  • Central Park Spring Guide
    This is a spring like no other. When the world is in disarray, the natural wonder of a new season unfolding becomes a simple joy and a reminder of nature’s profound power to regenerate and revive. The Central Park Conservancy has been New York’s advocate for Central Park for the last four decades. And now, our staff’s role has become even more important as we work to keep the Park clean, safe, and healthy. A vibrant Central Park cleans the air for New Yorkers, provides a place for mental and physical well-being, and brings us together — even when we are kept apart. This spring, we ask you to join us in celebrating the simple miracles of life: the blooming magnolia, the sweeping vistas from a miniature castle, and the community that is New York. IN THIS GUIDE We look forward to a time when we can be together 2 A Note to Park-Goers in the Park. Until then, we hope our Spring Guide 3 Get to Know Central Park’s Spring Blooms provides you with a taste of the season. 4 Preparing for Spring in Conservatory Garden 5 Central Park Activities 10 Central Park Quiz 11 Central Park Map 2 A NOTE TO PARK-GOERS New York City has seen its share of crises, yet despite all we’ve lived through, New Yorkers remain resilient. In times of turmoil, Central Park has always been here, as a respite, an oasis, or simply a quiet place to escape when we feel overwhelmed. This holds true even as the City navigates the coronavirus outbreak.

    Name: Eureka Du Address: 1200 State Street, Utica 13502 NY Email: [email protected] Typography and Information Design PrattMWP College of Art and Design Class #1 Professor: Christina Sharp Content 1.creative brief 4.ideation 2.research 5.development 3.inspiration 6.conclusions Creative Brief In this map project we are selecting a New York State Park, and redesign an engaging and exciting map for the park in Adobe Illustrator for potential visitors through compositions, symbols, icon systems, labels, illustrations, and colors. The redesigned map should be practical and able to be used in the real world. My choice on the New York State Park is the Central Park in Manhatten New York. I Chose Central Park because of my own experience. As a first time visitor in New York last year, I visited Central Park with my cousin who has been living in NewYork for seven years. While I was doing my research, I did not find any map for first-time visitors from the central park official website. If I were on my own while I first visited Central Park, I would not be able to know where to begin my visit. I am sure that the other first-time visitors would have the same problem. These are the reasons that my map is designed for first-time visitors who have a limited amount of time. In my map, I featured several top attractions in and around the park. I also included some top-rated restaurants around and inside the park since Knowing where to consume good food is essential during visiting.

Central Park’s designers, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, struggled to establish themselves as artists and to equate their work with the venerable tradition of landscape painting. When the Park was near completion, Olmsted affirmed its status as a “single unified work of art.” Like every other work of art, Central Park is entirely difference that seasonal foliage and vegetation bring to each man-made. The only natural feature on the Park site is carefully composed landscape. the metamorphic rock called Manhattan schist, which is One criterion used to critique a great work of art is its approximately 450 million years old. To create the Park’s longevity—the ability to elicit emotion and communicate naturalistic lakes and streams, low-lying swamps were meaning long after its creation. In this sense, Central Park drained, a naturalistic shoreline was established, and is a masterpiece that has survived the test of time. City water pipes were installed; to create the Park’s vast, undulating meadows, swampland was filled with soil and Like every great work of art, Central Park requires constant rock outcrops were leveled with gunpowder; to create the care and attention to maintain its present beauty and energy.
