me and Jony are both working for the map design.
I’ll illustrate for the locations : water front, botanical garden, and cable car lane
Jony will draw for the locations : civic square and railway station
Here are my map drawings:
I am focusing on the making of the map.
We reckon that by drawing up the whole map using isomatric view will make the map looks very complicated and especially hard for the user to view it on Ipaq. After discussion we have agreed on the style of the map to be a combination of 2D and 3D. The map will be based on a simple 2D top view, and for the specific spot that we will be using (civic square, water front, railway station etc), the area will be drawn out more detailed. This way, it will not only make the overall look of the map more clean and tidy, also it attracts the participant’s interest as it highlighted the spot that they’ll be going.
I’m planning to get it done by next Tuesday. Will post up the map once it’s done.
I’ve been thinking for the activity concepts for the sites “civic square” and “water front”.
for Civic square, it is near to the library, so one possible activity to do is to go into the library to do some research on some transports. Maybe ask them to find out the carbon emission rate for 3 of the transports that they come across when they make their way to the civic square. The method of research can be or not be restricted to books only.
for water front, at daytime I notice there are a few carbon free transportation driving around, eg, bicycle, skate board, the “four seater bike” etc. We can send them to find 3 of these carbon free transports and take pictures of them.
or… there are a few bus stops around Tepapa. We can set an active area and ask them to find and locate all the bus stops within that active area. This way, they’ll learn and remember all the bus stops around that area.
That’s all for now. Will updates if I can think of any other possible activities.
