Concepts 1


This assignment was to make a map. I chose to illustrate the best aspect of my living room, my pets. There are seven terrariums that in total house 11 reptiles. I combined them into their own fantasy world, using the animals themselves as icons to label the different areas. Their number correlates to the description which includes their name, species, location and diet.
