When highlighting each layer in Illustrator I am inspired the different coloured lines created for each direction and square points.

This is a quick video I made using iCapture. It shows the formation of the map and how each direction is layered. To create the map I used Adobe Illustrator after having may troubles with Indesign and Photoshop. My next steps are to experiment with colour coding, indirect and direct information and maybe visualizing the sex of each person? I would also like to walk each route to gather a estimated time but I do not have time to do this today, so maybe after the deadline? From walking the routes I would be able to see which ones are the quickest and maybe which ones are visually or mentally pleasing.

Experimenting with the layout of the map. Drawing curved lines instead of straight angles.

By overlaying the information I collected in Charing Cross I was able to see who’s information was direct or indirect. I then plan to develop how I am going to display this map in the exhibition. I have experimented with acetate overlays, and also creating a sound map.

Over the weeks I have been collecting hand drawn maps. Ive asked people to direct me from oxford street to charing cross. I asked people to do this to see how they mentally map a route.

From analyzing the audio I collected at Charing Cross I was able to analysis the directions given.

Whilst writting my VCT essay I found out that London Taxi drivers have a larger hippocampus than most. Read more about the ‘sat navs’ in our brains on the Wellcome Trusts wesbite. Very interesting facts and theories.

I am currently thinking about ways in which people give directions. My attention will be focused on off route information. Immediate directions can be given through forms of text messaging, a phone call or face-to-face and hand drawn maps.
Above are directions that I have collected. I have then illustrated the direct pointers given to me.
