Hey everyone, its been a little while since my last post but do not despair I'm still alive! Recently I was lucky enough to have the chance to write a small article for the Wayfinding UK blog you can view the post here. The post called upon research I did during my university project and is based... Continue Reading →
Airport Wayfinding – Sign Layouts
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... Continue Reading →
Airport Wayfinding Icons – Updated & Explained
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... Continue Reading →
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 →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 19
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... Continue Reading →

Managed to get my... Continue Reading →

It's all because of this presentation I have to do on the 27th October. At the beginning of the day... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 13
Today was, very much, another type orientated day. A little bit of sketch book work, followed up by some illustrator to smooth off those curves and realise the sketches in digital form. I've noticed a large improvement in my ability to do quick sketches of letter forms (primarily the letter "a") just to get my... Continue Reading →
Academic Year 2010/11 – Day 12
In my presentation I'm going for a quite minimal look, I'd like to put up the basic bullet points and main points, I can then expand upon them through talking. I feel this is the strongest way of getting my project across, as purely written text will be quite dull to read and may not... Continue Reading →
