GD1_Map_Project [Recovered]-01

For this project, I created a geographical map that showed some of the popular places in South Austin. I used colors that are more natural like the browns and yellows. I could of improved the iconic pins, with the symbols, by making them a color on a similar palette. This was not my favorite map out of the three because I felt that I could of improved it a lot more. I feel like the design could have been improved to speak to the “weird” and playful nature of South Austin which is not portrayed in this map. My process throughout creating this map started with making drafts of the map, symbols, and then adding texture. I think I made it look to “Western” which is something that I think was not a great choice. I feel like going with the more playful approach would have portrayed the concept a lot better.
