I started by thinking about different locations spider webs mights be found on campus that would be easily accessible for any person. I decided to explore morrill to find spider webs as it is a easy building to access, yet has enough low foot traffic area for spider webs to be easily found. I walked up towards the garden/court yard from North Pleasant to get into Morrill.I entered Morrill 4 North through the door directly under the walkway that connects the two sides of Morrill. As I walked in I immediately looked to my right to see the map of Morrill, noting my location for future reference. I walked down the hallway going past the two double doors at the end of the hallway. I walked down the first set of stairs to the first landing that has two doors on its left and right that allow a person to leave Morrill. I inspected the stairs I had just walked down and I noticed that on the lowest stair there was a spider web on the left side of the stairs when facing up the stairs. I used a ten dollar bill as an object for scale, placing it on the floor of the landing next to the spider web with its width very close to the wall. The bill was angled so that Hamilton’s face was able to be seen, yet the bill appeared upside down in pictures due to it’s placement. I took several photos to ensure that I would have one that satisfied me, electing to use a picture that I used flashed in. After taking these pictures I walked up the stairs and took a picture of the stairwell  from the top landing closest to the door which I had entered initially. The picture included the stairs and the door closest to the stairs. After gathering the pictures I went to Livemaps and selected the location I was at on open street maps and took a screenshot of the map with the pinpointed location. After this I gathered the pictures and the screenshot into Inkscape. I organized the pictures into a square figures with the right half dedicated to the picture of the web, and the left side organized with the picture of the stairwell on top of the Livemaps screenshot.

The top left picture of the stairwell had the values of X= 0.394, Y= 219.951, W= 340.454, and H= 250, this picture also included an arrow pointing at the location of the spider web. The conditions of the line are X=245.877, Y=265.821, W=45.519, and H=46.193. This picture also contains the letter A in a white box, with black borders, at the top left and with the coordinates X=0, Y=428.781, W=42.0, and H=41.563. The bottom left screenshot of the map had the values of X=0.394, Y=0.0, W=340.454, and H=219.951. The picture includes a letter B in a white box, with black borders, at the top left and with the coordinates X=0.0, Y=178.781, W=42.9, and H=41.563 .The right picture of the spider web had the values of X=340.847, Y=0.0, W=375.300, and H=469.951. This picture too has a letter, the letter C, in a white box with black borders with the coordinates X=340.454, Y=428.781, W=42.0, and H=41.563.
