First of all, I used a soil detector to detect the pH value, moist, etc. of some common soil around me, and collected them with test tubes. The first kind of soil is very common in Edinburgh. It's moist and black. This soil is often used to grow flowers and shorter plants.

The second type of soil is not so common, it is drier and has smaller particles, mainly dark brown. People usually grow taller plants on it, such as Atlantic white cedar.

The third soil is similar to the first soil but is different. I have found this kind of soil on many grasslands. It usually has no particles, is well lit and has rich nutrients.

at the same time. I collected some other information on the ground. Here are the different manhole covers on Edinburgh roads I photographed. I noticed that different textures represent different meanings. They are full of regular and diverse beauty.

After that, I collected some interesting textures, rubbed them down with paper and pencil, and took some photos for recording. These are very interesting elements, and I hope to put them into my future works.

Then, I made some simple visual experiments based on the photos I studied before. Explore the rhythm of the distance and size of the patterns, and further experience the visual language they bring, and then I will sort out more abstract visual language in the city.

Also, I want to know something underground and not just "on the ground", so I logged into the Edinburgh geological society website and learned about the formation process of Edinburgh geology.
I noticed that the strata are stacked like sheets of paper, so I tried some font designs.

I want it to look 3D and feel that it is formed by stacking and extrusion. Of course, this is not the final perfect presentation, I will continue to improve.
