Thread: Looking for some ideas...

Don't know if this helps, but I just read a book called "The Selected Works of TS Spivet" by Reif Larsson. The story - a genius mapmaker from Montana who makes maps of everything (places, of course, but also maps of beetles, maps of relationships etc.; even the place maps usually include interesting variations). If you can find a copy and just browse through it, you might get some ideas.

Thanks a lot I'll check it out!

Tell us five subjects you're interested in, five your Prof is interested in :-), and five things your home or college city is known for. Even (especially!) if they don't seem very mappy. From that sort of seeds, I bet we can suggest some spatially distributed possibilities.

Are you limited to fact, or could you delve into fiction/ fantasy/ imagination? With the former you'll be stuck doing some research (which, given time, you could foist off on a student in some other discipline who needed an interesting project in other ways).

You can study in many book related to your requirement as TheHoarseWhisperer said you can do that it is a really good book. Hope it will work for you.

I am not confined to anything really. I can map anything, literally. Fictional, factual, medical, whatever. The problem is that I have been getting consistently high grades so I don't want to do something boring or cliche. The only rules are it has to be one of the 3 map types I mentioned and it has to come from some an outside source.
