Here are our two concepts for the Delft Museum and Shops map. It is based on concept 8 where the doors of the houses face the path. The idea is that the route which is suggested, has all the icons facing the walking direction of this route.
So in concept A, the museum route is suggested and the museum icons are more or less facing towards the traveller walking along that route. The shopping bags are seen from the side which is less inviting than the museum icons.
In concept B, the shopping route is suggested by turning the shopping bags towards the route. The museums are standing with their backs to the viewer. This hopefully makes the shopping route more inviting than the museum route.

Funny effect. Playing with both clarity of the object and the color. Works well for the shopping bag.
ReplyDeleteOn the museum-favored map the museum one does not particularly pop out though. Seems more like evenly matched with the shopping bags. Blue will not win that easily from red, especially since you use blue in the layout as well. Perhaps a sandy yellow color would make the museum icons pop out more, or a bit darker - more contrast with the white line around it?
Fresh map layout, looks nice.

great job! the concept of the icons facing the rout is very interesting.. and the different colorours of the icons is pretty clear..
ReplyDeleteI'm curious to see the new icons inside the maps!
my only suggestion is that maybe you can play with the size of the icons. I mean, in the concept A you can decrease the dimensions of the bag icons, putting more attention on the museum route (increasing the dimensions of the museum icons too).
