What does IIID mean by „information design“? Information design aims at transforming data into high-quality information. The idX project made us aware that high-quality information must serve a purpose. We condensed our insights to IIID‘s tag line: Data transformed into high-quality information empower people to attain goals. Thus IIID welcomed submissions ranging from visualizations that help people understand undisputed facts, situations and processes for whatever imaginable purposes to information and information systems facilitating understanding as well as enabling goal oriented action. Referring to the last of the listed evaluation criteria „Attractiveness and elegance of the designed information“ – shouldn‘t information designers restrict themselves to design well understandable and easily applicable information irrespective of its appeal and aesthetic value? Would the latter be really needed to empower people to attain goals? I may quote David Hume from his undisputed A Treatise of Human Nature, first published 1739/40: „Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions“. Thus, let‘s not forget about passions, which perhaps manifest themselves best through attractiveness and elegance. In 2011, the International Institute for Information Design was celebrating its 25th anniversary. While many things have changed since its founding, the aim of IIID was, and still is, to promote and expand design knowledge and research. With 25 years of experience, IIID is recognized as the world leader in information design development. The time is ripe for us to acknowledge the best in what information design has to offer which is why we are presenting the inaugural IIID Awards competition this year. The Awards competition will be held every three years, with the next competition taking place in 2014.

Universal design Museums and visual impairment. The case study of the Venice Accademia Galleries

Category: Project:

What was the challenge? This project is aimed at the use of the artistic heritage by blind and visually impaired people. The project was carried out by the research unit “New Design Vision” of the Università Iuav di Venezia in 2010 for the Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage. Tools are designed specifically for one of the most important museums of the world: Accademia Galleries of Venice. The museums have always been at the center of the disclosure process as well as preservation of culture and its heritage. In these years, their mission is particularly committed to the tasks of communication and the evolution of technologies have contributed significantly to strengthening the role of the media. Paintings, architecture, sculpture and drawings, archaeological artefacts and objects have enhanced their use in the compositions from the most different media. Rarely, however, these projects turn their attention to the use of cultural heritage by the visually impaired or blind people. Our project is based on the ethical principle of accessibility in communication design, on forms of communication that ensure the transmission of knowledge and informa-

tion to all population groups, including the weakest. Our research-project is an emblematic case of communication design of the accessibility. The task was presented with an apparent contradiction: a visual communication project aimed at people with permanent reduction in visual acuity or visual field. But the results have shown how practical and useful has been the commitment to evidence of increased sensitivity gained by the culture of communication design to the needs of the consumer with a visual disability. What was the solution? The address in terms of design has led to develop tools that meet the needs of visually impaired and blind people, but also know how to inform and guide the wider audience of those who have visual impairments that are not legally recognized and who has no visual impairment. To this end, we made use of techniques and technologies who are able to concentrate in a single instrument multisensorial ways of information’s transmission that are suitable for the use of sight, but also of touch and hearing. Each user can then use their skills to best advantage in perceptual and use, in the most convenient way, the potential of the

various instruments on the basis, from time to time, of the exclusive use of one sense or on a multiple possible combinations. For this we have used, alongside the more traditional technologies, also the digital ones (already widely used for other purposes in museums), and this has allowed us to make the information available on site or remotely, using Internet. We have identified different types of communication (from architecture to sculpture, painting, drawing) and different methods and techniques. We have chosen to use all three modes of representation for visual-tactile exploration: the allround, the bas-relief and the design. We therefore carried out a series of tools described below. The various components of visual-tactile tools can be used jointly to strengthen the knowledge of architecture, sculpture, paintings, drawings, photographs, objects, etc.. It was realized a synthetic model of the Accademia Galleries architectural complex (in wood and scale 1:200) also suitable for tactile exploration and with an exploration’s guide. The six blocks that now make up the complex of Galleries (traced back to different periods, architects and original intended use) may be picked up and touched separately to understand those characteristics.

