How can we use this map to guide tourists around Delft in a pre-designed manner? Visually our eyes are drawn to many points in the map. Symbols used in the map help us to create mental markers so that we may digest information easier. However, if we wish the tourist to move around Delft in a particular way, then we will need to utilise visual communication theory to force the eyes to 'read' the map in a predesigned manner.
Here is the map of Delft. It's already quite compact and visually, we can see that the canals create a natural barrier that already helps to keep tourists centralised.
Team Y have been busy reviewing potential concepts for assignment 2. We will publish them soon!
Hi team Y!
ReplyDeleteGood that you have taken a look at the existing map of Delft first. There are already a lot of interesting symbols and cues that might help you in this assignment (as you said, for example the natural barrier of the canals).
We are looking forward to see some of your work, so we can reflect on that and so we can give you some tips or advices.
Good luck with creating the concepts!
