Lab 05 - Boundary Files

Finished this lab after the exam on Tuesday.

While playing with the counties map and states map, i noticed that the actual state boundaries don't match up with the counties boundaries....i wonder where i went wrong..shall keep playing around to see if anything changes...

as for now:
Lab 5.

oh yea....still missing scale....will think of it shortly.....

Lab 04 - Typography

So, i couldnt find the lab paper professor Halden had given us with the map with the fonts already on it, and it wasnt available online, so i used a combination of all of your (student) maps to try to recreate it...i know i put it somewhere.....if only....

Campus Maps

Another interesting map. While in Chicago i was visiting my girlfriend at NIU and thought their campus map was intersting.

ChiTown - and Typography

I was in Chicago for the weekend; i sat at the train station looking at the Metra map and found them interesting.

The map uses a nice selection of typography tricks. One of the main things in graphic design and typography (one of my hobbies) is to use fonts which are either the same, or obviously different. Mixing fonts that are too similar cause the reader to not be sure if they are really different, or if it was done on mistake.

The type used makes the map look very modern, combination of maps and thicknesses make you understand whats what.
