The brief for this project asked me to devise inventive and experimental approaches to describing physical spaces.
Outcomes:
To create a visual mapping communication based on a real life context and understand how such information can be freshly addressed within the design process.
I started this project thinking I would only be able to map actual locations, e.g a street/area, a museum or a road map. However it was soon brought to my attention that I could map any physical space. I thought an interesting thing to look at would be human anatomy as there were many things that could resemble maps/road, such as the nervous system, the circulatory system, the brain and its functions.
Another thing I was interested in was the style of old maps and illustrations you would see in books of myths/greek mythology. I combined the two to create a 'Mind map/Maze' as my final outcome.
I also created a similar piece which was inspired by the greek myth about the minotaur, I liked the different patterns I could create and it was something that related to the brain as it was like a puzzle.
Typically in ancient greek labyrinths the goal/aim is placed in the middle and there is only one way in/out, whereas with a maze there are multiple path choices therefore I decided to combine both concepts in my outcome.
