In this presentation a thought process is shown that outlines design decisions and bottlenecks in a cartography project from scratch.

1. Proposal presentation
for production of an outdoor
map
In response for an open tender from an art’s organization

2. What is the objective
of the new map?
“Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the
sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of
stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows
lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find
them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the
darkness bind them.
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows
lie.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien

3. Collating information from local maps

4. Design Documentation checklist
(source: adobe xd ideas)
• Memorandum of
understanding (MoU)
• Information about users (aka
user persona)
• Product features
• Project deadlines
• Design decisions from team
and stakeholders

5. Process of mapping
Testing an augmented 3D model by the
Ordnance Survey on the spot at Eade rd
An example of illustration of buildings
from Prianka Kumar’s ‘Hotel Dissent’
series of illustrations

6. Google Visualization API

7. Using Satellite Technology

8. Geoinformatics learning curve

9. Seeking inspiration from Mass Events
Glastonbury Boomtown

10. Expectations VS
Reality
Analyzing best practices revealed an
excellent example of scheme of a repurposed
industrial area from Arma Factory in Moscow

11. Case study: user persona
• Local business Sell Books Ltd
moved in rather recently it
makes a donation on your
behalf in return for second
hand books.
• Sell Books’s director about the
map project: ‘The warehouse
community does need a bit
more recognition’

12. Vector Map drawn
from memory of a
job seeker at one of
the local businesses

13. In fact Sean, the
director of Sell Books
Ltd showed interest
in the project and
wanted his business
to be included on
the map (n13)

14. Choosing the style of illustration
Geoinformatics offer different styles of
charting the map of the warehouse district
in London
So do illustrators, CGI designers or
architects. (e.g 8bit gaming pixel art)

15. Combining style with substance

designer
