Mapping Your Day
Graphic Design Studio II
2025
This project follows my day for a whole 24 hours. The purpose of this project was to make a map of one entire day from when you get up to when you go to sleep. My strategy during this project was to keep track of everything I did during the days I wanted to make sure when I had to create the icons, I knew what icons I needed to make by what I did during the day. Throughout the projects you can see a bunch of elements that display certain parts of my day like a shoe, car, food, a bone for dogs, and icons that display other things I did during the day. The main theme of my project was to display a common thing I did during both days I recorded and running came to mind. So, I displayed my project on my typical route, shoes, and my watch. The audience for this project was for people to understand my day throughout icon creation. The background is my typical running route, but I made it in illustrator along with the icons. The icons represent events during my day which can all be found on the watch as the legend. For the elements they were made to help display the icons with a background to show more depth and make them clearer to see. The only problem I ran into during this project was the brightness and color pallet of the background, shoe, and watch I would sometimes have the colors of each object blend and make them look like one combined object. The way I was able to overcome this problem was by adjusting the color of the background and have the color of the shoe and watch darker to make them stand out more. The Mapping Your Day Project really brought out my design skills and ability to create icons that represents aspects of my day.
