Challenge	Adrian Fisher Mazes Ltd., the world’s leading maze design company, faced a significant challenge in designing and rendering complex maze configurations in full color. The company, which designs 90 mazes each year, needed an efficient way to share design renderings with clients located around the world. The challenge was to ensure that the various dimensions of a design, such as its navigational complexity or color treatment, could be well represented for the client’s clear understanding. This was particularly important for large-scale projects like the Jasmine Tea Maze, designed for the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Yunnan Province, China, which was set to be the largest permanent maze in the world.

About Customer	Adrian Fisher Mazes Ltd., owned by Adrian Fisher and his wife Marie, is the world’s leading maze design company. With a team of 12 designers and sales staff in Britain, and eight additional staff in other countries, the company has used a variety of materials to create mazes of all types and proportions at prominent sites around the globe. The company designs 90 mazes each year, including ‘finger’ mazes made of plastic for children’s playgrounds, and has designed the world’s first maize and water mazes. Fisher is a world-record breaker, having designed the largest permanent maze in the world for the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Yunnan Province, China. Read More
Solution	Adrian Fisher Mazes Ltd. turned to CorelDRAW to solve their design challenges. Using CorelDRAW, the company was able to develop various versions of the Jasmine Tea Maze, showing the bush composition and three separate networks of pathways with varying levels of navigation difficulty. The software allowed them to render their designs and send them as file attachments, making it easy to communicate their vision to customers. CorelDRAW also delivered considerable savings in the production of Fisher’s Finger Mazes by eliminating the need for manufacturer redrawings. The color capabilities of CorelDRAW were particularly valuable, allowing the company to match 43 different colors of clay available for brick paving to the appropriate Pantone, and then flood the color in and print it out.

Impact #1	The use of CorelDRAW has revolutionized the operations of Adrian Fisher Mazes Ltd. The software's color capabilities have allowed the company to create designs with unprecedented color precision, matching every single one of the 43 different colors of clay available for brick paving to the appropriate Pantone. This has resulted in designs that are more visually appealing and accurate. The software's zooming capabilities have also allowed the company to create highly detailed designs, which can be scaled up to the 12th decimal place for precision. The printouts from CorelDRAW are so precise that they are used as guides during onsite construction. The software's interoperability and seamless integration with other software like Corel Painter and Corel PHOTO-PAINT have also been beneficial, allowing the company to create more painterly versions of designs and easily convert the final product into a number of different formats.
