Midterm Portfolio

 I have extended your portfolio will be due on Monday March 20th. It should include your trading card front and back as well as your finished map. I have included 3 maps for inspiration. Remember these should be decorative and functional. My sons friend created a map in her sketchbook by spilling rice on the pages to randomly place objects, trees, etc (see below). I believe she got the idea on TIK TOK. I have also included a zoo map from the Knoxville Zoo as well as a map from Leo Belgicus by Hondius & Gerritsz, 1630.

Make your maps detailed, visually interesting, and user friendly. 

Use the following tools/processes we covered in class to help create your finished map
The pen tool
The shape tool
Pathfinder
Stroke and brushes
Fills and patterns

Kinda threw this together

 

Map Concept

Concept: an island town designed like a video game map but the details are colored like a Minecraft map.

My updated map has been mysteriously deleted.
So, I'm going to make a new one.

Map Concept - Priscilla

 



This is what I have so far - I copied the shape from the image of a scroll. I love the look of aged maps with a lot of detail, 
and I chose the LOTR Elvin map of Lothlorien and a viking map for inspiration.

I'd like to include a working community on the map, with gardens, structures, and maybe even farm animals and wildlife, but I haven't found ways to create that yet. 

                                    I need to watch more tutorials.

Map Concept


For my map I was thinking about making up a map for the science fiction story Shadow Over Innsmouth. This is just the first idea sketched out. I'm definitely going to change some things and add some more to it.

Map (WIP) - Chad Doss

For my map, I want to create something based off of the Witcher videogame series. There isn't really any treasure maps in the Witcher, so I wanted to make one that fits within the world.  Im still brainstorming so I don't have a visual representation of my project.

Concept



 This is what I have sketched for my map so far, it will be a fantasy land. 


Map Ideas - Erin West

 For my map, I would like to make it dog themed. I have still been trying to come up with ideas on how to accomplish this concept, but I would like to make it recognizable that the only inhabitants that live there are dogs.

Map WIP

 

I’m creating a fictitious map. I’m no where near done, I plan on weathering the map and adding a lot more landmarks and things like that, and of course I need to find a font, the N, S, E, and W are just a place holder for now. Really I just picked a fictitious map for the fun of creating something new, and I’ve been wanting to try out a way to create the land masses that I have seen others do before.

I also don’t have a clue why it appears so blurry on blogger.

Unfinished Map.




Here's my unfinished map.
