My design for this project was inspired by cartoons, especially little girl cartoons. The design definitely has a "girl game" feel. I love all the bright colors i used. Even though flash is tough i really like my interactive game play. Although all days at St. Edwards are interesting, i think i brought a little bit more color and pizzaz to the map of our campus.
My Daily Walk
Title: My Daily Walk
Course: Graphic Design 1
Instructor: Daniel Lievens
For this project, I have created an interactive map showing my daily walk from my living area, Basil Moreau Casitas, to Fleck Hall. I chose to engage the viewer by allowing the viewer to control "me" with the arrow keys. The viewer can go at their leisure. Throughout the walk, as my icon walks along the path, information bubbles appear with something I encounter every day. The information is general and personal. I used Flash and Illustrator.
For this project I had to create a map showing a path that I walk everyday. My path is from my apartment to the gym. It shows several objects that I see everyday.
Personal Geography
My personal geography consisted of my walk from the parking garage to the art building. My interactive map had initially started out very detailed but then got to complicated to try to communicate my experiences through my icons. My final map was left simple as buttons were incorporated to show what I saw along my walk. My buttons included heavy acorn mess, squirrel sightings, bike racks, crow crossing, lawn mowing, and heavy traffic as the remaining icons were just used to explain what that one icon in the map represented. The map is navigated by clicking the two sides arrows, right arrow to go forward and left arrow to go back. Once you get through the path with the side arrows, you can then click on the icons to show where you might see the specific sightings. My last component involves viewing the history of the buildings and what goes on within them. You can mouse over any building and read up and see photos of where you're at on my journey.
