Cognative Map

For this project, we were to design a map for what we were thinking. I chose to do a 3-Dimensional box that represented my mind. You would view through the slot seeing everything inside my mind. The items in the front where the ones I thought about most, the ones farther back were things I was not as focused on.

Perceptual Map

This is the second map in my project, the perceptual map. In this map, I was to emphasize the difference senses I perceived on my journey. I used a video to showcase what I saw, heard, felt, and smelled on my journey. The video follows my exact path of travel from my room to my first class. The sound changes to reflect the texture of the surface I am walking on. There are also different sounds for what I hear on my journey. Smell is represented through symbols and the cloud of smell that I walk through. I hoped to present my journey in a way that my audience could perceive the same senses I do by experiencing my same journey.

Artifact Map

This is the first map of a three part project.
In this project, we were to create an artifact map of our journey from home to school. Since I live on campus, I decided to trace my path from my room on campus to my first class. This map was to include more geographical and physical aspects of my journey. The idea was that someone unfamiliar with the area could read my map and be able to successfully complete the path of travel. Since my journey is very short, I decided to focus on the main guiding feature from my room to my class: the sidewalks. I created the sidewalks in the same form and pattern as the one's in my journey. With the sidewalks and the buildings as a reference, my map is very easy to read.
