Way Finding

I took and interest into way finding by colour here are a few things i found.

The signs inside the hospital have a little colour block next to the name of the place, a lot like what i wanted for the entrance of our new build.

The one all in yellow was a bit over the top for me but a good thing was that it made it clear that you are on the right floor/department.

Finally and plan on Boston Road is all blocked out making it easier to read and direct yourself around.

Their builds look extremely modern and futuristic, with bold straight lines and a lot of windows and glass. They also have a very unique style which is recognizable and stands out amongst other buildings.

From their plans for the future and current plans, i get the feel that they almost try to mimic the sky with there use of glass, giving the build a fresh feel.

Inspiration

I chose this one because of the use of colour, its bright and stands out, meaning people will not miss it. It is far from what i plan to do, but i feel these signs are every suitable for the space they are in.

Ruff Ideas

I feel what the inside of the building needs is a simple and graceful way of getting round the building, this is why i have chosen to make a simple pattern that will flow and guide people round the school, by mostly colour and not words, at the entrance there will be a sign with a colour guide to the build and then from there on in the simple natural pattern will, show people round the school.

I feel this is a strong idea because as it is the design block picture would suit it much more than writing. Also its a chance to experiment with, colours bringing light and energy into the build.

Another idea i had was to have the pattern extend onto the floor, but with this i feel it may cause problems when up and running because people will be looking at the floor, more than where they are going, so could cause accidents.