GRAND PRIX WINNER Two panels have embossed-serigraphy maps, information and guidance systems, visual-tactile illustrations in order to be suitable for all users. The first panel describes the architecture of the Galleries, the second tells the story of the Palladian building and its bas-reliefs. The chosen type of screen printing uses a special ink that turns design into transparent touch rilief so that you can have a double level of reading: visual and tactile. The panels are joined by the exploration guides in audio and text (large print or Braille characters). As an example for the tools needed for paintings, it was made a Giorgione’s Tempest bas-relief prospective, suitable for tactile exploration and comprehensive guides. To enable visually impaired and blind (but also to a wider public) to have prior knowledge acquired in the Accademia, home or in associations and libraries, digital technologies were used and three-dimensional printing. It was produced a transposition of the tactile drawing by Leonardo da Vinci said “Vitruvian Man”, accompanied by 9 boards in relief and integrated with audio, Braille, large print and postcards. Visual-tactile maps and drawings were made from an infrared oven for visual-tactile printing with microcapsules paper. These instruments allow the blind and partially sighted people to enjoy works of art, but also to orient themselves and get other information about the museum. Web media designed, features and tactile graphics are combined in order to be read either by the visually impaired, but also by a wider audience, providing an example of a solution that ensures seamless integration of various audiences. At the end, it was produced a book containing the guidelines to the design and that describes the obtained results.

What was the effect? The elements described here are used in new exhibitions of the Accademia Galleries, in particular in a room specially designed. The “Vitruvian Man” tactile designs were tested in an exhibition on Leonardo da Vinci’s works and have had excellent evaluations. This project also represents a significant opportunity to take ideas and suggestions that are also applicable to other museums. For this reason, the knowledge has been translated into guidelines for designers that are now used in other Italian organizations. The design guidelines were based on the systematization of knowledge about the issues to be addressed and solutions to make available the works of art to people with visual disabilities. Such techniques and solutions have been compared in the different types of work, the various visual impairments and the different techniques and are useful to those who must project, choose, plan or purchase tools and subsidies to museum visits. It was made for this a publication entitled Musei e superamento delle barriere percettive. Il caso delle Gallerie dell’Accademia di Venezia (“Museums and overcoming barriers of perception. The case of the Accademia Galleries in Venice”) in which are

presented the guidelines, the description of significant cases at the international level, and the solutions adopted for the Accademia. Since there is not a mode of representation or a technique better than the others by far, the objective was to provide that information which is necessary for a correct choice of the best solution to the museum context specific. The publication is accompanied by a CD with audio-files, in order to ensure full usability of content.

Healthcare Hablamos Juntos Universal Symbols in Healthcare Set

What was the challenge? SEGD and Hablamos Juntos have been working together since 2003 to develop design and educational tools to support wayfinding systems in healthcare environments. These efforts are part of Hablamos Juntos’ ongoing mission to provide practical solutions to language barriers in healthcare. What was the solution? The symbol set was designed in two phases. The first phase included design professionals; the second phase was done with students from 4 universities. Phase I In 2003, Yolanda Partida, director of Hablamos Juntos (We Speak Together), with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, contracted with JRC Design to complete an initial study to determine the feasibility of using symbols as an alternative to text-only signs in healthcare settings.The study concluded not only that symbols were a viable option for wayfind ing in healthcare, but that a set of tested symbols, publicly available, would give designers and healthcare facilities a muchneeded alternative to typical word signage. Under the leadership of Jamie Cowgill, JRC also contracted and led the development of an initial set of 30 symbols. The project design team also included Kate Keating, Meg Faye, Jack Biesek, Gladys Brenner, and Jim Bolek. Wendy Olmstead provided technical expertise for symbol recognition testing, and completed data analysis. The Phase I research, completed in 2006, resulted in a set of 28 Universal Symbols in Health Care.

Phase 2 After the release of the original USHC set, it became clear that the selection, design, and integration of symbols into one unified set—a set that could be adapted universally by healthcare facilities of varying size, function, and complexity—would be an ongoing process. There was a need for additional symbols, guidance on their selection and use, and integration of symbols into a holistic wayfinding system including print and web-based support.

What was the effect? The symbol set is now available for usage by healthcare systems around the world.

These questions became the focus for our Phase 2 research, begun in 2008, which was designed to encourage widespread adoption of the symbols by healthcare facilities serving LEP or limited-reading populations. Phase 2 had three primary objectives: Support implementation of symbolsbased wayfinding systems using evidence-based practices. Document the implementation experience, produce tested best practices for healthcare facilities, and promote awareness of symbols-based wayfinding as a solution for multilingual environments. Add 20 to 30 new symbols to the Universal Symbols set. Phase II research was completed in August 2010; it included both the design and testing of new symbols, and symbol testing at four Innovator Health Care Facilities. A consortium of four university design schools (University of Cincinnati, Iowa State University, California Polytechnic, and Kent State University) developed a process for researching, designing, and testing new symbols. Professors Oscar Fernandez, Kathryn McCormick, Lisa Fontaine and David Middleton collaborated on the academic consortium. Professor Lisa Fontaine of Iowa State University supervised the user testingof the new symbols from phase 2, which was conducted by faculty and students at University of Cincinnati, Iowa State University, and Kent State University. Mies Hora of Ultimate Symbols refined the symbol set.

