Coventry Wayfinding Map

Extract from the Wayfinding map

Jason was commissioned by ONE Digital Signage, on behalf of Coventry City Council, to design and produce wayfinding mapping for interactive totems in the city centre. A preliminary draft of the mapping was provided by the authority, which it had earlier commissioned. However, it required updating, editing, restyling and rescaling to be work on FHD (1920×1080px) screens, mounted vertically, that were to be installed in interactive totems around the city centre. Whilst interactive screen-based solutions were often seen as the abtidote to on-street Wayfinding at the time, the low pixel density was a problem in in respect to map legibility.

Jason created a series of 3D landmarks to be displayed on the map to assist area recognition and journey planning. A simplified version of the map was also developed to facilitate the definition of cross-city walking and cycling routes.
