Brief: Go for a walk and make several Iterations of a map, starting with noting landmarks along the path and finishing with a functional map. Iteration 1: Instead of writing down landmarks I took photos of several prominent Shops/locations on the route I took. Iteration 2: During the session I started to sketch a very rough first draft in my notebook from memory (without looking at the photos). I decided to use a simple abbreviated key for the map early on (e.g. SG for St. Georges Building, PH for Playhouse Bar).
