VISUALLY DEPICTING INFORMATION The map and corresponding icons presented here, are the result of explorations into map making itself, and the function that visual representations of common objects play. My particular map features the major rooms and important articles within my own home (thus the name). I began with a photo, and converted the outline of it to a main shape, which I then divided into rooms on a flat layout. Each icon was uniquely crafted to portray the item it represented in the style of the overall map itself flat design in simple black and white). There is no map key, only design and contextual clues. The only text is the title, room names, and the current location (based on where it hangs in my actual home).
