Map for The Bell

  • Esme Mackenzie

This was a self-initiated project I started during lockdown. In Ticehurst there is a pub and hotel called The Bell which is very close to Bewl Water. While I was working front of house at the pub, many guests would ask for recommended walking or cycling routes, but there wasn't a proper map, so I started making one and then the owner of the pub thought it was a great idea, so he commissioned me to do it. I then worked with the Creative Director, following the brand guidelines and getting the file ready for print. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed working on this project, and I discovered a new passion for creative problem solving. I am keen to work on more projects similar to this one because it is satisfying knowing that people will use my artwork to navigate around the local area.
