GDC, Week 6 : GD Map Proposal

Map of Amusement Park. Why?

Since I began to study in depth graphic design, I realized how wide and immense the topic is. Graphic design can be studied endlessly from small sketches to installations of experimental design.

At our faculty it’s never boring. Lecturers always give us very interesting tasks where we need to include our imagination. Design itself is a very unusual profession where you constantly draw, invent, take pictures, conduct research.

Design is not boring, it is always unusual

A few examples for me that I will use in my map. I do not want my map to be too complex with many details. I want to make the design as simple and clear as possible for people who will see the meaning of the map right from the first minute.

As my lecturer suggested me I can use numbers for highlight the 22 projects that I am going to put in my Map. Also we have 4 types of Design which we also will show on the map, that's why I will divide my map on 4 sections, using 4 different colors for that :

Commercial Design 🔴

Responsible Design 🟡

Experimental Design 🔵

Discursive Design 🟢

When I was in the amusement parks, very often I could not find the way there and it even happened that I was lost.

I paid attention to every sign I saw. One of these pointers, I decided to make a pointer in the shape of the letter D - Design.

All the same, what we are creating now is design.

The map will be filled with many amusement figures from the park, so I try to make the figures simple enough so that people looking at the map manage to draw attention to every detail.

All the same, when the Design is very complex and filled with many elements, it seems to me that it needs to be simplified a little.
