A special kind of magic happens when you overlay a common map with some imaginative images of what could be going on down there.
Good illustrated maps tell the story of a place or event in a way that makes people want to visit the destination, & helps them find it, too.
In class, students will learn techniques to make an inventive map that can do just that. We’ll cover what’s essential for way-finding & what to leave out, and how to create meaningful, expressive icons that will entice viewers.
Graphics software is recommended, but not required. Class meets on Zoom.
