For this homework, you will need to create a Wayfinding Device based on a specific time in your life. Wayfinding is usually used to help navigate people around physical spaces. It can also be used to help others understand how you have navigated through your life!

Making Sense of Maps TED Talk by Aris Venetikidis

Instructions

You will create a Wayfinding Device based on a specific time in your life. You are making a wayfinding device for others that explains the course of your life for understanding that time in your life. The Map should consider the following:

Question A. What is the scope of your map? When does it start and when does it end in time?
Question B. What important decisions or choices did you have to make that might have altered the course of your life?
Question C. What accomplishments are you proud of along the way?
Question D. What kind of obstacles or hurdles did you endure or conquer on this path?
Question E. Where is the path headed that will lead off the map?
Question F. Has the path been a straight one? Curved and winding? Uphill, or going in circles?

Note: What is it about your experience that is unique? If someone makes a device that has: Born, Went to School, Got a job, Started at Miami... How many other people share these general categories of experience?

Try to make yours unique to only you. The reason you chose your field of study is more interesting than the actual choice of your school. Did something happen when you were very young that impacted your choices today? Did you meet someone who influenced who you have become? Have you experienced anything traumatic that has compelled you to where you are today?

1. Design: Draw or design a wayfinding map that is a visual record of how you have navigated through your life choices. Markers, crayons, and image editing programs can be used to create your design. If you draw your map, a High-quality photograph is required with high resolution, no blurring, and clear and legible details. Make a large map, this will be much easier to photograph the details.

2. Written Companion: 3-6 principles, including all the elements of Wayfinding as described through the Ted Talks, and 3-5 other principles from module 3. Be sure to identify and explain how and why these principles are used in your design.

Common Errors and Warnings

1. Scope: Narrow your focus, do not try to map your entire life. Instead, choose a narrow focus: the development of a specific relationship, your passion for a sport, or hobby, map your journey from hobby gardener to a botanist in the study!

2. Too much Text: Do not rely on the text to tell your story, this is a design class, rely on icons, images, colors, and shapes to tell your story, remember Image Superiority is the quickest and most effective way to grab your audience's attention.

3. Hierarchy and Entry Point: Make the entry point clear, and the beginning, middle, and end of the path clear and easy to follow. Think about game designs, these often tell visual journeys with clear starting points and endings.

Write about your Principles! Do not spend the majority of your writing telling the reader about your journey without mentioning principles, the aim of these homeworks is the comprehension of the principles. Tell me about your journey, but always connect it back to your first aim, the principles.
