Productivity Map

Here we were assigned a map of St. Edward’s. Personally, I spend most of my time on campus because of my double major. Much like the coffee shop map, I wanted to map out where I could go on campus for either work or leisure. My choropleth, or informational layer, was where I worked, where I relaxed, or both. Because JBWS ended up being a mix of both, I added a floor breakdown of my productivity.

I made the structure 3D with crooked lines because I wanted to have a fun style. I settled on shades of green for my roads as my base color. I was trying to avoid using white again. I selected pink for work because of it’s intensity, and yellow for leisure because of it’s position on the color wheel near pink and its mellowness. Originally, I did not have the gradient key in the top left. The key was in the subheader with the bolded and colored words “work” and “leisure”. After a few critiques, it was obvious this key wasn’t enough, so I added the gradient key as well. Buildings that I don’t venture into were left very neutral so the choropleth could have extra emphasis.
