Exercise 6 -- Map making -- The last exercise for the Quarter! Due September 26

The final exercise for the quarter will be to make a map in Adobe Illustrator.

Maps have obviously been a source of information for thousands of years.  Map making is the "world making" on a flat two dimensional surface.  The map maker is more than merely providing information, but as a designer laying out the lines and surfaces that will recreate this world for viewers.

Below are three examples of maps made in Adobe Illustrator:

1.  Disneyland Park

2.  London subway (aka London Tube)

3.  Reid Park Zoo

http://www.tucsonzoo.org/plan-your-visit/directions-maps-and-parking/

Your assignment is to make a map in Adobe Illustrator of one of the following locations.  Your map must include the following:  A title, at least 3 buildings (or structures), some text in a box, more than a couple colors giving the map life.  

Here are 5 places you can choose.

1.  Washington D.C. Mall 

2.  Teotihicuan, Mexico

3.  Tucson High School 

4.  Tatooine (City of Mos Eisley)

5.  Park Place Mall

Remember -- The assignment is due September 26

Exercise 4 - Haida/Navajo/Zuni Update

Class:

Exercise 4 (Haida/Navajo/Zuni/Yours) has been changed so that you only need to turn in 3 drawings.  Any additional drawing will be extra credit.

You must copy one image of each of the groups.

Your classmate did this set of drawings...you don't have to do these exact drawings but look how all 3 images got on to one art board.

Or...

You can make 3 art boards for the file...go see Presentation 2 in the shared folder on how to do that.
