From the former presentation, we knew that the requirement of assignment is misunderstood. We are not supposed to make one travel map, but one travel circle. The image should present one perfect circle, to indicate the general direction to travelers who search for shops or museums.
Delft is famous for the portrait “Girl with a Pearl Earring” by Jan Vermeer. We took the metaphor of pearl and chose pearl Necklace to be the circle. Every pearl represented one shop or museum. The images of shop or museum were showed from the pearl, never covering the luster of pearl. The direction was indicated by size and spacing of pearls. While in this concept, images of icons were difficult to handle and time consuming.
Pie Chart
The most important reason for this concept was that the outline of pie chart was born perfect circle. This pie chart was supposed to be divided into several parts, and each part represented one museum or shop. We planned to use occlusion of to indicate direction. Besides, we planned to draw the name of scenic spots outside the circle. And the shape of name could also indicate the direction.
Cartoon river circle
We noticed there were rivers in delft centre, and thus we used the image of river to be the circle in this concept. And we wanted to use cartoon style for the whole image. Each icon of shops and museums should be drew by ourselves and present a feeling of childish. Finally, we decided to develop this concept into our final design. Two group members planned to draw icons and river circle while one group member prepared for user test and movie.
