signage research

Today, I got loads of stuff done for my glorify part of the project. I started looking at some signage, to try and get some ideas about how to make the icons I will be using in order to make making the origami flowers alot simpler. First I looked at possibly the most famous simplification of something very complicated... the London tube map, by Henry Beck

And secondly, I looked at some other famous instruction sheets, that are probably famous for the wrong reasons! Ikea instructions. I wanted this very simply, clean cut style in my own work. It worked out really well today, but I maybe need to test the instructions on a few people so I can be sure that they work and people are going to be able to put these origami flowers together.
