Maps, mapping & map making

So today in our lecture Donald gave a lecture about the Historical background of maps and things to do with maps and mapping also cover simplicity vs complexity; Style/Decorative types of maps; illustrative maps; 3-dimensional maps; abstraction maps etc.
This was to give us an overview of maps and the different types of maps you can get. this was good because it gave me some ideas about how my map might look.
I liked the look of the student work featured on stream with the map they used so tried to see if it would work with my layout.

Class Interim

So today I wasn't able to come to class because of sickness so wasn't able to present my work to the interim class presentation. However in staying at home, I emailed my tutors the work I had tried to do over the weekend, for the interim presentation I missed.
With the feedback I got, I will try to develop my layouts more and improve them, and show what I had done for the next class.

Layout Ideas

Today at the start of class our lecturers gave us some print outs of layout and text examples to help us prompt and get ideas for our layouts.
After this we showed our layouts and what we have done so far. So as table groups we laid out our work and talked about each and everyones layout and critiqued them. After that we worked on our layouts more.

Collages Developments

Today we worked on our own work and collages however when our lecturers came round to talk to us one on one (I hate collages and told him) and he said they don't have to be collages but can be illustrations related to your subject and topic for your brochure.
So for the rest of that class I came up with illustrations from the few collages I had done, and started to come up with layout ideas for my brochure.

Collages I tried to create:

Getting ideas for Collages

So today in class we needed to bring collages we had started on, however I wasn't in class on Monday so wasn't able to bring anything. So we looked as a class at people work and critiqued them and I was able to get some ideas for collages of my own.
So in this class, I started to collect colour pallet ideas and images and shapes to start creating my own collages. In collecting images of my places in the weekend, it was helpful to start using and adding them in for the collages.
