Map Project

For this project I created a map of my experience in the Grinstead Building at the University of Central Missouri. Because I am a Graphic Art major, a photography minor, and my emphasis area is graphic design I spend a lot of my time in this building. I started by scanning in a map of Grinstead so all the classroom sizes would be proportionate to one another. To better organize all of the information, I color coded the years that I took the classes and designated the floors by stroke weight. The registration marks represent Graphic Art, the cameras represent Photography, and the pencils represent Graphic Design. I chose the colors because they are a printers process colors and I think it really is all tied together with those colors.

Overall, I found this project to be really fun but also very challenging because keeping that much information organized and interesting at the same time was no easy task.
