BRICK ETCHING DEVELOPMENT

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 brick does not allow for very much detailing (large rock-like composition).

INTERVIEW NOTES AND BRAINSTORMING

Week 04 Group Cruise Ship to Cablecar 01 Results from interview with Michelle, an employee at the Cable Car. The existing sculpture/sign at the entrance to Cable Car Lane is popular, and sometimes complemented on. The sign is easily visible from surrounding areas, however it is too high and can be easily missed when closer to it. Michelle suggested a kiosk at the entrance of the lane, to encourage people to try the Cable Car, and take payments. Michelle also suggested red arrows leading into the lane, she also liked my suggestion of coloured tiles/bricks in a pattern leading to the Cable Car. Below are some designs that work cohesively with the existing brick pattern found from outside Cable Car Lane, leading all the way in. Exploring embossing & debossing for potential brick designs.

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

BRICK ARROW DEVELOPMENT

Image
Week 08 Group Cruise Ship to Cablecar 01 Using the engraved brick prototypes, we started looking at formations that could indicate directional wayfinding I looked at integrating this arrow formation into earlier designs, to combine a pixel type design with the arrow formations for added directional properties Below is an example of the anamorphic type concept combined with the directional brick arrows and how they could work harmoniously.
