For the map of kirkgate market inspiration was taken from both of the Leeds.gov websites, with the new update added for the street food section. The map is quite simple, with not having a key or grid added to keep the simplicity, of which will add some interactivity to the publication but in an understated and less obvious way. The idea of the map, was in order to make the 'posters' make more sense to the reader of the purpose of them and what the illustration is of. With the map I experimented, with using tracing paper and foiling, in order to adhere to the aesthetic, to test to see wether it would work well with wrapping the publication in the map. Foiling the map onto the tracing paper created an aesthetically pleasing outcome, with having the contents of the publication being seen still, with the shimmering effect of the foil. The problems occurred when doing this experimentation was the delicate nature of the tracing paper, creating rips when cutting and in general, meaning it doesn't quite create a professional & polished finish. Another problem to face if I was going to take this experiment further into the final publication is how to wrap the tracing paper in a professional way, as by not attaching it, like shown in the experiment is too flimsy, however by using something like tape it also wouldn't look very professional in the finish.
