When the Auckland Botanic Gardens asked us to develop some highly detailed maps for two of their most popular gardens, we knew this was a job for Mike, our illustrator. Mike worked on this project over a few months - visiting the gardens, taking photos, using aerial photos for reference and sketching the layout in four stages of increasing detail.

One of our largest and most exciting projects was developing the interpretation along the Timber Trail, now one of the most popular routes in Nga Haerenga The New Zealand Cycle Trail.

In 2012 Snapper Graphics created a suite of signs and displays for the Department of Conservation at Maungauika North Head. The project involved some innovations, which we’d like to share. Now the Maunga Authority are the kaitiaki (guardians) of this site, we are involved with a review and updates of these signs.

We’re very proud to have been involved with the inception, development and on-going implementation of this stunning project. A wonderful initiative that encourages visitors to discover the real Waiheke - one step at a time.

We have been experimenting with new ways to add value to interesting locations. Great potential for viewpoints and for showing people around places they can’t enter.
