This post is meant to pull together all of my case studies on making mazes for easy reference. As I add new case studies, this post will be updated. There are over 30 posts to read, but I have organized them into larger sections to help get you to the content you are interested in easier.
In my very large section on How to Make a Maze I include a post on maze art which includes a case study at the end to illustrate the post:
How to Create Maze Art in 6 Easy Steps + Case Study
The first set of 6 case studies show a maze that I did not like, then I worked on them to improve them for the site:
Case Study#1 - How to Improve a Bad Maze - Tiki Totem Maze
Case Study#2 - How to Improve a Bad Maze - Danzante Conchero Chichimeca Maze
Case Study#3 - How to Improve a Bad Maze - Red Rocks Amphitheatre Maze
Case Study#4 - How to Improve a Bad Maze - The Hollywood Sign
Case Study #5 - How to Improve a Bad Maze - Severance Hall
Case Study#7 - How to Improve a Bad Maze - Ship
The next set of 6 case studies show a maze that I considered to be good, but I still took steps to improve them. They were all inspired by a blog post about improving existing maze art, Maze Art: Advanced Tips to Creating Your Own Masterpiece.
