Wayfinding
This blog tends to focus on the online world, not because there is a preference but because it’s the medium that gives us our voice. The longer I spend in the online world the more I am amazed by it’s similarity to the more traditional offline world. Compare the flow diagramming of a way finding system to that of an IAs wire frame and you’ll see this point proven.
Design Work Plan design blog, has a nice article on wayfinding systems. Something that is often overlooked, until your trying to find out where your supposed to be at say an airport (O’Hare anybody?) They give a nice quick set of guidelines and accompany it with plenty of tasty pictures. This conveniently comes out when I am just at the begining of helping to create a new wayfinding system. As an added bonus they include a link to some arrow vectors, so head on over and take a look.
