Cassie Lagner- Revision part 2

I was debating whether or not I should create another blog about my revisions. I came to the conclusion I should because since last class I made some huge chances to my map and my memo. After working in the workshops, I realized I had all the wring design set ups. But that’s what the workshop is for, right? To improve your work based on outside perspectives. Before learning the CRAP principles, I used all different shapes in my map just to add some character, not realizing that using all these different shapes could be very confusing to a reader that is not me. I, of course, knew exactly why I did those different shapes, for pure enjoyment. Meanwhile hearing it from a peer and Tiffany opened a new perspective that it can be very challenging following the theme of my map. In the last blog I explained all the questions on the syllabus about where I did my project and all that fun jazz. I thought I needed to do this blog to point out the big “shitty draft” I created and then fixed. I like the idea of the workshops because it prevented me from creating a very confusing project. Now making those changes, I feel, helped me and others have a better understanding of the way my map flowed. I changed all the different shapes into one single shape and one single color and now looking at it, it is definitely easier to understand. This process was definitely different than the first draft because I had a better understanding of exactly what needed to be done in order for it to make sense. Even though I may have had a different and longer process than most, I am finally satisfied with my 5th draft. I look forward to creating the final draft.
