DIAGRAMATIC PLANS can be effective too - just choose line weights and colors carefully - and dont forget to label key roads, districts, landmarks!

HAND DRAWING is quick and effective if you trace over a plan created in Illustator, GIS, CAD, or Sketchup - just be aware of line weight and color choices;
