My interests lie in drawing maps which illustrate the feature of a certain area and which also act as functional wayfinding system which the general public can use. Im also interested in promoting cycling as a trendy activity in a local area to an audience who arent just doing it for the fitness side it.W

~ Initial idea
The first idea I had for this website was for it to be a website which catalogues the different types of map designs and illustrations into categories such illustrations, functional, etc. However, through discussing and presenting my idea I found that this idea has a flaw which is that there is no difference between this and my maps board on Pinterest.

I I then thought, instead of showcasing map designs in my website I would rather design and illustrate my own maps using the design I have been researching in my summer brief as inspiration. This map had to have a purpose and a function so I though of three purposes for the map.

My idea for this brief is to combine functionality and aesthetically pleasing illustrations together. The aim of this website is also to make cycling trips appeal to a younger trendier audience.

~ Target Audience
My target Audience for this website are men & women who go on cycling days out for leisure & tourism, not purely fitness reasons, at the age of 25 - 40, possibly with a family.

~ App Proposal
I decided to propose an app to join with the Leeds Cycle map website. The app works in a similar way to my website, however its meant to be used on smart phones & tablets. This means that people can use whilst on the move (whilst cycling). The App uses technology from google maps to calculate the cycle freindly routes, which are shown on my website, in real time.
~ Social Networking
The app includes social networking links to make it easier for viewer to interact with the online community by allowing them to tweet, facebook and instagram about their cycle trip.
