Process work: Map

This project’s purpose was to investigate an area of the city in order to create an identity for it. I chose to work with the Boardwalk which is a continuation of the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail. There were a few ways we could investigate, one including the creation of a map that features something no existing maps feature. The map I created features roads, the boardwalk, river, and common findings along the trail. When I visited the boardwalk in person I noticed there were a lot of chairs and sitting areas located up and down the path as well as kayak rental shops. Realizing no other maps had these points and it might be a good idea to let people know about these interesting features. I used an easy to read font and used minimal images to keep the map from being busy and allowing emphasis to be put on the key features of the boardwalk.
