Assignment 2: 2nd feedback session
After the feedback that we got in class, we took the opportunity to get more detailed feedback. We showed not only the first version of the concept, but as well concepts with first improvements. Here we present an excerpt of what we were told. We will try to make some changes, based on the very helpful comments and addtitionally on our first pilot tests.
Comparing the portrait and the landscape maps we did so far with each other, the museums seem less far on the map in landscape format. But the icons for museum that we have look a lot like temples from Athens, in a way. We should consider to develop other icons that represent museums. For example show, what is inside the museums, give triggers about the exhibitions which are going on.
The roads should be made more friendly and light. The use of warm colours was recommended to us to give the overall look of it a more inviting appearance. A positive aspect that was found by a designer about our map concept is, that it looks bright. As well the white lines give aesthetically something, but we should really be aware that the target group is pedestrians. In this context, the lines give the map in combination or more on top of the grey thicker lines, a depth that is overexegarated. We should question, whether the white lines are really necessary.
A very important advice was that we should at least some of the streets let expand until the station.
Now we had some feedback from the tutors and from first participants, 
but your feedback is always welcome, too!
