World and Theme Design

A) Detailed Map

B) My handMade World

When doing brainstorming i came up with a few ideas about the look and feel. I wanted this to look self-made and feel personal to whoever came to the website. The hard thing is, is that this is open to everyone so giving this a feel of being personal is going to be difficult.

My first thought was when a child brings home a piece of work from school and it has been made from bits of felt and cotton balls. This gave me the idea to make the website look like its been made with materials so it doesn’t look perfect and will give off the feel of been handmade.

I also wanted this to look nice and welcoming and using these materials will give that feel.

I think that by having just a realistic world map could just be boring and even to some people look technical. To prove this i will design to type of world map to ask a number of people their opinion without telling them i made it or my opinion.

  • Q. If these to images was a board game which one would you choose.     
  • A. i would choose B, looks more fun and for some reason doesnt look gloomy like boring maps do.
By telling people i didn’t  create the image i got an honest opinion, i found that most people find maps boring and like map B because it was different and fun. This made me confident about the texture and feel that i wanted to go which is made from materials.
