INITIAL CONCEPTS

Early concepts addressing the visibility problems of existing signage

Week 03 Group Cruise Ship to Cable Car 02

Wire / hollow signage could be good for eye catching and aesthetically pleasing wayfinding. It would be visible enough to stand out from it's surroundings, but the hollow aspects to the signs would help it blend in with the aesthetics of it's surroundings also.

Might look at changing the colours, to reflect the cable cars existing branding as I think the light blue is too intrusive. Also the aesthetic doesn't quite say Cable Car as much as Cruise Ship. Perhaps it might be good wayfinding heading back towards the Cruise Ship/waterfront.

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
