Strip Map by Fonne Tayne

April 17th, 2007 10:04 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Create a strip map modeled on Ogilby's maps.

"A strip map is a process map, a diagram of how to go from one place to another; route and destinations are predetermined. Ordinary maps are state maps describing the whole countryside; the user decides where to go from wherever he is."

Your map should provide an intimate description of what might be seen on a journey, from a slow moving vehicle or on foot.

Be sure to examine the example image below.

here ya go, telegraph ave. in berkeley, calif.

this is the first installation (of 3) before it's completed. people do that, right?

originally i hand drafted "from end to end" meaning all the way to downtown oakland, but since i decided to do a handdrawn map instead of with illustrator, it's taken longer than i thought and has taken me quite a number of uglified drafts. i'm really not so used to working with paper anymore.

basically i just didn't want it to sit around anymore, but i promise i'll continue on with it as best i can and add the rest of the information that i've put together. it's not quite to scale but i did do some double-checking on placement: you can use it and get around.

what's wrong with people- that's pretty detailed info- including 'Alta Bates- don't get sick here, it'll cost you an arm & a leg...'

You know what would be awesome though? I drawing of the scary building.
