For my fertilizer map, I decided to put organize the images in a chart format so that the audience could see in a linear form what specific product would be used under certain circumstances. The viewer would be someone in need of lawn care, and did not necessarily understand English therefore no words were used. I used pictures that I felt represented the words, as well as symbols like “<“ and “>”, as well as crossing out certain boxes to imply that the factor in the box wasn’t present. The biggest problems that I encountered were in trying to pick symbols that I thought were closest to universal. I solved them by Google Image searching the words I was trying to display and using these as a guide to what types of symbols to use. By using pictures like the sun for dry and rain for wet, I think the chart ended up as something that a person from another culture could look at and be able to determine the correct symbols and therefore which product to use.
