Task 2 - Information & Wayfinding

CMYK

Pick Me Up

Exhibition graphics, invitation and brochure for an annual exhibition entitled 'Pick Me Up'. The designer has achieved a striking colour scheme through the use of CMYK and printing on card stock. The geometric shapes are referenced throughout and provides a clear and distinguished identity.

Political Cycles

Clear, concise infographics printed on white stock and bound into a small, square format book. The colours compliment each other well and form a neat and professional aesthetic. The information is easy to digest due to the minimal composition and subdued colours.








Spot Colour

Andy Warhol Exhibition

Andy Warhol relied a great deal on repetition in his work, and helped to democratize art by “mass producing” much of his work in his Silver Factory. The designer wanted to replicate this idea of mass production in the graphic title that is situated just outside the exhibition. Visitors can take a part of the exhibition home with them by removing one of the thousands of sheets.

3 spot colours were used. 200 sheets per pad.








Exploradonia

Just 2 spot colours (on white stock) were used to create this minimal, illustrative map in editorial form. The information is clear and concise and areas are indicated through simple icon illustrations. Although not as detailed as conventional maps, the information is easier to digest due to the stripped back aesthetic.

Monochrome

Adidas Laces signage

Rather than using conventional signage, room numbers are printed onto large 3D type (INFOPOINT) displayed in the entrance of the building. Although the costs would be high, it immediately creates interest.

Museu de Ciències Natural

This signage for Museu de Ciències Natural uses minimal icon illustrations to show the whereabouts of various facilities. In some areas, there is no need for text as the icons are clear and easy to distinguish - the directions are simply indicated by an arrow. White on black creates a professional and sleek aesthetic.
