Snow Day?

I've been getting emails all morning from people who are snowed in, so I wanted to update everyone who was unable to make it in this morning--

For Wednesday, please come to class prepared with a proposed timeline of your mapping project, outlining the following:

*What are the physical elements of your project (including the directions for your walk, the physical map of the space, objects collected from your walks--artifacts, photographs, stories, audio clips, a playlist--and the structure that holds everything together)

*What materials do you need to complete your project, and what, if any, is your budget?

*What is your timeline for completion on all of the different aspects of the project?

Along with this timeline, please bring any sketches, notes, process books, photogrpahs, or ephemera you've collected to date. If your photographs are digital, you may either email them to me or have them available via the web and we can project them during class. Weather permitting, I'll see everyone Wednesday.

Oh, and here are some helpful links for mapmaking

This one is for Seattle's Department of Planning and Development
their DPD GIS (beta) version is awesome and easy to use

and

Google Maps takes a little more effort to program, but you can save them to a file, link them to gmail accounts, etc.
