Signage in context.

As shown above I have taken my designs and placed them into the Tropical World. Applying the same darkness, contrast and tone and shadows as each photo and all the photoshop skills I have learnt tried to effectively show how the image would work in context. 

When Alphabet designs showed their work to our class they spoke very highly of testing your designs in the context and the fact you cant test and experiment enough and to go back to your designs and alternate and edit to find the best size shape and scale. I have tired to implement similar techniques in my workings to try and understand what works best. 

Looking at my designs within the Tropical World in these photos I feel tho the illustrations are clear and graphic as they are consistently on white background the text feel somewhat disconnected from the illustrations. As there is not a consistent place for the signage to be placed I have had to look at placing it in many different heights this I feel doesn't help with clarity and how the information is communicated. This is something to consider within the next steps of my workings. 

I have use the typeface DIN for these images but looking at the work in context I feel it is not very appropriate it is not engaging enough for kids and the simplistic and modern style looks out of place along side the lighthearted illustrations. Looking at the designs out of context I thought DIN would be a good choice of type yet in these images it doesn't give the effect I wanted this shows the importance of looking at designs in context especially for way finding. 

Another positive for these design is there not too overbearing and allow the exhibits of the Tropical World to be the main focus in the designs. Which is something I have highlighted as important for this project.
