**Coffee: the medium of (my) life!**

I got stuff from my coffee passport and random other manuals/ guideline books/handouts. //Roasting information//: [|wikipedia] and [|Starbucks] information //Fair trade//: http://www.globalexchange.org/campaigns/fairtrade/coffee/ I chose to do the project all hand done because it just suits me more. Really I got the idea from the posters in Starbucks - the ones handing in the windows/bathrooms, where they have illustrations with text describing coffee in different ways. In their own way they are like a concept map. I organized the map in five main sections: Coffee Tree, Preparation, Tasting, Medical Side Effects, and Commercialization. I didn't want to focus on the commercialization of coffee at all really cause everyone already knows that it is... so rather then explaining more aout what people already know about i wanted to explore the tree and the way you can brew it. I was also interested in the medical side effects, and I think it's funny because I fall under all of them. I've learned a bunch of random things, like the chemical code for caffeine is: C8 H10 N4 O2, and that it's purest form is white powder. In order to die from coffee you have to be a mad drinker and down like 80+ cups in an hour or something like that. So really it's not possible unless you've a weak heart and have 20 shots of espresso. Anyways... I dunno what else to say about this... so yeah, hope you like! XD
 * Process:** one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine
 * Sources**: most are written on the scanned pages but I'll list them here too.
 * Final**: fin, this is just a photo of it because I handed in the original hand drawn/coloured one.
 * Rationale**:

EDIT: so I'm still doing coffee, but I havea concept map that's huge and covers alot of different topics that are all somewhat interlinked... I think i'm going to hand draw the map, adding illustrations of coffee beans and coffee stains as texture...

I think I'll go with Coffee as my concept map idea... and arrange it in a way of how the consumer uses the coffee. Or have it all come out of the coffee tree... haha, we shall see. I'll explain more once I figure it out..

Last week I thought I'd go with the fabric idea, so here was some sites I thought I'd use... http://www.fabric.com/ - is a site that has almost very fabric posible along with prices... the price shows its popularity and rarity. [|http://www.fabriclink.com/university/history.cfm] - is a history of fabrics... historical dates and facts along with what the fibrics were used for and where. [|http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blfabric.htm] - more information on the creation of different fabrics http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bl_making_textiles.htm - the making of fabrics... by hand and machine

Five general concepts: Fabric, coffee, paint, identity, history of type...
