Inflate Research

These were some typefaces i found in a book called "The Collection" they are both very bold typefaces and they look like they have been inflated. 

I did a collage of found letters of different typefaces to help me choose which letter to consider for my project. I found the "Hard Questions" typeface on da fonts this typeface really stood out to me as if it was inflated, i used it as a starting point for ideas.

How to... final product

how to... typefaces

This is the type of typeface we decided upon as a group it gave the map a more illustrative look and it made it feel more personal to the students.

How to... Logo

These were some of the logos we came up as a group, we decided to go for the more hand rendered feel as we thought it would give a more personal connection with the student.

How to... Layout

Above is the layout ideas we came up with as a group we decided that this would be the most simple and easily understandable way of presenting our map. We chose to include some map facts that way the student can get the best advice on what type of nap to take and how to do it. 

These were some of our maps we drew, we simplified them down from the ground floor originals to produce more easily understandable map, so the person going for a nap can quickly identify the closest napping area. directly above is a map found in the 'You Are Here' book  from one of my previous posts.  It has inspired our illustrative and simple look.  We thought that by hand rendering the map it would give a more personalised feel to the new students

How to... Research

We took a ground floor map and had a look round the college to identify the best places to sneak off for a nap, we decided to colour code these: navy being the most calming and yellow being acceptable napping area's.

How to... colour scheme

These were a number of colour schemes that were relavant to our map, we decided to look at the most calming colours to reflect the persons reading the maps mood.

how to... book research

This book our group took out from the library gave us a good insight on different types of maps.

Napping Hot Spots!

  

 

 

These are some of the top napping spots around college, ideal for whatever type of nap your in the mood for. The "Z" indicates dedicated napping area's so you know your in the right place.

How to... Group Idea Brainstorm

These are more focused ideas towards our Map

How to... Some Design Ideas

 

We experimented with some different shapes our map could be and how we can fold it so it would be pocket size and easily transportable.

How to... Group Research

 
This is the initial research into maps and floor plans to give us an idea of what we want our map to look like and to find places in college where we can have naps.

How to... Group Brainstorm Sheets

These are the initial brain storm sheets we produced to get to our final idea.
