1. What did you learn?
How to trace a map and create a color palette for this map. I also learned how to create a compass, scale, and flag.
2. What was easy?
Creating the map was very easy. Tracing all the roads and river. I like the way it turned out.
3. What was challenging?
Deciding on the area of where I was going to do the map. I wanted a interesting area without a lot of open space and I though this area was fun.
4. How could your submission be improved?
I think I should have made my roads a little more clearer. But it works. I would also maybe pick a better color scheme.
5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?
I think this assignment was well designed. Maybe a step by step on how to do the roads to make it the most clean image.
6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?
Using the pen tool in illustrator I will use in the future.
7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?
I just like buffalo, so I decided to a map of the bustling area of Buffalo.
