Analog tracking my daily commute

This week I decided to track my commute after brainstorming with Miki and Alice. I ended up doing the project independently because I was stumped midway on ideas for execution. I thought my day-to-day commute would be repetitive but was surprised to see how eventful my week was!

First Sketch

Prototype 1

Prototype 2

I knew for sure I wanted to explore this type of infographic to show progress and output really interesting illustrations.

I didn’t plan ahead except that I knew my usual locations would be would be Work, School and Home. Everything else would be a wild card. The week ended, and I realize friday was the most uneventful day. The colors I used should represent the day of the week, and the line textures represented if I was coming or going to the location so that other readers would be able to map my footprints easily.

To make it more abstract I made the labels into shapes!

Here’s a video of me thinking while drawing. What isn’t shown is that I was looking at my old sketches and I was validating and recalling how that day went vividly in my head. Also had my sister record me she said I was taking too long (LOL).

I created a legend list in the back to explain the illustration.

Here is the final outcome!
