The School of Design of the Polytechnic University of Hong Kong was relocated to a new building, the Innovation Tower. Students were required to design an wayfinding system for it, as the assigment of our information design subject.
The design includes two parts, pictogram design and signage design. My designs were inspired by the building structure itself: the irregular shape and strips surrounding the building.
The pictogram design resembles heavily to the building's outline. I extracted certain slopes from the building and use them as a base. The men's room icon is developed first to set the general direction of the further icon designs.
After the pictograms were done, the signages were designed based on the same logic with slopes and irregular shapes. The information displayed were neat and clear in order to communicate efficiently to users.
Placed in the lobby near main entrance, the main directory shows the directory of all the rooms in the building, so as a map for navgivating in the lobby level.
Placed in various transitional points on each floor, the floor signage contains general directions to different rooms on that floor.
Placed in lift lobbies on each floor, allow users to quickly learn the rooms on that floor. Also provides a quick information for the purposes of each floors.
Placed outside of each rooms, the door signage directly shows the name and room number of that room.
