Class discussion with Marilyn Dean:
- The hours are always a big issue
- People always get lost and feel silly (biggest complaint)
- The system needs to be more than color coding
- WISH LIST: renumber office doors (left/right/left/right)
- People ask the box off workers lots of questions
- Art History room the hardest to find
- how do we direct past the art studio
Based on this information I have come to realize that the building is almost comical - There is no easy way to direct people. So, I've decided humor would be a wonderful way to admit the buildings messiness and let people know that we sympathize, yet want to help them get where they need to go. Besides, this is a building with a lot of creative people using it - a little goofiness would be absolutely appreciated.
What I want to focus:
- More prominent use of color
- Big signs
- Signage or something that the user can pick where they are going and it tells exactly how to get there
- Use descriptive language to describe and mock the building
- It might be cool to create an "app" that people can download to help them get through the building, OR some sort of map
- HUMOR
- SIMPLE SIMPLE SIMPLE
- Large, easy to read signs and graphics
