The next job on the agenda was to start the creation on the supporting media for the Flower board design. Like I mentioned in the post about the World design, I would like the A4 leaflet and the mobile webpage to tie in directly with the design, making it very easy for people to connectContinue reading “Supporting Media for Chosen Board”

From my initial drawings, I have now re-created all 3 designs in a digital format and I think I prefer the Flower over the World and the Rectangle. This is because the shape is different to every other board that I have seen. The centre of the flower also really lends itself well to whereContinue reading “Final Design and Decision”

What I like about this design is that each “landmass” is a different piece of information that the user would need. Due to the amount of content that I would need for each section, I was unable to use the real landmasses of Earth but I do think that it is distinguishable for a globe.Continue reading “More Concepts”

Next, I decided to recreate the rounded-rectangle board and get some feedback fromContinue reading “Initial Digital Concepts”

I mainly wanted to make them stand out and, I believe to do that, I need to use a different shape other than the standard square/rectangle. Out of the concepts that I have designed, I prefer the Flower PetalContinue reading “Early Concepts”

Below are a series of images that I found online to help influence the designs that I would like to create. Some of the pictures above give examples of different shapes for the Information Boards. The info board in the top left has a bench attached which is an interesting idea but not practical withContinue reading “Moodboards and Colour Schemes”

Infographics Infographics about nature and the surrounding areas tend to be more illustrative based. This allows them to stand out among other greens and browns from nature whilst not being a completely different colour.  Wayfinding The majority of the wayfinding signs in nature are uninteresting in their shape but interesting in their content. With myContinue reading “Nature Infographics and Wayfinding Research”
