This is my second archived maze that is being re-done. The first was the Museum of the North in Alaska. What is in the archive ? Basically, mazes that few people care about. But I care about this maze, and so I improved it. Here is the original post:

Maze of the Week #25 - National Center for Civil and Human Rights Building Maze

So this is the 3rd time I touched this maze. It was originally only in black and white, then I took the time to colorize it.

Here are the enhancements I made to improve the maze:

1. Changed the Size. Changed the height from 7 to 5.3 inches, which I used to reduce the lawn size ! Then I changed the width from 14 to 13.2 inches and reduced the empty space on the left of the building.

2. New Title Size. I used a new smaller font on title

3. Branding Changed. I reduced the branding size by 15%. On the smaller size the brand was too large.

4. Arrows Changed. I reduced the size of the start and goal arrows by 35% so they weren’t so overpowering.

5. Minor Pathway Changes. I made it so there are slightly wider entrance and exit pathways to the maze.

6. Nook Changed. I used a new shadow technique used on front of the building nook that changes the color to be more accurate (from greenish to a dark yellow).

7. Lawn Changes. I added texture to the lawn. I thickened the reeds on the right side at the exit. I added a new hill on left in the horizon.

8. Windows Changed. I changed front window tiles from black to dark charcoal to be more accurate. You won’t notice.

9. Added the Sky.

Here is the before before and the before and after:
