For the graded assignment 2, pick your hometown or a city you are familiar with, and create a schematic map. You can find the [slides from our class here].

The audience can be tourists (general, or specific type of attractions like pilgrimage, lakes etc.), or a specific use case (such as cycling, educational institutes etc.).

You can follow the following steps for your schematic map:

  1. Scale, Audience & Purpose
  2. Mental model sketch
  3. Tracing relevant aspects from OSM
  4. Abstraction: Grids & geometric shapes
  5. Simplification Vs Minimal
  6. Elements of the city
  7. Visual hierarchy
  8. Details: Icons, Typography, Legend, Context

You can see some of the previous schematic map exercises for reference.
