I think of all the maze updates I have done this is the most different before and after. The initial maze was simple and easy. It could easily be solved by children. For this project the maze did not change, but the surroundings certainly did. Here is my original post:

Here are the enhancements I made to improve the maze:

1. Added the Ground. The maze was floating on the page but no more.

2. Changes Pathway Size. I widened the pathway transitions between colors from anywhere between 50% to 150% so they can be seen more easily.

3. Title Changed. I added the park name, and changed font sizes of labels.

4. Color Changed. I changed the color of the stamp to an off white from pure white to better match the true color of the sculpture.

5. Added Structure Details. I added the stabilizing structure on the ground below the stamp.

6. Arrows Replaced. I replaced the arrows with a written start and goal to allow me to create background items more easily.

7. Changed Size. I reduced the maze size (height minus 1.5 inch) and re-oriented everything down half an inch to reduce the grassy area and sky portions.

8. Added Background details. I added many trees and bushes to the background which are textured. The trees include leaves. I added the large building in the background with color and window details. I may have put more work into the building than the original maze ! If you are a Clevelander you know the building. I added the wall behind on back right bottom between the street and the building. I added the sky. I added the sandy area under the stamp near the new support. All of these things make a more realistic maze.

9. Added Shadows. I added a shadow on the ground from the stamp and another from the largest tree.

This is a big unveil. Before and After:
