Different examples of how panels were used. The idea of having leaflet holders within the signs is something I would consider using. It's also interesting to see the use of symbols across the signs. The stand alone panels are quite practical because they can be placed wherever, and possibly be used as a separation device. The use of signs on a corner is something to be considered for directions.

Leeds City Museum






I went to Leeds City Museum so I could see what kind of signage and way finding they used. Some of the content of the museum is quite similar to that of the Natural History Museum. These particular examples make use of the floor to display information which is a really interesting way to use the space. I'm quite interested in using the floor to lead visitors to the areas.

Interesting shapes/formats for information points.


Some information taken from a pdf from the Natural History Museum. It's useful to see the colour combination of 1 bright colour as a background colour then black and white used for the type. This could be something I use for the information panels. Also it's interesting how the rounded corners have not only been used in their logo but it's something they've carried on throughout their literature. This could be developed for the shape of the panels, to continue the identity.

trying to understand the movement of a hummingbird, obviously this is slowed down a lot but it's really interesting.
