Wayfinding research

Leeds Train Station
Since a train station is place where people commute and go to travel to different cities, I thought it would have a lot of directions and services. In the train station, they had pictograms, arrows for directions and lists of information and direction of different places.









Street signs
I found typical shapes in the city such as circles, triangles and squares placed as street signs to give out information and guidance. They also use different colour coding such as blue and brown. 





















Trinity shopping centre
The shopping centre gives the consumers guidance to services such as facilities, escalators, ways out and directions to different streets and have used bright colours and a back lit light to make it stand out more and make it easier to see.



































Department stores
I went into Harvey Nicholas and Debenhams to see their store guidance system and they have large information guide on what is on each floor, and directions of going down or up to certain places. I found that they looked quite boring and bland.
