This personal geography map could have been of anything we personally wanted. It could be our walk/drive to school, it could have been a map of someone’s favorites places in Austin or all the natural lakes/rivers in the area. I chose to document my own personal walk from my apartment to class. It is an average of how cool/warm/hot it feels while walking. The places further away always have the higher feeling warmth due to the long walk, the sun and rushing, the closer by areas do not feel as warm because the walk is a lot shorter and are mostly shaded by trees and buildings. My design was mainly focused around the idea of colors indicating how cool or warm it felt. Most of this map is very bright and colorful and I feel like if I were to go back and edit this map I would change my color pallet so that the colors concerning the warmth or coolness are the focus. My design was simple and I feel like this helped get my concept to the viewer, making it easy to follow my path on my way to classes.
