The first striking difference between my map and an accurate one is the scale and spacing, especially between streets. I found that I drew relatively accurate depictions of areas I know well, and either exaggerated or reduced the distance between…

I think that, just from looking at this sketch, it would be pretty obvious to any Harvard student where I live, at least to an extent. I began my sketch starting with my house, Dunster, in the bottom right corner, and planned to work northwest-ward…

I began my first sketch with outlining as well as detailing the buildings on the side of the river with the Athletic Facilities. After finishing the Athletic buildings I realized I had taken up over half of the page and still needed to include all of…

Sketch 1 Kevin Servellon I definitely cut some space between the Quad and Yard, and then I made the area below the the yard too big. It is obvious that I don’t pay attention when I am on the shuttle because I missed a significant portion between the…

Although I’m biased, after comparing my map to a Google Maps image of the area, I would say my illustration was decently accurate. I have accounted relatively well for the positions of Harvard Yard relative to the law school, as well as the…
