My overlaying theme for my final mapping documents is the concept of wet to dry, more specifically where water meets the edges of land. They main overlaying colour blue is shown as the larger bodies of water that span from the outside of Australia through to the lighter color of white/light blue as the harbours and smaller passages of water. The use of a dark outline allows me to further indicate the idea of waters edge as their bleeding effect allowed me to portray where the water meets the edges of land to show how they coexist together. The extra layers I decided to convey in my map were roads and vegetation, as for my defition on mapping revolves around the constant idea that mapping brings people together through both waterways and getting from point a to point b via roads. For the roads I decided to use a thick line to highlight the importance of roads connecting us to one another and really catch the attention of the viewer as it is of key importance in my opinion. For the vegetation I used a subtle grey dotted pattern as it hides away within the new creations of the world and is an underlaying feature of my map.

Initally when choosing my personal scale I trialled with a scale at 1:2000 and choose the river that is featured at the head of the map above. But, it didn't allow me to feature all of the key land and vegetation that is in surplus surrounding the larger body of water of the Iron cove bay which is what I wanted to focus on mainly at the begining of this assessment. I ensure that I continued theme and styles across both of my scaled drawings as it showed distinct correlation between the two drawings and was easily recognisable from one another. The development of my themes was greatened as I was able to show the wet vegetation through my personal scale and focus on where they met the waters edge at low tide, through the use of the bleeeding ink once again.

The Iron Cove Bay has been apart of my life since I was a little kid walking around it every now and then with my parents. So it was of significant knowledge to me already from a young age. Although, as a adult now I am able to appreciate the undeniable beauty of the bay with all its features through the ignition of mapping key features and focusing more on specific detailing of the bay itself. For the first time ever, I went kayaking on the bay in order to get photos of the mangrooves and water edges while experiencing the calming nature of the bay in all ways. It was an eye opener to something that was so accessible to me that I never really payed attention to. In order to show this through my images I decided to show photos of significance such as mangroves bridges and how the edges of the water highlighted the wet to dry theme throughout my drawings. These photos also highlight why there is more of a bleeding effect to one edge rather than the other where it is constantly covered by water even at low tide. Initially with the filtering of the images I wanted to display the blue effect and keep it constant with my drawings previous. But, I decided to increase the contrast dramatically to increase the colour of the photos to highlight all the colours that were being bounced of one another and showing its true beatuy.

This pyramid style of poem was used intentionally to encase the idea of "More than Meets the Eye" as it reflects the nature of the maslow pyramid. Where at the lowest levels of the pyramid are made up of the most basic needs, while the most complex needs are at the top of the pyramid. I compared this by using the most basic describing words of what the Iron Cove bay looked, smelt and felt like through the use of sensory words, then built up to the top to display the overall beauty of the bay. I did this to highlight the importance of the little words that make up the values of the pyramid as without them the pyramid would not stand and without these senses you would not be able to see the beauty of the Iron Cove bay.