Project:

Child-fair switching of medical diagnoses with informationgraphic.

What was the challenge? The challenge was to develope a new type of informationgraphic to explain the range of medical diagnoses for the special target group of children aged 6 to 11 years. What was the solution? As the conclusion i created the project »aha!« which is a special tool for information for kids, during their stay in a hospital. Every child gets its own and individual information-set. A map which attends them during their stay on the station and helps to understand their symptoms by means of infographics. The map is divided into the information area with different infographics of the desease picture, the general methods of treatment and a diary, which invites to experience the proceedings in demanding times and to document and process the impressions actively. What was the effect? The aim is the creation of a new tool in order to improve the communication between the patients, their parents and the personal of the hospital. In addition, a new character of informationgraphic, that focuses on the needs of children, is developed.

The Health Machine

What was the challenge? Today, the world faces a global healthcare challenge from the increase of obesity and type 2 diabetes. In 2007, 23.6 million people in the United States had diabetes; one in seven low-income, pre-school-aged children were obese. The medical treatment cost was approximately $132 billion. It doesn’t have to be this way. Armed with information plus guided by persuasion, people can make changes in nutrition and exercise that can improve their situation dramatically, even in instances of lower income or less education. Today, people are more aware, but not enough are making changes in nutrition and exercise to impact their health. In November 2009, AM+A became interested in how mobile technology could be used to inform and persuade people to make shortterm and long-term behavior changes. This approach was based on the success of its earlier Green Machine project. In the summer of 2010, Aaron Marcus organized a team of AM+A Associates, in particular an international team of Designer/Analyst Interns, to help him research, design, and document a new approach to mobile applications that combined information design (and visualization) with the principles of behavior change. This team included these interns: • Arne Berger, Germany • Phoebe uewei e, China • Bartu Fuad Pirincci, Turkey • Rosa Jue uan, China Many organizations that treat addictions use persuasion, such as Weight Watchers, Alcoholics Anonymous, and SmokeEnders. Several theorists and analysts have

described the philosophy, principles, and techniques such as Robert Cialdini e.g., in “The Science of Persuasion,” Scienti c American, February 2001 and B. J. Fogg. e.g., in Mobile Persuasion, 200 . AM+A distilled a ve step process for achieving behavior change: • Increase frequency of using application • Motivate change in some nutrition and exercise habits: e.g., smaller portions, walking more, etc. • Teach how to change nutrition and exercise habits • Persuade users to change their habits (short-term change) • Persuade users to change their lifestyle (long-term change) President bama’s wife Michelle became interested changing the “nutrition pyramid) in 2011 to assist People. Similar data can be provided by mobile apps and associated eb portals to help all “stakeholders” who are concerned with a user’s health. In today’s communication media, nutrition and exercise data can be collected and managed, together with other statistics, charts, maps, news, images, in a social context that is familiar to users of mobile media. AM+A investigated and compared about 24 mobile applications to consider how more could be done by not only providing information but combining that information with a program for behavior change. What was the solution? AM+A developed an information architecture for the ealth Machine, a mobile application concept design incorporating the steps of behavior change identi ed above. The key ingredients of the design are e pressed in the ve buttons at the bottom of every screen: • Dashboard: ow am I doing now In this case, one’s current nutrition (e.g., the ingredients of a recent meal or the day’s summary) or exercise (a recent

session or the day’s summary) • Model of the future: hat will I be like in the future, or what will an avatar (a cute pet that lives seven times faster than I) be like if I keep consuming food and exercising as I am now • Friends network: ith whom am I connected ho can provide support • Tips and advice: ow can I start with small steps ow can I increase my behavior changes • Competitions and challenges: hat available games, puzzles, or other incentives can make things fun Following a user centered design process, AM+A focused on user pro les or personas representing three typical users (a Caucasian owner of small business, 7 an African-American single-parent, 57; and a ispanic small business owner, 70 and use scenarios (recording meals, comparing behavior/results with others, checking with friends, getting advice, etc.). Keeping these two aspects in mind enabled AM+A to design a set of key functions and data for the application. AM+A organized these functions and data into the information architecture of the ealth Machine, which is shown in the accompanying Figure 1. Based on the information architecture, AM+A designed preliminary screens for key components of the application focused on improving nutrition and increasing exercise: • My Condition: Dashboard • 2000: Model of the future • Friends: Social networking among family, friends, and professionals • Tips: Advice about starting small, how to make progress, how to improve • Challenges: Games and competitions providing entertainment and incentives AM+A showed the initial designs to a trainer for patients with diabetes. In general, the trainer reacted favorably toward the prototype and its potential to motivate behavior change.

