Collections I Keep Word Map

When creating this design I first input all my collections onto the world map. I think took the time to create different categories that each collection fit into. Following with choosing a font that would represent the group appropriately and be appealing to the eye. I wanted to use all different fonts for each group making them unique to that specific group. When it comes to hierarchy there were a few different ways it was used in my word map. For example in general I made the name of the group larger than the collections places within that group. More specifically I chose to bold and enlarge collections that really relate to me for example “inspirational people” “leopard print anything” “clothing” “bags”. When it comes to the order of importance the things that were important to me were either in larger font or bold. For example, “purse necessities” “face masks” “face filters” “hobbies” “jewelry”. When it came to rhythm and balance this was something I was working out throughout the whole project. Since I started with all my collections on my board already then grouped them it took a little more time to position the groups. There is 20 groups as I am 20 years old this was not purposeful but is very convenient. When making this word map I wanted to in a way show how these concepts are displayed in my mind which is why the rhythm is both scattered yet structured. When first taking on this assignment I wasn’t sure how to go about it with only text, after actually tackling the project it was much easier than expected and it is cool to see these collections that surround me in my day to day life on paper and actually in front of me. The type tool was a huge part of this mapping process which allowed me to type out lines of text and place them throughout my word map positioning them how I wanted throughout my word map. When it comes to texture there are various textures seen throughout the word map as each group has a different font. Texture is impacted by the difference in the thickness of the lines used both horizontal and vertical as well as the white smooth background space that separates each group.
