Wayfinding

Presenting wayfinding and directional information to tourists and locals to make cities a more walkable environment.

Applied's legible cities projects were the fantastic to work on. Each map is carefully crafted to highlight key information useful for pedestrians. Each system (London, Leeds and Ipswich) that I worked on had a bespoke colour palette, typeface and monolith design to help orientate users better in their surroundings.

The new GO transit maps for Metrolinx were designed to replace and expand the existing maps. I worked alongside a team to design a map that could be used by bus drivers and customers alike and aimed to highlight a comprehensive bus-train transport system. The many bus routes travelling across all different types of roads meant the design of the map was carefully considered to make it as legible as possible.
