Hey everyone, another post which shows some of the updates I’ve made to the airport wayfinding system I am looking into. This week I looked into the typeface weight on the signs and also how they should be laid out in terms of spacing between icons, arrows and text. Below are a few image examples…
Hi Everyone! I have decided that I would like to revisit my degree project right from the start and expand/improve upon everything I had previously done for it. The first thing I decided to do was to take another critical look at the icons I had produced. Since looking at the icons again I’m not sure why…
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…
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…
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!
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…
Today, although focusing mainly on my essay work, I had a couple of ideas that jumped into my mind that I quickly wrote down in my book. I then developed them further when i got home. They were more to do with layout as opposed to anything else. With inspiration being taken from Schiphol airport…
I have successfully handed in and finished my Development of Ideas & Concepts module. This consisted of researching into my chosen project, which you all know by now to be wayfinding within airports, more specifically BAA Heathrow. I was very happy with the way this whole first module turned out, there was a lot more…
Another day of just getting down and dirty with the work! I’ve now completed my rough presentation ready for tomorrow, i’ve also printed off some quick prompt cards, which will make it flow a lot better, and i wont need to look at the screen, unless i’m talking about the examples. Managed to get my…
Wow! I have never had such a bad day in terms of being nervous and panicking. I can’t explain it, not even my driving test was as bad as this and that was the worst up till today. It’s all because of this presentation I have to do on the 27th October. At the beginning of the day…
