WayFinding Victoria Quarter

After my last critique I decided on a final plaque design taking into consideration what other people felt was most affective. I went with the slanted writing along a line which resembles a street. I made many plaques showing different sections of the quarter and these plaques would be placed in places that they would be most useful. I had to split County Arcade and Queen Victoria Street because they had the most shops.
In the last critique someone commented saying they liked that I had picked Bodoni as the font but said they think I should keep the plaques as all Bodoni and not include the sans serif font. I tried this but felt my original design choice was stronger because it was easier to read in smaller size and looks more professional due to the readability and modern look.

To show what the plaque would look like in context I took a photograph of one of the marble walls in the quarter and put my design onto it.
I stuck with my original designs for the shop fronts. Because I received good feedback.











I also stuck with the map because people respoded positively to it saying it was easy to follow. However I decided against the leaflet design because it was to over crowded as
not fitting with the classy nature of the rest
of the designs.