SHORTLISTED What was the effect? Based on feedback, AM+A revised the screens as shown in the accompanying Figures 2 through 7. AM+A published a case study in Information Design Journal and an article in the Proceedings of Design, User perience, and Usability DU U 2011. A third article is scheduled for publication in a leading user-experience design magazine. AM+A has presented the ealth Machine at healthcare, design, and mobile conferences worldwide and is actively engaged in nding a corporate organi ational patron or sponsor for further research and development. The future of the ealth Machine project could follow the success pattern of the Green Machine, which was taken up by SAP in 2010. Future design challenges include adapting the ealth Machine for very different age groups, cultures, and use contexts. The potential for incorporating information design and persuasion design principles into healthcare enterprise and consumer mobile software products has a large potential worldwide impact in improving health conditions that plagues many worldwide.

New York University Langone Medical Center Wayfinding Communications Masterplan

What was the challenge? The New York University Langone Medical Center campus in New York City is in a period of tremendous growth and development. Major gifts have led to the renaming and re-branding of this world-class institution and its several facilities in Manhattan’s emerging East Side bio-science district. New building projects headed by Ennead Architects and NBBJ are improving and expanding facilities and the institution’s capacity to care for more people in new and innovative ways. Two Twelve has been contracted to develop state-of-the-art wayfinding and visitor communications systems as part of NYULMC’s ongoing Campus Transformation master plan. Our challenge was to create integrated, patient-centered, multi-lingual wayfinding communications that would further the Center’s mission to provide world-class care. What was the solution? With the long term goal in mind, Two Twelve began developing a new wayfinding program that will provide people with useful, consistent, and sustainable communications across multiple media. For this comprehensive and integrated approach to wayfinding communications, Two Twelve teamed with integrated wayfinding and technology consultants to help coordinate strategies for wayfinding, communication design, architecture, and new technologies in the development of a NYULMC Wayfinding Master Plan.

Contact: name: Sarah Haun, Chief Marketing Officer company/organisation: Two Twelve e-mail: shaun@twotwelve.com website: www.twotwelve.com

To help visualize the strategy solution and show how visitors would experience and use the recommended tools, Two Twelve created a video that illustrates a future hospital visit, step by step, from the patient’s home to a specific room. The system will provide maps and directions on NYU’s website, clear directions in the visitor’s language of choice, and will aid navigating the public areas of the medical center via interactive kiosks, thus allowing the visitor easy access to personalized support along every step of his or her journey. This video proved extraordinarily effective in helping senior management and stakeholders understand and embrace the opportunity to vastly improve the visitor experience through wayfinding design. It was then distributed across the entire Medical Center staff to garner support for the new system. What was the effect? The Wayfinding Master Plan has clearly outlined the overall strategy and detailed the rationale and tactics for implementing the integrated wayfinding system. The Plan has been approved by NYULMC’s executive leadership team, and the design and content details of signage, touchscreens, website, handouts, and staff training materials are being developed.

The Money Machine

What was the challenge? Today, baby boomers, who are retiring in ever greater numbers in the USA, control 80% of personal financial assets and more than 50% of discretionary spending power. The AM+A Money Machine concept design for a mobile (phone and tablet plus associated Web portal) seeks to provide baby boomers with retirement, investing, and budgeting information in a way that helps them change their spending and saving habits appropriately. AM+A targeted baby boomers aged 47-55 after investigating data about them, because they need to plan for retirement and are more likely to use newer technology. AM+A’s objectives were to make the Money Machine easy to use, appealing, able to motivate behavior change, and able to help people to make small changes that show personal benefits. Armed with information plus guided by persuasion, people can make changes in their retirement plans that can improve their situation dramatically, even for people with low-income and less education. In 2011, AM+A became interested in using mobile technology to inform and persuade people to make behavior changes. This approach was based on the successful Green Machine energy use project.

icons and aligned the content with the questions that are important to investors, based on our user-based research.

What was the challenge? BT Financial Group, one of Australia’s leading investment companies, approached Second Road to reinvent the disclosure document for one of their flagship investment products called “BT Wrap”. A product distributed via financial advisers, BT Wrap essentially is a tool that ‘wraps’ around an investment portfolio, shielding an investor from the complication of managing multiple investments from varying providers.

