I remembered how one of my professors mentioned that she is using a calendar to have her students log a daily drawing. Hmmm inspiration seeded?  

I couldn't help but notice how the the counties are neatly sectioned off on the maps, much like a calendar. I liked the idea of a daily drawing journal and wondered how a daily entry would look on the map. What colors would I use, what media, how would I incorporate the map lines? 

This map has distinct uniform sections but what could be done with a Pittsburgh map where nothing is uniform? Would the lack of structure allow  more creativity? Would I use a series of bubbles, or trace some roads to create a structure to implement the daily drawings?  

I've started with the initial well structured map and will see where it takes me.  Who knows, maybe it will lead me to Pittsburgh?
