Evolution of a Style

After staring at those maps for a few days, I decided I didn't really like them. On our course, we have this problem: we're all encouraged to be creative and arty, but the work we're asked to produce is methodical, predictable and, well, boring. How do you resolve that chasm of a gap? You can see from these images that I've tried to convert my dull, undergrad photoshop work into something with a bit more visual interest, that fits in with the rest of my proposal presentation. Who knows, I may still ditch this playing around or go for something completely different again!