What was the solution? Using a process of user-based research, co-design, prototyping and testing, Second Road and BT Financial Group created a new short-form disclosure document consisting of no more than 20 pages. Our goal was to create a document that genuinely promoted customer understanding of the product, and could be used effectively as a tool during the financial advice process.

In Australia, regulators require financial institutions to supply disclosure documents to prospective investors in any financial product, to make sure they understand what they are investing in. The current disclosure document was 75 pages long and primarily a legal document in its content and style. Its challenging format and content meant that very few financial advisers actually used it for explaining the product and very few investors actually read it.

We reshaped the structure and tone of the content to reflect the perspective of the customer, used visual diagrams and plain English to help explain key concepts, and moved the legal terms and conditions to a user-friendly CD-Rom placed in a pocket in the back. We also added new features such as an ‘experience pathway’ to help explain what fees would be paid (as opposed to a bland table), and also some new material on the rights of the investor.

What was the effect? The new disclosure document has been extremely well received by both investors and the financial planners who provide it to them. Investors are now a lot more engaged and clearly understand the offering – as one investor declared, “compared to others out there, this one’s great... It’s easier to understand.” Complex financial products have always struggled to achieve this within the Financial Services industry. Financial planners have benefitted from having a document that supports both their communication and their brand. One planner explained the transformation: “I never used the disclosure document before – it detracted from the value proposition. Now, it’s a selling point.” And the smaller size has lowered printing costs by 40% and also reduced the consumption of paper. A senior executive within BT hailed it as setting a new benchmark for disclosure documents.

3 Visual aids We replaced heavy text with visual aids to better explain how the product works, creating real benefits for both financial advisers and investors. The ‘What is Wrap?’ visual was particularly powerful in promoting understanding of the product. In the words of one adviser, “This diagram is priceless. I can explain the whole value proposition to a client from one page. It’s clear and it’s useful, which is what I need.”

4 Experience pathway We used an experience pathway to make the fees and costs more tangible for customers. In this way, we tried to connect the fees to the real situation of the investor, rather than cloaking them in marketing and legal jargon.

5 Next steps The last spread extends the value of the disclosure document, by explaining to the customer in simple terms what will happen if they choose to use “BT Wrap”. This helped to connect the document both to the wider application process and to their ongoing relationship with their adviser.

Simple Super

What was the challenge? In Australia, it is compulsory in many employment situations for a percentage of your earnings to be put into an investment fund for you to access once you reach a certain age and stop working. This is called ‘superannuation’ (or ‘super’). The industry and products within it are quite complex, which is often magnified by poor communication design. Many information pieces are not only overwhelming and hard to understand, but often also seem irrelevant to the person receiving them. Despite feeling that superannuation is important for reasons like future financial security, I found it intimidating. It seemed so complicated and out of sight, and I consequently struggled to find the motivation to try and understand it. After speaking to a broad range of people I discovered that I was not alone in this dilemma, and some people were not even sure which super fund(s) their money is in. What was the solution? After conducting user research and taking the time to gain a general understanding of superannuation, I developed a website concept and printed materials to help explain the basics. My target audience was young adults (aged 15-25) who are entering or already in the workforce, and I aimed to communicate superannuation information in a more visual, accessible and engaging way. The intention behind this was to give people enough knowledge to more confidently access existing superannuation information, and empower them to make informed decisions about their own superannuation.

Website concept The website is designed to utilise multiple forms of media (including animations) to cater for various learning styles. Varying levels of existing understanding have also been considered. As well as providing

information about superannuation, it allows you to select which content you are interested in and export a customised pdf that acts as an information pack specifically relevant to your needs.

MORE THAN ADEQUATE Printed materials I designed an information booklet and a document wallet to be received with a form that legally must be filled out when you start a new job. The information booklet outlines basic ideas behind superannuation such as things to look for when choosing a product and how to manage it. The document wallet is designed to encourage recipients to keep track of their superannuation documents so they know where their money is.

Booklet and document wallet

Visualisation is used to help explain topics and show elements within a larger context. It also makes the information more accessible and visually engaging.

Front cover fold-out in the booklet acts as a checklist of information covered.

What was the effect? When testing the solution, people both within and outside my target audience found the designs helpful in better understanding superannuation and becoming more aware of what they can do to manage it well. Although not published, I have shown the project to teams within two large financial services organisations. Seeing what is possible has inspired them to believe that although superannuation itself is complicated, they can empower their customers and help them understand the industry and products within it through intuitive and well thoughtout information design. Information is presented in different ways for visual interest and to enhance readability.

