanted to develop appreciations in old buildings and ruins – the neglected side – in Hong Kong since only the urban and developed side gets praised.

Our main design approach on this project was to harmonize the duality of Hong Kong - modern and old. We tried to create minimal and neat designs while delivering aged and a bit grungy feels through photography.
In a nutshell, the modern style in our design was for compensating the content that the audience might not appreciate.

We created a very simple-looking logo with a bold typeface, which was flexible in applying in different ways. The photographs were warm in tones, so they looked comfortable and made the viewer interested in the ruins. We decided to make 5 brochures since the Kowloon area has 5 districts. In order to make this project medium-independent, we made a web- and app-sites for concept introduction and exact location search respectively.
