I’m Mina Sefton, a Foundation student learning information design one week at a time. Every Monday I log what I tried, what I learned and what I would change.
less arrows, more landmarks →
Latest entry
Riders don’t read maps from the start of the line. They look for where they are, then for one landmark near where they’re going.
I tested with classmates who already know Calderbrook. Next time I want three people who have never been here.
Tutor note“Fewer arrows. Trust the line.”
The question for this term
Our term-one brief is wayfinding. Every project on this site is a small attempt at that one question: a bus map, shelf labels, a route drawn from memory.
answer is probably “by walking it first”
Projects so far
A strip map for the stop on Pell Street. Eleven labels instead of twenty-three, one colour, landmarks instead of street names.
Project notes
A type study for the college library. Which size, weight and spacing works from two metres away, tested with a tape measure.
Project notesHow each week works
Walk it, photograph it, count where people hesitate.
Draw three versions fast, on tracing paper, before touching a screen.
Hand it to a classmate, time them, write down what they say out loud.
One log entry: what I learned, what I would change.
Back next Monday
