My Wayfinding system will be a series of signs dotted in different districts of Leeds, informing people of what the place used to be in the Industrial Revolution. I will Make a sign for the city centre, which used to be a transport and commerce hub for northern England; a sign for Holbeck and Hunslet which were the engineering sectors of Leeds; a sign for Rounhay, the middle class suburbs; and a sign for Bramley and Kirkstall the milling centres for Leeds. My signs will be traditional looking with a serif typeface and pictograms of what the district used to look like. I will use a classical colour scheme to fit with the old fashioned theme. To develop my sign system further i now need to gather up relevant research into the places themselves including what the landscape was like during the industrial revolution such as specific buildings that stood, or still stand and the quality of life in that area.
After my interim Crit, I was told to just focus on one part of this idea so I am just looking at mills around leeds instead of looking into lots of different parts of the history. The signs will direct you to mills around leeds with simple arrows wich to the nieve eye will not mean anything but can be followed by people to find different sites.
Refining my idea will make the sign system simpler and will work better as a wayfinding system. Before it was more of a sign now the idea is wayfinding
