EXISTING WAYFINDING

EXISTING WAYFINDING

Week 03 Group Cruise Ship to Cablecar 02












 Current wayfinding signage to the Cable Car doesn't focus on type, only shape & colour.
The colour is distinctive and reminiscent of the Cable Car's existing branding. However the signage isn't at eye level, nor foot level, but awkwardly inbetween. This makes the signage extremely easy to miss and isn't very specific with directions as the arrow/type can only be displayed on 2 sides.












Once you reach the top of the CableCar, the wayfinding improves with a relief map and colour coded keys to help guide from the CableCar to the Botanical Gardens.

Week 06 Group Cruise Ship to Cablecar 01 ENGRAVING PROTOTYPES Earlier brick engraving concepts, using the existing infrastructure of the Cable Car sign/sculpture and Cable Car branding for the logo.          Below are some further developments of the brick engravings, exploring typefaces that encompass readability that are of a blocky nature to resonate with the Cable Car's design itself.  Typeface: Wear Fat Shirt Typeface: Graze BRK Typeface: Bulletproof Embossing prototypes:     Sandblasting tests using a laser-cut stencil on irregular shaped brick: The results were disappointing, as the brick we used for the sandblasting, was a composite of clay and concrete. This did mean the areas of relief from the sandblasting were a different colour to the rest of the brick, however the consistency of this type of bric...

BRICK PIXELS

Week 07 Group Cruise Ship to Cablecar 01 'BRICK PIXEL' MOSAIC CONCEPTS Here are some pixelated brick mosaic designs, intended to lead the target audience into Cable Car Lane. Using the existing brick pattern of the lane, the design simply utilises this and would only require the replacement of select bricks. Below is the presentation slide for the development of the 'brick pixel' concept
