Answer: 2D Art Project Final (The Criteria )

A More Extensive Anwser: As I am sure you took a glance over the criteria by now. Perhaps you've noticed the problem I've pointed out. The type of problem that would only present itself as a problem to an indecisive person, such as myself. Essentially you have to: make a map...of anything. Anything! Awe struck by this excessive freedom I found myself making a list of map possibilities. On reviewing the list, I decided to incorporate it all through a map of my thought progression for this project. So I figured the best way to throw a lot of random ideas together and present it in a less confusing manner would be a website. So here it is my My 2D Final Project: Mapping out my Thought Process for my 2D Final Through Cartography.

The Criteria

• A project exploring identity through the language and design of cartography
• Your goal is to create an idiosyncratic map exploring your identity through one of three thematic approaches to conceptual map making as described in Katherine Harmon's book, Your Are Here
• Some examples are:
  • Theme One: Personal Goegraphies
    • Your body
    • Your dreams/nightmares
    • Your ambitions
    • Your genealogy
  • Theme Two: A Home in the World
    • Memory map of neighborhood gorwing up
    • Air routes of all the places you've been
    • Your disasterous camping trip
  • Theme Three: Realms of Fantasty
    • Map based on Calvino's Invisible Cities or other favorite text
    • Map of the city you most want to visit but have never been to
  • And as of course, known to all in Krista Hoefle's classes, if you can present it and make it work: anything goes.
  • So make a map basically...about anything...
