For the map of my journey to class, I first thought of the real-world map layout. From there I would base my work of geographic positioning and locations that accompanied my morning commute. However, during the process of taking pictures I realized something; I don't really pay attention to what is outside the truck windows. Consciously I am aware of 161, 270, 315, and finally Lane Ave exit ramp but as for the details I am oblivious. Therefore I decided to construct my journey map around the two main areas of realization and their scale. It goes Western style left to right, with the left in high opacity to represent that bleary-eyed morning perspective. The breakfast stool, pan, and orange juice containing fridge are my AM focal points. From there I work to the garage, where the pictures and my eyes began to come further into focus, but not yet all the way. As I open the door I am greeted by my ever present dirtbike helmet as backseat passenger and the gauges, ready and waiting for ignition and to come to life.
The journey itself becomes of background importance and it overtaken by the recognition of destination points; the stadium, walk up the Welcome steps, and finally the directional arrow directing the path to ArtEd252. While I am irritated that I lack the imaging skills to create on screen what I see in mind, this picture is as best as I am able to portray my morning commute.
