High-Res Lake Huron Bathymetry Poster
Budget: $250 – $750 CAD
I need a 3' x 5' bathymetric map that focuses on the Pointe-au-Baril section of Georgian Bay, Lake Huron. The map must go beyond standard navigation charts: I want high-resolution contours, fine depth gradients, and all the subtle underwater structure anglers rely on when planning outings.
Because the piece will hang on a wall and double as a fishing-planning tool, I’m after a balanced aesthetic—scientifically accurate data presented with an artistic touch that looks great from across the room yet reads clearly up close.
Key points you should know:
• Detail level: high resolution with precise depth readings and smooth gradient shading.
• Final format: I’ll need a ready-to-print digital file (minimum 300 dpi at full size) and a finished 3' x 5' poster shipped to me.
• Style: a combination of informative symbology (depth labels, contour intervals, and decorative elements (tasteful color palette, subtle legend, title block). I have attached a copy of a map that many people in the area have. Ideally the style will match this aesthetic but with the additional bathymetric details.
If you work in GIS (ArcGIS, QGIS) and polish layouts in Illustrator or similar, you’re the ideal fit. Please confirm you can source or generate robust bathymetric data for this exact region and outline how you’ll handle color management for print. A short note on timeline and a couple of portfolio examples of previous map work will help me decide quickly.
