This maze was originally commissioned for an adult activity book. I made it for a client in the way they preferred. Today I get a chance to update the maze and try and improve the product. The original maze is not available for download, but the updated maze is ! While I have never been to Martinique, this project peaked my interest. I was able to practice my landscape mazes and experiment with styling while making a maze based off of a picture. I present Maze of the Week #185 - Grande Anse du Diamant Maze.

Here are the enhancements I made to improve the maze:

1. Changed the font type. I actually think the original font works well with the island scene, but I decided to change to my preferred font.

2. Changed Font colors. The start and goal will blend into the background when I color the maze, so I changed them to white from black. The title stays black but I outlined it in white to make it easier to read.

3. Added color throughout. The hills all got textured and colored, while the remaining elements just got flat color. I spent most of my time coloring the individual buildings.

4. Wall color change. I wanted to make the water look more interesting so I changed the walls there from black to grey (they are menat to look like waves).

5. Horizon change. I blurred the water horizon to look more natural where the water meets the sky adding a blue layer to it.

I left the 9x7 size and the frame, making the maze feel like a photo/picture.
