Wayfinding Project

Wayfinding Definition: Wayfinding encompasses the information-gathering and decision-making processes people use to orient themselves and navigate through space; simply put, how people get from one location to another.

Summary of Project 

For this project my group members and I the situation that needed to be improved which has Budig. Our starting point was the main entrance of Budig and our ending point was room 110, which is the same room as Hallmark Symposium. Some of the problems we encounter were figure out which color to chose for our Wayfinding design. We first used a bright red for our signage and covering the rails and the base of the walls with painters tape. But after getting advice we decided to go simpler and just use the signage we designer and use painters to make a lines to make navigations through the hallways easier. And from the responses we got from the KU students it was more effective and easy to understand. Our group also decided to use a more coral color to complement the beauty of building. And we also created a color-coordinated map to help the students to the main auditoriums in Budig.   Overall, what I learned from this project is sometimes simple it the best way to go with a design.
