Uruguay

Oh my! This is a huge step up from your usual projects. Visually, at least

Uruguay

The numbers and number/letter combinations in the list below correspond to numbers on the map. In this species list dotted lists represent the different species housed in a mixed exhibit and striped lists represent species housed in different exhibits within a complex, such as an aviary block or a row of aquariums or terrariums. For the colors and shapes on the map I added a map key to the design map.

@Mr Gharial I actually drew this in much the same way as I used to for a few earlier projects, with only relatively minimal changes in my methods and designs.

@KevinB

I know, but the little visual changes turns this into something on a whole level, even though the design is very similar to your other projects. It's a very nice effect that makes it feel official somehow!
