Local Coffee Shops of Indy Map

This was a graphic design project in my Design Methodology class. The project was to design a concept map for a specific location with a specific audience with 6-8 items of interest. Once the location was selected, the audience and/or subjects of interest could be chosen. Then research could begin to fully understand and comprehend what the location had to offer as well as the specific spots that would be on the map. Next, sketching and/or planning of the map could begin to get all of the ideas out of the mind and onto a page. I explored some colors to figure out a color palette I liked and thought would work well for this project. I also experimented with some typography for the title text. Then finally, I designed the compass rose for the map.
