Experience
During this task, I experienced feeling overwhelmed because I found it hard to believe that we could create a new, working, reliable map that people could actually use. I was in charge of drawing the map so even though I tried my best to make the outlines and roads as accurate as I could, I feel like tracing it from a zoomed in screenshot of the area from Google Maps would not truly make it 100% accurate.
Observations
While drawing the map, I observed that drawing a scaled map is pretty difficult. We did not need to have all the roads visible as the most important aspect was highlighting the different zones that Al-Balad could be separated into. This meant I had to pick which roads showed up on the map and which did not. At first I decided to only do the wider roads but some of the smaller roads were used to split the zones so I had to add those, but them it created odd shaped in the map if there were only a few small roads. We made it work in the end.
Findings
At the end of this task I found that, a project of this magnitude should ideally take a few months or even years to perfect. In the timeframe we had, we did the most we could which was portray the specific zones and present popular stores and outlets in those zones. With more time we could make more accurate maps of the specific zones, add noticable landmarks, and overall make it more accessible.
