Kelly Terry In Class Mapping Resources

D.I.Y. New York City

This project focuses on radical spaces, events, and art that is associated with the counter culture in New York City. It does a good job identifying different locations and describing them. Naccarato, the author, stresses the importance of counter culture for the underground class and artistic thinkers. This would be a useful model because it studies multiple areas and locations to gather data and not just one specific place.

Final Project

It took me a little while to discover what the project topic was... but after examining the different locations on the map it looks to me like the research was just done on famous places or touristy locations to go in New York City. When clicking on the different locations, the author provided a lengthy but positive description. This project probably will not be a very useful model for me because the long blocks of text make it difficult to hold the reader's attention. It also was a little confusing at first as to the point of the project.

Come Together NYC

This project lacks an introductory paragraph, as did the last project, but I was able to more easily determine what the topic was by the capitalized themes: art, music, restaurant, public art. The photos used were also effective. It seems very organized and talks very positively about the different locations. This is a good model because the writing is organized and the set up is well done. The locations of study also seem to be logical and useful.

Modern Gomorrah

This project researched different locations for the arts in New York City. The difference with this project is that each location has a different icon and logo, which I thought was effective and helpful. The descriptions of the areas were positive and inviting. I thought that this was an effective project and would serve as a useful model.
