Hand Drawn Maps

What to expect:

Put down your computers. Put away those bytes and cell phones. Time to make maps the old fashioned way. Once again we are going to pull back on the technical work for our December meetup by drawing our own maps!

Take a look at Danielle Dai's hand-drawn map inspiration repository to get the creative juices flowing. https://github.com/ddai/hand-drawn-maps

What to bring:

Bring your creativity and sense of adventure, and we'll provide paper, some colored pencils & markers--and maybe even some chocolate! But we can't promise we'll have all the bells and whistles, so please bring your favorite drawing & coloring supplies to ensure we have enough to go around!

At the end of this we will be scanning everyone's drawings to make a book that can be distributed as hard copies or electronically. If you'd like a hard copy, we ask that you bring a few dollars (if you're able to, if you want a copy and you're not able to pay, that's no problem at all) to help us pay for the printing. We will be distributing the printed copies at Maptime events in January and February, so be sure to attend one of those later events to grab your copy!

Lastly, be sure to wear your ugly holiday sweater!

Where to go:

We will be meeting at Galvanize. When you arrive, let the person at the desk know that you're there for Maptime and they'll point you in the right direction.

There is absolutely no reason this can't be your first Maptime! Check out our website (http://maptimesea.github.io/)(and tutorials) if you want to learn more about what we've done in the past.
