Designed maps and diagrams to effectively communicate the spatial relationships between different regions, landmarks, and points-of-interest with other designers.
Grayboxed/wireframed the map according to appropriate player and enemy metrics.
Developed a story through the use of environmental storytelling and architecture to create immersion and a sense of progress in gameplay.

For this project, it was important to me to make my LDD not only simple to read, but also engaging. If I had been working with other people on this project, making my document an enjoyable read would've encouraged close reading of it.
It was critical during the design process to create detailed, readable maps. I created several versions of each area of the level over its development, updating it as I made changes. Creating maps like these was critical to my design process, as it forced me to be utilitarian and purposeful in my design.
