For my project, I want to create a topography map of Monterey, California. I am hoping to incorporate both wood and acrylic panels, each with slightly different cuts. The top layer will be the frame, followed by an engraved land map. The three acrylic panels will complete the illusion of water depth. Below are my ideas so far:
This typography map inspires me because of its use of empty space. For my project, I want to incorporate layers of different colored acrylic panels to create depth. I also like the directly stacked layers that are cut slightly differently but still hold the same relative curvature.
What is your plan for binding the layers together?
What were your thoughts about the thickness of each layer like the same thickness or different?
What made you decide to do a map of monterey specifically?
Will the acrylic interlock with the wood at all?
What’s your plan for creating the wooden frame?
