IM: Thinking a bit more about the map.

Going on the "keeping it simple so as not to detract from the audio" I thought a good idea would to simply have a patchwork of the different districts in Bristol.

Here's a literal patchwork map: http://quilting.craftgossip.com/files/2011/05/scrap-map.jpg (The HTML options appear to have dissapeared from Blogger?!) Anyway, the mix of different patterns for each area I like, it defines the boundaries and has the potential to give the viewer a little clue as to what the area is like, it's aesthetically interesting too, but not complicated.

I'm giving it a go using Artweaver. A free program similar to photoshop which I've used for several years now. I have photoshop too, I just prefer Artweaver for familiarity.

Here's my first attempt at a patchwork style map:
