Mental Maps

Course and Instructor: Foundations of Geography, Dr. Ezra Zeitler

Description: The premise of this assignment was to visualize a place that was familiar to us, and to create a "mental map" using Adobe Illustrator. These types of maps are not meant to be precise recreations of a place, but rather an exercise in spatial thinking, recollection, and recording. 

Reflection: As this assignment was an introduction to Adobe Illustrator, I chose to create a map of my childhood home a simple subject to practice creating basic shapes and compositions using that software. If I were to do this assignment again, I would reconsider the color scheme to make it more visually appealing. Additionally, I may redo the font type and size to create a clearer visual hierarchy.
