Vector graphics expertise as a power user: Adobe Illustrator.Your portfolio samples should demonstrate essential technical experience and skills A successful BRC map designer is like a chameleon, changing stripes, producing distinctive visuals, exploring and exploiting tangential theories and philosophies, while at all costs avoiding obvious and trite representations of the art theme. Familiarize yourself with past map designs here. Here is where your artistry and genius comes in: please read through the full art theme “da Vinci’s Workshop” text before you start designing. Up for the Challenge? Here’s What It Takes Your vision/interpretation of the 2016 art theme Lisa was granted official written permission from Transport for London to use the roundel inspired logo. The map goes to print the first week in August in order to be ready for the first volunteers on the playa at the end of the month.Ī great example of Lisa’s ability to blend excellent infographics with an artistic interpretation of the theme is the 2010 map for Metropolis: By July everything needs to become final. In June the information I need from the Placement Team would start trickling in. By May I would usually have the design narrowed down to one or two possibilities. I feel that research and having time to marinate on ideas is the best way to get started. I usually let the theme bounce around in my head a while before settling on a design direction. What about the creative process? Here’s how Lisa describes it: So intimate knowledge of Burning Man culture is a prerequisite. By 2000 they had convinced me to come back. That was the year many people I would soon become friends with started to go. “I returned every year until 1995 when the City started to feel too big and out of control. “1991 was my first year at Burning Man,” Lisa says. “I always think it’s great when people are surprised that it has been the same person designing the BRC Map and Guide since 2001.”įor starters, she had major Burner experience under her belt. How did Lisa even do it? “Each year I tried to create something different,” Lisa says. The BRC Map has been amazingly intricate and diverse over the years. This role calls for nothing less than an infographics genius with attention to detail bordering on the obsessive, and someone who can demonstrate considerable talent and experience in illustration, design and print production. This development allows for a new artist to show their skills, and offers an opportunity to rethink the traditional design. After many years of beautiful work, Lisa Hoffman, Burning Man’s volunteer BRC Map designer, is stepping down.
