Assignment: Cartography is the practice and study of making maps. Unifying science, aesthetics and technique, cartography communicates spatial information. In light of this practice we will be using our analog drawing from the prior assignment as the foundation to map out an invented comprehension of light in Photoshop. We will also use photography to better comprehend, explore and manipulate value, light logic and surface textures digitally. Although we are not…
