Above is a simplified version of the most relevant area of the map. We chose not to include the right side of the map because there were very few napping areas so there was alot of wasted space where we could possibly include something more important. To the left is a map found in the 'You Are Here' book from one of my previous posts. It has inspired our illustrative and simple look. We thought that by hand rendering the map it would give a more personalised feel to the new students. Also, it was necessary for the map to be as simple as possible because we had to take into account that the person reading it would be very tired and not able to take in much information. The coloured rooms have been done with watercolour to give it a messy look. The same goes for the library map above.
COLOUR SCHEME:
Above are a number of colour schemes available to us that we think are appropriate. Most are calming colours that reflect how the person using it wants to feel. Others are navy blues that have connotations of darkness and night when people usually sleep.
So here we have physically gone through the First Floor marking where the most 'nappable' areas are. They are measured from yellow to purple to navy- navy being the most desperate napper.
This is a map of the library, which we are going to include in the leaflet because it is arguably the most 'nappable' area within the college.
This is the First floor of Leeds College of Art. We all thought that it would be the most relevant floor to base our map because it is aimed at us as students and our department is based here.
General Map research. Above is a pull out, which would be relevant to consider for the format because our target audience (students) need, and want, it to be small and concise. -this format enables you to put alot more information in a small leaflet.
