Wayfinding for a campus festival: an identity system that helps visitors find their way.

Project boundary. This is an academic project — not a claim of commissioned, built, tested, or approved work beyond what this page documents. The presentation and model describe a proposed sign system; it was not installed or user-tested.

My contribution

Solo concept: site study, sign-family design, campus mapping, dimensional drawings and presentation.

01 / Design decisions

Recognise the festival before reading a sign.

Colour and repeated forms make the entrance and landmarks recognisable. Their job is to announce the event and give people a point of orientation.

02 / Design decisions

Connect the landmark to the map.

The campus map gives the identity a practical task: showing where to go. Read the directory and sign details together to judge hierarchy at human scale.

03 / Design decisions

Build a family, not isolated objects.

Entrance, banners, landmarks and directory share a visual language. The presentation and model describe the proposed system; they do not establish an installed or user-tested outcome.

The proposed campus system separates cultural, student and virtual routes with colour and a shared icon legend. Entries, destinations and services sit in one map. The route system still needs real-distance legibility and accessible-route testing.
