DESIGN RESEARCH REPORT
Designing maps to improve orientation for persons with low cognitive mapping skills
Final
report for graduate design course in Design Research Methods. My design
goal was to make the results of an academic research project visually
interesting.
The
project involved research into how effective map design and
orientation could improve navigation through urban spaces for persons
who self-identify as having a poor sense of direction and low
cognitive mapping skills.
All type is set in the Fedra family, by Slovak
type designer Peter Bil'ak. Headings, sub-headings, pullquotes, sidenotes, and captions set in Fedra Sans. Body copy set in Fedra Serif A.
