MAP DESIGN

OBJECTIVE

To produce a map that relfects the ‘spirit of place‘ as a leading visual for the exhibition.

QUESTIONS TO ASK

ARTISTIC ODE TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

1.How can we best reflect the character of place? The aim of making a neighbourhood map is not to create the finest piece of art. Pick and choose the elements that highlight the narrative of the neighbourhood and be consistent in your style. 2.How can you help? Everyone can contribute to making a map. Divide tasks within the design team (sketching/writing/ layout design/ translation). 3.What kind of icons/ drawings best represent the stories you collected?

#mappingwhatmatters

step by step guide

Use your A1 google map print. Use tracing paper and a pencil to sketch the street pattern. Start with the main roads first, then work your way to the finer grid. When you’re happy with the result, use a coloured marker to create a more bold version of your neighbourhood street pattern and stick on top of a A1 white sheet of paper. Find a person with nice handwriting to name the main roads. Now start adding pins with the selected places and small illustrations or photos of your favourite places. Add a title, legend and compass and you’re done!

SESSION 6 MAP DESIGN - HAND DRAWN

A sketchy hand drawn map is quick to make and looks great! You can scan and print it, if you want to hand out copies to visitors at the exhibition.

Visual storytelling

Based on your research, observations and personal experience, you can select a unique perspective that reflects the spirit of this neighbourhood. Set a theme for your neighbourhood map. Everyone has different experience and feelings towards a place, that’s why no two maps are the same.
