This week, I received information regarding recycling on campus, so I was able to add buildings that collect single stream recycling to my map. I think it came together pretty nicely, and am quite happy with the result even though it is not what I had originally pictured. I still have some minor edits, and hope to add labels to specify different buildings and maybe change the colors. I am also unsure if I will be able to produce both a hard copy and online version of the map over the next couple of weeks. Even if I cannot, I am sure there will need to be edits and new additions in the near future to incorporate more sustainability projects and adjust to changes made by facilities. I hope that someone continues the map after I leave so there can be recent copies as new sustainability projects happen on campus.
Some struggles I have realized over the past couple of weeks include the large amount of time and attention to detail that is required to make a map, especially when digitizing a bunch of buildings. I definitely have a new respect for people who do this on a regular basis. I have also had trouble deciding on the aesthetic features for this project because I am a very indecisive person and cannot tell what looks best.
As I finish up over the next week, I am still gladly taking suggestions for any improvements my fellow classmates may have! I am looking forward to having a final product and working on the poster.
I think that this looks very good! Nice job. One suggestion that I would have might be to have some sort of system for labeling the buildings so people know which is which more easily.
