Hi there!
Here is a reflection on an article assigned in class calls "Cocowayfinding:"
The coco building wayfinding
article has given me several useful tips to use towards this project. The
article included many things to pay attention to while designing the graphic
information: orientation, directional information, destination information, as
well as situation and object identification. What stuck out most to me from
this article was..
-Using pictograms and text together is very effective
-Use
colors such as blue, orange, and gray. Reserve red, green, or yellow for public
safety issues.
-Avoid
all uppercase text in directories to increase legibility.
At first, my group thought red would be a nice color to
direct users to 110, but after reading this article, I understand why a
different color might be necessary. So
we decided that instead of going with a bright red, we would go with a red that
was more toned down. Little tips such as this have helped my group be more
successful throughout this project.
