Treasure Mapping was a quick half day project with a bunch of younger students with the simple idea: A typographic treasure hunt in the local area. (In this case Clerkenwell, London.) The brief had different levels depending on how adventurous the students felt and it had a homework part where the students had to map their finds on a sheet - just to geek out on the pirate theme.

Geekiness was the hidden agenda with this one, getting the students to open their eyes to their surroundings.

I had marked a "burn here" line around the brief, but I didn't expect anyone to actually do it. Never underestimate what procrastination can produce...
