Micro Project Explanation

In this project we were asked to describe our journey to class. My project is a relatively simple piece, it is igera map of the Ohio State campus with a couple pictures on top of it that have some significant meaning to me on my way to class. On the map you will see a yellow line going from my apartment to Ohio Stadium with red dots located along the line. The red dots represent landmarks that I notice on the way to class every day. The yellow line is the exact route that I follow to class. At the End of both ends of the yellow line you will see pictures of my apartment and a picture of Ohio Stadium. Those two pictures represent the start of my journey and end of it. You will also see two more red dots located on the line, these two lines are the Buffalo Wild Wings that is on the corner of Lane and High street and the Ohio State ROTC building. These are the two landmarks that stick out the most to me on my way to class. Also on this piece you will see what looks like a map key in the right bottom corner. In this key I have put three items, a music symbol, an orange Gatorade, and a granola bar. Every day when I walk to class I use all three of these items. I am always listening to music; it is what wakes me up in the morning. I also have my breakfast on my way to class with my granola bar and orange Gatorade.  Basically, this blog describes the meaning of my piece. Hopefully it allows you to better understand the meaning of this piece

  1. Describe what you see in detail: Bing map of trip. Yellow paint show the path with red dots at landmarks. Pictures accompany landmarks. In the bottom right corner, iTunes icon, Gatorade, and Nature Valley bars tell us what he does during his trip.

    What is the artist telling you about their trip? The path, the buildings that he sees, and what he does (music, gatorade, breakfast).

    What element of the image is working most successfully for you? The very bright yellow highlighted path. Attention grabbing.

    What one suggestion would you make to the artist to improve the piece? The images in the bottom right corner seem out of place. Perhaps place them along the path.
