During the presentations of the first concepts many remarks were made, which should be taken into account while designing the improved versions of the concepts. Some remarks made on our and other concepts were:
- first of all: implementing the perfect circle (yes, we were one of the many groups who didn't understand this correctly)
- nice style: made them think of children's drawings and children's perception on drawing a (in reality) 3D area, which could be something interesting to take into account for improvement. This remark made us think of the map of amusement park de 'Efteling' in Kaatsheuvel in the Netherlands (shown below). The map is nice and also shows some visual variables (mentioned in 'Visual Thinking for Design'), like cast shadows, perspective and height on picture plane. The big difference with our map, however, is that this 'Efteling' map does not lead you in a certain direction, which ours does have to elicit. Because of that, the map turned out to be less usefull than we thought in advance.
- distinction between the two routes: visual variables like gradient, move certain elements, color code can be used
- the use of a sign like "you are here" at the beginning of the route is not allowed
- characteristics like the canals in Delft can be used to make the map more clear
With these remarks in the back of our head we thought of new concepts which will be shown and discussed in the next post.
