My aim by the end of this project is to create a perceptual map of accents in the North East of England. However I don’t want to simply pin different accents to a geographical map of the North East. As a design student I want to create an interesting visual which also has all the information needed. Maps are beginning to change, along with the concept of them, now perhaps it is more apt to call them a guide. My aim, though questionable how possible an achievement this will be for me is to create a new system, a new way of looking at things, places, sounds. Why I labelled it a perceptual and not a geographical ‘map’.
Above are some examples of these types of maps created by other people.
1. Barrett Lyon’s map of the Internet 2003, The Opte Project
This map, maps what is beyond the visual and instead presents complex information in a way that is accessible and understandable.
2. Alice In Wonderland as analysed by Bradford Paley’s TextArc System
This is perhaps the most relevant to my project as this is a visual map of words; it uses words and typography to covey the traditional story in a whole new way.
