PRE WORK -


This is a first project lead by LOVELISH SIR AND PRACHI MAM

The pre task for this project was to make a hand - drawn map of a location with which we are familiar


I chose a spot close to my house "my colony"


Here is my hand drawn map -

White and black

colorful




STAGE - 1

In the stage 1 we were asked to make our map digitally I am not that much of good in the digital skills but i tried to make it good


Then we had a group discussion with Prachi mam

In the group discussion we were asked to visualize the out come of the final map


I want my map to be

1. My map should be professional

2. Attractive

Elements that can be used in our map

1. Density

2. Use sharp , bold , and curvy lines

3. colorful

4. icons


STAGE - 2


In this stage we were asked to complete our final map including all our icons and colors and lines .


For my final outcome of map i decided my map to look professional and not that much of colorful with bold lines and use of icons


Icons i used of my map -


I gave more attention to icons and tried to use minimum to no text. I also used bold lines for the icons.

i used these icons for my final map and placed them in different ways

i used only these icons - for the school (note books) , for the park (tree) , for the market (shopping bag ) , for the railways station (track) , for police station (hand cuffs) , restaurant (plate and spoons and fock ) university , bank (money)

map i made with icons

after this i had discussion with Prachi mam she asked me to change fill the color in icons and few more changes on that

then as i want my map professional for that i change the color of background of icons and i used black color


Then i also change my map a bit


This is a final look of my map after all the changes .


STAGE - 3

Abstraction

For stage 3 we got to know about Visual Elements of design

For this i again start with my line drawing of map and for the stage 3 we were asked to use at least 3 color and to apply the visual principals :- Balance, Emphasis, Movement, Rhythm, Harmony. 

Balance - elements in proportion or in equal distribution

Emphasis - a point of focus

Rhythm- eye movement from one point to another

Harmony - unity of all the elements

Arrange elements to create a visual hierarchy and support movement of the eye

For the abstraction i remove all the icons and use 4 colors


variation i did

but i was not that much of satisfied with this so i changed that

final look


experience of doing this was so exiting overall i enjoyed to work on my map
