Mapping as a Design Process
Mapping seems to be a pretty interesting and useful idea. I know that may seem a bit silly at this point since it seems to be one of the founding ideas of this new order of designer and all, but hey, it's new to me!
During the last class we were shown a lot of examples of maps to try to give us an idea of the scope of information they could convey. We were also asked to produce a few maps oursleves for our class today drawing on our perspectives of the role of the designer and the information we've been developing within our group projects.
I enjoyed today a lot, because none of us were really very familiar with this method of conveying information so it was nice to see the different ways we overcame this issue. Not only that but see all the different information we were trying to convey, from peoples emotions to businesses heirarchical structures.
