further map development in production - big or small

With having created the map, with reference to Leeds.gov, I tested on the posters, to see what the best way of presenting it was. Whether having it fit the whole of the back of the artworks or by having a snapshot of where the place is instead and then including a full map in order to understand what the snapshot is. I tested on the m&s artwork first, with printing off both sides and then foiling each side:




With testing out the full map and the selection of the map, it was clear that having the bigger map was more effective. With feedback from peers stating that they also preferred the bigger map stating that it was easier to understand and visually works better. With this design decision it would perhaps mean that there doesn't need to be a map included separately as it shown on the back of each of the artworks. 
What also needs to be tested is how to do the maps on the back of each of the artworks, as having one foiled might look un coherent, so because of the black stock used perhaps testing out the white ink from the special printer may work as all the artworks would be coherent.
