Maze of the Week #35 - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Maze

Maze of the week #35 rocks. I am happy to present a maze of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. If you are a fan of music, and who isn’t ?, then you would love to visit the rock hall. I have had the pleasure of visiting multiple times. It is featured on the site this week because it was dedicated on September 1, 1995. The beautiful building was designed by architect I.M Pei. It reminds me of The Louvre which I also recently mazed. As someone who has lived in downtown Cleveland, I should mention that there are speakers around the downtown that play music from the RRHOF in the Summer. One of the speaker stacks is in this maze, and sits just outside the museum.

Learn more about the Rock Hall, and maybe even plan a visit.

Here is a photo of the museum on the shores of Lake Erie:

The mazes: I made this 4 times, each with different colorations. The face of the building changes colors based on the light and weather. The first version is where I landed, but I have included my second favorite also below. Note that the maze is poster sized and formatted to 24 x 42. It looks best printed on a large piece of paper.

And I assure you, this blue variation is also how the museum looks at times !

Maze of the Week #34 - Bok Tower Gardens Maze

Maze of the week #34 features the Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, Florida, and specifically the Bok Gardens Tower. It has a long and interesting history and you can learn all about the gardens and plan a visit by visiting their website. It hosts events and can be rented for weddings.

Here is a photo of the tower:

The maze: I went with black and white. I have considered colorizing it, but decided against it because of the individual shade each brick has. I like that the bricks made for a nice grid construction.

I hope you enjoy the maze. Downloads of the maze are available.

Maze of the Week #33 - First Missionary Baptist Church Sign Maze

We return to a favorite subject of mine for maze of the week #33, a sign maze. This particular sign comes to us from the First Missionary Baptist Church in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a historically important church, and it’s congregation was first organized in 1845. I suggest you read about it’s history on it’s Wikipedia page, or on this website dedicated to black history.

I was browsing signs on the internet and found this one. I like structure and the way the small pops of color play off the majority black and white sign.

Let’s take a look at a photo of the sign before getting to my maze:

The maze: It is a standard maze and I used yellow as the wall color because it looked better than white. Because the neon tubes are white I also framed the maze in a light grey so they are visible on the edges of the sign.

I hope you enjoy the maze. Downloads of the maze are available at the mazes permanent home.

Maze of the Week #32 - The Louvre Maze

I am excited to present my maze of the week #32, The Louvre, the most visited museum in the world in Paris, France. I was fortunate enough to visit it for many hours one day and it is huge and completely worth your time. It is home to the Mona Lisa (smaller than you think) and the Venus de Milo. It originally opened its doors on August 10, 1793, thus the launch on the site this week. Happy Birthday.

There is a lot to say about this museum and if you want to find out more, Wikipedia The Louvre or visiting the museums website in English would be a good start.

How about a quick tour of the museum in 4K?

You can find many photos of the Louvre so I will assume you know what it looks like. Let’s get right into the mazes:

The Mazes: My first version is a standard black and white version:

And my second and third versions are something new, mixed media mazes using a version of my maze overlayed on a photo of the Louvre. I could not find the photographer to properly attribute them as this photo is found on many websites. This version also is wide angle to showcase more of the wonderful nighttime photo. I did 2 versions, a white background and one that uses the reflection of the buildings color.

I hope you enjoy the mazes. Downloads are available at the mazes permanent home.
