Large informational banner designed for WIN Collaboratory, a growing small business incubator from Cleveland, Ohio. This is a representation of a major portion of WIN's service - Networking is everything.
This 3x6-ft banner serves to not only help budding entrepreneurs take the right first steps, but also connect them with helpful local and online resources for support, networking, legal/finance, and other startup needs.
The background map was built from scratch even though its style is directly taken from the Google Maps aesthetic. This was chosen so that the all-too-familiar map graphic never overpowers the important content.
