The place in my memory

1. Collect

I posted the following on a job posting community and ten people applied.“ I'm looking for someone who can draw a map of the [Lotte World] amusement park based on memory only. I’ll pay 15$.” People took pictures of the maps they drew and posted them on a messenger platform where I communicated with them. Some posted just a single page, while others posted a map that was drawn over two pages.

Brief information about Lotte World Amusement Park:

Lotte World is an amusement park located in Seoul, Jamsil. It has both outdoor and indoor facilities and they are next to one another. A large lake surrounds the amusement park and its landmark, Lotte World Castle stands tall within its outdoor premise.

2. Design

The collected maps went through digital visualization to create a graphic map.

2-1. Pick colors with Adobe Color

I downloaded photos of attractions drawn on the map from the official Lotte World website and extracted the color palettes of the photos through Adobe Color.

2-2. Create graphics of Attractions & Amenities with color palette

I created graphics for each attraction by combining five colors selected during the previous stage.

How does a place get organized in human memory? I collected ten people through a job posting and asked them to draw a map of an amusement park from memory. They all drew differently: the location, type, and number of facilities were all different. The information derived this way was visualized to create a graphic map.

I drew the land according to the map and placed the graphics I had created accordingly.
