A Trip To The Park

This work shop is going to the park!!
We doing some activity analysis and other visual research methods to help develop visual ideas for information graphics and narrative sequence.

My group choose to signage/direction system be our outcomes, Tourist is the Park users and the activity analysis are Behavioural mapping and Shadowing.

We walk to the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain and we decide that will be our
main area.

we sit there and watching people.





In Behavioral Mapping, we recording the pathways and traffic patterns of occupants of a space helps to define zones of different spatial behaviors.
We, recorded people do in Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain, they are having fun with water, memorial Diana, take photos, take walk and site on the grass and talk.

In Shadowing, we choose the tourists just passing the Memorial Fountain and fallow them walk out the park.

For our final outcome, we think we can make more information let kids know about the meanings and how to use this nice area.
