Visual Mapping: What do I know?

What do I know?

Image maps designed to visualise what I understood about the design industry prior to research about a more specific focus question. 

Starting with a linear trail of the design process, a categorically divided map of design practices and a thematic web of some key design issues, the map present a general view of design as I came to understand it after two years of study. These ideas are articulated by three types of strokes for the three approximate areas of each field, with the solid line for the most established or concrete, thick-thin double stroke for aspects still very much expanding, and the thin triple stroke for the most emergent of the three. 

The final map draws on the fruition of the three initial maps to produce a visualisation that expresses my preconceived idea on a focus question, which I would then research for a report. All maps are grey on grey as they are only rough representations of what I perceived during the few weeks of doing the project, and my perception of design is constantly subject to change and can never be a exactly expressed through a specific colour.
