CONCEPT
Slide Rock National Park is an organized collection of some recurring monsters found in American folklore and mythology (focusing on the great lakes region's fearsome critters) styled like a field guide. These descriptions are supplemented with a map of these creatures and edited photos to represent a few of the tales surrounding the monsters.
AUDIENCE
This project would be for the enthusiast over the expert. This would give me two goals: Keep interface and descriptions simple and Provide proper context and vocabulary.
RESEARCH
My research would include and collecting the various creatures that would be featured in the project. I used the archives of various state and national libraries and historical societies interviewing a few natives of the Great Lakes regions.
MOODBOARDS
The title “Slide Rock National Park,” a fictional park where all of those creatures could live. I incorporate park photography and a type writer font with muted colors to make it feel like you were looking into field notes of a park ranger.
