How can the navigational systems within airports be improved to give the flier a smoother stress free travel experience? Abstract: The purpose of this study is to consider airport signage and develop a navigational system, which could be used at BAA Heathrow with a view to form the basis of an international standard. This includes... Continue Reading →
3D Sign Concepts
Just a quick post to show what I have been doing today. As part of my portfolio I have been working on some 3D sign concepts, some vector based 3D created in Corel Draw, and the others were fully rendered 3D images from Cinema 4D. I'm quite excited for handing this module in and starting on the... Continue Reading →
Experimenting with 3D Promotion
Hey all, Just thought I would place up an example of one of my portfolio pieces i have just finished as an example of how I would like to promote my system. This would come after a page which shows them all as 2D items Tom Out!
Project Update
So it's been a long time since I posted, probably because once I get working the blog just isn't on my mind. However, it now is, so this post is just going to update you on what I have been up to. Below is the full completed set of icons. These are what I based... Continue Reading →
International Standardisation of Airport Navigational Systems – ISANS
This is the name (and abbreviation) I have decided to use for my final major project. The abbreviation "ISANS" occurred through a nice accident of just brainstorming different names I could give my system. So where am I at within my project? Well I have managed to finish off the majority of my symbols, leaving out only... Continue Reading →
Transport Icons – Second Generation
Hey guys, just a small update as to what I've been up to. I'm still heavily working on my icon design, today I decided to focus on the transport ones, instead of dotting around all over the place. I have managed to get to this stage, they have a lot more detail than your regular... Continue Reading →
Unity – Experimental Poster Typeface
I designed this typeface for a university project 2 years ago. It never really got used and got left at the far reaches of my hard drive. I have since revisited it and improved upon it. I also decided that I would try my hand at presenting it in a certain style as a way... Continue Reading →
Critical Reflection Session 2
Today I had my second critical reflection, this time with a different set of design colleagues. I decided that instead of showing any A3 sheets with already developed icons on them, I would show my sketch book and the full development phase that I went through. There was a mixture of positive and negative comments... Continue Reading →
Airport Icons, Development Phase.
For my Final Major Project in BA Hons graphic design I decided to take on the challenge of developing a new wayfinding system for international airports, and possibly more specifically London's Heathrow. This will include signage layout design, Icon development, Typeface development / exploration and a small promotional campaign. I thought I would share some... Continue Reading →
Self Initiated Critical Reflection.
Myself and three other design students/friends decided that we would jump straight into our own critical theory session. We gave ourselves two weeks to prepare something that we could show to each other and then feedback on, we also saw this as a good opportunity to film and possibly place into our podcasts. So armed... Continue Reading →
