I found it important to keep the map simple. I wanted to focus on the contrast of land. I did not want to include any names of streets or towns because I wanted to show the importance of the Island as a single landmass. This is because Hawaiians call their land, “’aina” and have a saying that is “Malama ‘aina.” This saying means that one must care for the land, so that it can give back food for the people of the land. Land is very important to the Natives. At first I drew an outline of the Island, and then I added a body of water to surround it. For me, the ocean was an important addition because it shows how secluded the Island truly is. Some people find that to be a type of paradise, while others feel trapped. Included in this map is the main roads that take people around the Island to the different districts. People can walk, drive, or bike, it just depends on the location they want to see. The distance between the green untouched areas is large, so if people want to see Hawai’i at its truest form, then they would want to drive. I did a mixture of spray paint, and regular paint because I wanted …show more content…
This changes the perception of the maps meaning. In the first week of lecture, the professor and the reading brought up an important question. She brought up, “what are you really seeing and what pieces are missing?” This creates a gap between perception and knowledge. Sight is more important than any words, and that is why this map is important. People can bring up a problem, but once they see the problem it becomes more tangible. An important reading is the “NoDAPL Map blog.” This shows how people use maps to manipulate situations. This blog supports my idea that map-makers choose what to show their selected audience, which shows the importance of what to include and exclude. If I showed too much roads or in-depth details, then it would distract the viewer from seeing the change of
A lot of roads are different than roads in the main land. Human characteristics includes natives beating up or harming “foreigners” (haole). Most humans are Hawaiian or Japanese. The natural environment is the mountain peak pu’u kukui. And the beach all other land is houses and resorts. The difference between Wailuku and other towns in hawaii is the reason it was built, the history, the wars and battles, and the central of government. At this day and age it is a mix of many different cultures. In the ancient times there was only polynesian culture. At this time it is around half native hawaiians and half a mixtures of different
If dividing the map into the right part and left part, it can be seen that in the top right part of the map, most of the areas are in the color of red, orange, yellow, green, and light blue. There are sealed roads in the white areas. Most of the lower right areas are in white while some of the small areas are in dark blue and some of them are in light blue, green and yellow. The sealed roads are in both dark blue and white areas. Most of the left areas are in dark blue, light blue and green except for the top left corner are in white. Both of the dark blue and white areas have sealed roads.
4. List three examples of things a map can show. Answer: A map can show you a legend or a key to explain to you what the different symbols mean like (roads, highways, railroads building and more things that are man-made) The second example is that the map can show you a compass rose and that will indicate directions, it will show the North, South, West, and East. Third example is Line symbols and that can show like boundary lines, roads, streets, or routes of trade and transportation.
Seuss went about displaying this map. Instead of going with a simple infographic covering Malaria’s stats, they instead choose to make it more picture oriented. I feel this approach, was the best way to go about it. Based on the simple notion being that, pictures speak louder than words. With this map being primarily picture based, you can put this map anywhere and the message of the map is understandable. “ Don’t mess with Malaria” It’s a map whose message reaches both adults and kids. This map is what break the language barrier, among other nations. Now was this Dr. Seuss and the Army intention, that’s where the debate comes
Hawaii The Big Island Revealed is great reading to learn about sites and their history. However, it is not a travel guide: it does not do a good job of spatially orienting you on the island or of logically combining
At first sight, this map requires some effort in order to be able to read such handwriting that is displayed, but it is clear that the map portrays the location of the New England colonies and the land structure. Although this map is not very clear, some of the northern colonies are labeled such
Even though I was worried when we arrived here, I could still recognise that this island was beautiful. There were crystal waters and tropical palms. Sand that crunched beneath your feet and coral that decorated the ocean floor. Looks can be very deceiving though, Auntie. It didn’t stay beautiful for long and ever since we landed, I was praying that we would be rescued.
Show students three different maps of California (See Appendix 1, 2, and 3). Ask students what they see, what do the maps show and what details do they notice? Students should point out the obvious such as cities, highways, the Pacific Ocean, compass, other states surrounding California, different colors on different maps. Tell students that map number two shows the valley in the centered colored green, and the surrounding mountains are colored brown, as I tell them this I will point to the sections I am talking about. With map number three, tell students that that particular map is a map of the USA, but I am showing them so they can see where California
When I read this part I felt like everything started clicking for me. I began to understand why we were introduced to “tool maps” and the importance they have when teaching geography. In all of my years in school not once do I recall using a terrain model. Having had to sit through countless lessons accompanied by workbook questions, I am able to say that with the terrain model it was easier to understand and learn landforms than with pictures from a workbook or textbook. I believe that there is a difference when you learn landforms by looking at illustrations and learning their definitions than when you can interact and see it displayed in real life.
Typography: Generally speaking, this map has acceptable typography. The words are properly centered and reflect the topic at hand. One issue with the text is the sheer amount of it, especially in the legend. While descriptions of the bedrock types are useful, it would be visually neater if they were shortened. It would also be helpful if some text was made larger such as the text in the legend and scale. A possible solution to this is to separate it into chunks by making a border around all similar information. This makes it less cluttered looking
An inadequate use tension and visuals has contributed to an inaccurate atmosphere and setting found within the island. Despite the otherwise beautiful scenic image you created, there was multiple aspects that you
Maps have been around for centuries. We begin with the simple paper map and then move to an electronic map. Google Maps have been recreating and improving some time now. Now the maps have the ability to show areas of high attraction or interest. With these high quality techniques there must be no flaws included in the process, right? Wrong. All maps have some form of fault or distortion. The advanced google maps that have become a part of our everyday lives through technology has their flaws. In a sense the maps lie. Author Henry Barber of the article “All Maps Are Biased. Google Maps’ New Redesign Doesn’t Hide It”, tells us of how the google map covers up places. The map is biased to its sponsors. Barber says, “Google maps is flawed because
The water was so clear you could see the bottom almost as though there was no water at all. The occasional fish that swam by looking like it was floating in midair. The real treasure about this hidden, wonderful, place was the trees. They were tall and of many variety, from pine to willow all in the same area. I'm assuming this place was created naturally, but I like to imagine maybe someone a long time ago found this place and planted the very willow tree I lean on today.
In the beginning of November 2016, my junior year, our college geography class received our quarter project: a map of the world. Our teacher assigned our class a large number of physical features that our maps needed to include such as rivers, lakes, islands, mountain ranges, seas, oceans, etc. The teacher required us to include all seven continents and a key that showed distinctions in the different physical features of the world. Our maps needed to be to scale and show the least amount of distortion as possible. When we received our project, our geography teacher warned us, “This project will be time-consuming. You will not want to wait until the week before to start your maps.”
https://www.google.co.nz/maps/@-43.5084463,172.5754581,18z I used this website link shown here where I use snip tool to snip the same place and zoom out more and snip again to see what the difference is. This image on the right shows the map of Burnside High School and the places around it and I snipped it in maps version rather than satellite version because it is much easier to see the names and its organized. This image has lots of detailed information on each place and each road has names.
