OUGD405 - Studio Brief 01 - Level Signage

Again, the signage for the each Level within the buildings has several possible designs options and during a critique it was concluded that the third design provided the most clarity, as the colour accent highlights the number while leaving the word 'level' neutral.






An initial ideas for the Level signage was to have each level of each block a different colour, but it was pointed out this would cause confusion as each block is itself a different colour. Another idea was to have a gradient that would run up the building, with lighter level signage on the lower floors and darker level signage on the upper floors, but again this would not fit with the colour scheme and would not be cohesive as each block's signage would contain a variety of colours that could not been seen elsewhere in the complex. It would also not suite the more sophisticated environment that this signage would try to create within a student accommodation complex.
