These images are from around the city centre in Leeds. The maps I think are quite interesting, the colour coding is helpful but there is a lot of information being communicated at once which could confuse people. If the design was easier to follow then the viewer would be able to find their destination quicker. The colour coding idea is a good one as it defines different elements within the city helping them stand out.
The trinity shopping centre in leeds has hundreds if not thousands of shoppers per day so an easy to follow way finding system should be priority. The boards contain a lot of information in a long list meaning you have to move around to fins out where you would like to go. Again a colour coding system has been put into place but this is on a smaller scale to a city so it would be easier to split the colours up again maybe to the style of shops. For example if you wanted a clothing shop you could look for yellow on the signage or for a games shop look for red and so on. I think there is a lot of potential with what has already been provided within trinity.
Tropical world is placed outside of the city centre in Leeds. The signage and way finding isn't exactly consistent, some of the signs printed on inkjet paper some branding the logo on what I would describe as proper signage, this makes it harder to find your way around. The building takes you around in a circle so it doesn't really matter to much on directions around but more for what you can find and see where animal wise. Tropical world has a good system but it needs more consistency within the designs of the signage.
