We were told make a vector map of our locality, where we had to try to make it understandable and as detailed as possible in our own creative ways and perspective. This was a really interesting assignment to do for me personally since I got another reason to explore my city again, the area i chose was the university near by my house where, i almost go 5 to 6 days in week to talk or to get up and freshen up a little in outdoors, especially to enjoy the days with good weather, for me this was new thing to make since i brainstorm to make this map in a different way from others, for me signs are more of different patterns when it comes to drawing & again this assignment gave me reason to visit my favorite as usual but this time i observed things more keenly and got more interested to explore every little details of that area and than put that whole thing on to a piece of paper.
to out line our map on illustrator. It was quit a learning process as I learned more about
tools on illustrator.
The location sign was a little tricky to be made as I face some difficulties while making the icon since the icon was made of two different basic shapes it was difficult to Merge both of them and create the icon that looks like it, this icon was to be used in the illustrated map that has been made before so as to depict the different locations in the map, the process of making the location icon started with blending two different shapes together with the use of shape building tool.
