 * Rational:**

What first started out as a fairly un-ambitious project slowly turned into a massive, overwhelming task. But from this came a project that I am quite proud of and was definitely worth the effort and time. I first chose music as my medium because it is something I love and had a decent knowledge of. I started and completed this project with a determination not to end up with some boxes and some text. I wanted this piece to be eye-catching and interesting, and visually pleasing. Taking an illustrative point of view, I first drew my map many times debating whether to use the computer at all. After completing my final illustration, I decided that coloring it on the computer and placing text in Photoshop would be very effective because the text would be easier to read and it would seem more like a graphic design than an illustration. My decision to include the girl with headphones was another illustrative choice because with each project, I love to add my own style and personal touch. Also, she makes the piece more visually driven instead of boring boxes of pretty text. The concept map itself is drawn to add a technological feel to the piece, since how the listener enjoys the music goes hand in hand with technology – CD players, tape decks, ipods. The typeface used also reflects this, mimicking the analog style used on CD players and radios. Overall, I am pleased with my piece and enjoyed this project immensely, coming a long way from a boring, uninteresting map to a final, complete graphic work.
