WEEK 26: DISCREPANCIES



This week I went back on site to remeasure the doors and the existing signage mock ups that we stuck a few weeks ago.

The door signs got removed for painting and the installation of ironmongery and some of them went missing. During that process we discovered that some were not even appropriate for some doors, so remeasuring on site and re-sizing on AutoCAD was the next logical step.

WEEK 25: SITE PROGRESS


The signage plan mock up I worked on last week finally made it to the site wall, but did not work as well as we and and the clients would have liked it to. So in the mean time i have to work on another one. but while on site we managed to look at the progress of the overall clinic, instead of just focusing on the boring signage.

The mosaic motif is coming along nicely....


The landscaping is also looking good, but still in the process.
The plan mock up stuck on site. Not looking good at all. I have a feeling we are going to have to change it.

WEEK 24: SIGNAGE CONTINUES

The past few weeks saw me channeling my inner graphic designer, while working on the signage drawings for the Symphony Way Day Care Centre in Delft. This week will require me to put the skills back into action, because there are some things that the client and Carin Smuts are not happy about.

The first thing I have been working on this week is a plan of the building that should be stuck in the pre-waiting area for navigation purposes. The initial plan, hich had been done on AutoCAD was too architectural to be read by any Tom, Dick and Harry.

So I went back to simplify the existing plan and colour code it in order to make it easier to read. I used Photoshop to render it, through a process of trial and error, sending it back and forth to get approval from the clients.
