Cognitive Map

For my cognitive map, I was able to get a little more abstract with my elements. This map represents expressions felt, as well as things seen on my trips between Austin and Houston. I wanted to focus specifically on how 'urban' both cities had become, along with match each city with what I felt it's corresponding color scheme. My reason for emphasizing each city in a graffiti-like style was due to my interest, at the time, in each city's distinct 'graffic' style.

Perceptual Map

For the Perceptual Map, I wanted to portray auditory and visual signals experienced throughout the drive. At the time of this piece, I was in a Reggae phase music-wise so I filled half the background sound waves with the traditional red, yellow, and green of the culture.

Artifact Map

The Artifact Map of our Personal Geography Project was the most literal of the three. The route I chose goes between my home in Houston and my apartment back in Austin. I opted to show only major highways in and around the path I take from Austin to Houston.
