Project Description
Design of my final year undergraduate dissertation in which I explore disorientation in London and develop on the urgent need to reassess the assumptions that make the city and its streets a pleasant experience for users. The direction of the design is based on the famous A-Z of London book, a classic that many Londoners own. I was interested on the fact that this book is still widely used in the city, and this simple fact is enough evidence to underline the issues regarding orientation systems in London.Production Lesson(s)
I used laser cut stencils for the title on flip-case as a cost effective alternative to foil blocking.
