Studio Practice: Wayfinding Mock ups

Wayfinding Mock Ups

The images below are examples of how I envisioned the character counters to look when placed at the front of the buildings on my wayfinding system. I experimented with the use of black and white images as well as colour as they highlight the placement of the counter more clearly. Each image is of one place on my wayfinding system and the counters are representative of the architects who designed the building which can be identified when using the key that I designed to be used with the game as seen below. The different colours are representative of the different architects. For example, the yellow counter at the corn exchange is representative of the architect Cuthbert Brodrick who was the creator of that building. This worked out well because I ended up with the exact correct amount of designers to go alongside the amount of coloured counters that are used for the characters in the original game. This does mean that some of the architects are used more than once, however I feel that this just adds an aspect of interest to see that certain architects have designed more than one famous building across the city of Leeds.

I think that they successfully work in the way that I had wanted them too however some stand out more than others. I think that this is an issue because some may look a little out of place whereas others look a little bit insignificant. To improve on this I would take more care in deciding the exact spot outside of the buildings that the character should be placed so that it is noticeable but equally blends into its surroundings.
