Designs & Development  These screenshots below are of my final and development designs. My Initial designs can be found on a separate blog post.  Tudor House Museum Information Board At first I did struggle to come up with a concept for the information board. I decided I needed to start with a background first, rather than to start with a layout. As the room in the Tudor house is about the world war I wanted the colour scheme to represent this. Although the colour scheme matches the theme I knew a background with a limited colour palette would make a good background.   Final Design Tudor House Museum Home Web Page  Here you can see the development of my web pages. I did experiment a lot with the floral background design. However, I decided against this after re-visiting the brief. The web pages need to include the colour scheme I used for the information board and I though the floral design was to feminine....

Prototypes & Chocolate Session:  Your Own Work Please answer these Q’s in as much detail as you can. This should really take  15-20 mins if  you’re doing it properly and you should really have a good paragraph or more of comments after each question. (Shiona Finlinson) A.  What 3x key findings or examples linked to ‘wayfinding or information board design’ from your research undertaken for this project have influenced your final set of designs (and crucially please explain ‘why’ and ‘how’ this is). I believe my 3 main areas of research for this brief are strongly influenced by museums I have visited in London, including the design museum and the V&A. I have also been influenced by images of the war in colour which lead me to create the background for my information board, a theme I hope to carry out throughout my other designs.  B.   Explain why you feel that your final design ideas are both suitable for their location, how...

Previous Student Work Analysis  http://gdes2012tutor.blogspot.com (10/04/19) Live Project No. 1: Wyre Forest District Council: 'The Wyre Forest Cycle Trail'? Set by live client Wyre Forest District Council. The aim was to get students to explore, understand and then best create example wayfinding and associated interpretation/information board concepts for a potential new cycle trail in the Wyre Forest area. Students had a minimum of an interpretation/information board, directional wayfinding signs and mockup web or phone screens to develop as the brief's main requirements. A. Suitability for brief:   The aim of this project was to create a  way finding  system for the  Wire  Forest. At first glance  this solution  answers the brief very  successfully. The map, which is the main element, stands out from the rest of the information board.  B. Colourschemes used   The  color  scheme used is very natu...

Trip To London On the 3rd of April, 2019, we went to London for the day to visit the Design Museum as well as other museums. This visit has helped me a lot as I have been able to gain some vital research for my live brief with the Tudor House Museum. This trip has ultimately lead me to change my designs for my information board which my designs for the A4 information sheet and the web-pages will be based on.   The last 3 pictures are of an interactive digital screen inside the design museum. After seeing this design I am considering changing my information board as I think this is a very effective idea.   The two images above are photos of legible wayfinding signage in London. One of these was taken outside the natural history museum and the other was taken near the V & A Museum.  I believe these signage boards were placed outside tourist hot-spots as they attract a large amoun...
