A map of the world 449 Million years ago when the rocks in Central Park were forming Note that New York is ~20 0 S of the equator at that time. It was a shallow seafloor then accumulating sediments. How the rocks in Central Park formed and metamorphosed during the Paleozoic Era About 400 million year ago, this region was shallow sea floor, off the coast of the American Continent, and was the site of deposition of great thicknesses of sediment derived from the erosion of the nearby land (Fig. 1).

    Name: Eureka Du Address: 1200 State Street, Utica 13502 NY Email: [email protected] Typography and Information Design PrattMWP College of Art and Design Class #1 Professor: Christina Sharp Content 1.creative brief 4.ideation 2.research 5.development 3.inspiration 6.conclusions Creative Brief In this map project we are selecting a New York State Park, and redesign an engaging and exciting map for the park in Adobe Illustrator for potential visitors through compositions, symbols, icon systems, labels, illustrations, and colors. The redesigned map should be practical and able to be used in the real world. My choice on the New York State Park is the Central Park in Manhatten New York. I Chose Central Park because of my own experience. As a first time visitor in New York last year, I visited Central Park with my cousin who has been living in NewYork for seven years. While I was doing my research, I did not find any map for first-time visitors from the central park official website. If I were on my own while I first visited Central Park, I would not be able to know where to begin my visit. I am sure that the other first-time visitors would have the same problem. These are the reasons that my map is designed for first-time visitors who have a limited amount of time. In my map, I featured several top attractions in and around the park. I also included some top-rated restaurants around and inside the park since Knowing where to consume good food is essential during visiting.

  • Ali Cho: the Park and the Horses
    1 David Buffum, The Horse: His breeding, care, and use (New York: Outing Publishing Company, 1911), 11. Contents INTRODUCTION 1 {1} THE 70 YEARS OF THE HORSE (1850s-1920s): FROM BREEDING THE BEAUTIFUL TO BREEDING THE MACHINE 6 {2} THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE STABLE PARK 17 {3} THE JUXTAPOSITION OF LEISURE AND HIDDEN LABOR 30 {4} EXIT THE HORSE, ENTER THE AUTOMOBILE 47 CONCLUSION 55 BIBLIOGRAPHY 57 1 Introduction The cart-horse requires courage, but not the sort of courage which blood bestows; he requires pluck to move and draw a heavy load, and to pull again and again if required until he stirs the inert mass; but the courage of the blood-horse would in him be quite out of place. The beauty of the cart-horse depends not only on the quality and symmetry, but on a sort of elephantine ponderosity that bespeaks power in every muscle and every limb.2 Unlike the racehorse who was prized for his speed or the carriage horse for his sleek elegance, the cart-horse was regarded as a beast of labor. While encountering a horse today requires committed effort, the horse was a ubiquitous force in the nineteenth to early-twentieth Gilded Age cityscape. A bird eye’s view of the nation would show horses everywhere, transporting goods in and out of the city, hauling streetcars and private carriages, alongside canals, delivering packages from Macy’s, mowing lawns, and powering street sweepers and garbage wagons.3 Without a doubt, horses provided a diversity of services and uses pivotal to the upkeep of city life.