Derby Wayfinding and Public Art

The Challenge Derby City Council sought to create new wayfinding for Derby city centre that would would be unqiue to the city, reinforce key routes spaces and destinations, and encourage visitor exploration. The Solution In collaboration with Eaton Waygood Public Artists and Arup Associates technology team, Placemarque developed the scheme designing a range of bespoke structures and mapping supported by digital mobileweb based information, location specific applications and barcodes that deliver a wide range of information and stories to reinforce the local character and distinctiveness of Derby to visitors and residents. The wayfinding system includes a number of key components to enable it to deliver the right information at the right time in the right way. Map panels and directional information had to be incorporated into the sign structures, along with interpretive information and electronic tags. Our approach was to develop this range of wayfinding structures in a way that reflected and celebrated the public art themes of engineering and technology. These core structures provide the necessary wayfinding information required to create a legible and easily navigable environment. Our references for designing the system where to use the themes of technology and innovation; Derby is renowned for the manufacture of the jet engine and a

connection with flight along with several older crafting industries. The manufacturing tradition is of well engineered, functional and innovative solutions, exemplified by the jet engine with its beautiful and sculptural quality, with Rolls Royce of Derby being one of the two leading aircraft engine manufacturers in the world.

GOAL! WINNER The finned column became a key visual statement connecting the sign design. This rotor form is symbolic of cogs as part of early industrial technologies connected to clock-making spinning and steam, waterwheels, rail engine wheels, and the jet engine fan – a linking device for all types of past and present industrial and transport technologies. Taking the shape of the rotor and extruding it into a 3-dimensional form creates a column and forms the structural core element for the wayfinding information system. The graphic panels containing the directional and interpretation information are hung from the column which symbolically forms the hub.The top of the column is concluded by slicing at an angle revealing the rotor shape to the pedestrian as well as indicating movement and direction. Digital Delivery Digital information was integrated into the strategy through the use of QR tags and smart phone applications to deliver a much wider level of information and interpretation and provide an opportunity for temporary events and information to be delivered. The Effect Through a combination of form, colour and graphic devices these structures stand out from the competing plethora of other signage and street furniture in the city. The system provides interpretative stories, trails, what’s on guides, tourist information and links to tourism web sites. In addition it provides a mobile mapping ‘app’ to enable visitors to find their way using their smart phone. Mapping on the signs and the app is consistent ensuring a seamless delivery of the information system.

Revised Tsuanmi Evacuation Route

What was the challenge? After reviewing evacuation wayshowing material distributed to residents by emergency management departments in the United States, it became clear that wayshowing and wayfinding methodologies were absent. The challenge was defining criteria and performance tasks, if any, developed by stakeholders, and how decisions were being made in creating and distributing these materials. What was the solution? The wayshowing redesign heavily relied on distribution prior to an evacuation in achieving better cognitive recall. Fundamentals in wayshowing practice and theory guided decisions of visual variables and were constructed towards an instructional approach rather than a geographical one. Lengths of components were reduced achieving better levels of organization. Cognitive variables in the psychology of emergency ingress and egress, collective behavior, tunnel vision, and issues in temporary cognitive paralysis were also considered and applied to the redesign. What was the effect? The City of Santa Barbara incorporated the proposed research and design methodology for a tsunami evacuation campaign in 2011. They have incorporated information design standards when creating wayshowing material for the public. Currently, with Dr. Steve Schandler (Director, Cognitive Psychophysiology Laboratories at Chapman University) and Santa Barbara Emergency Management, a quantitative study on measuring the cognitive recall of the design (including visual, audio and written formats) is in progress. The data will continue to influence design and logistical revisions in conjunction with a continuous cyclical distribution plan.

Project: Yeongwol Museum Story Map

Challenge Yeongwol is located in southern Gangwon-do, the middle inland of the Korean peninsula. It also has a sad history about Danjong (1441~1457), King of the Joseon Dynasty, who was exiled and killed there. His tomb has been designated as one of UNESCO world heritage. The city has a population of ﬁfty thousand and contains 20 museums. Millions of tourists visit the city per year and now it hopes to be known as a museum city. Yeongwol wants to let people know about its ﬂuent cultural and natural assets through the improvement of information design of the city map and guide system. The existing map typically shows the general information for physical space regarding the geographical features, location, roads, etc. So the city wants to create a new type of information map to upgrade its level of communication and image of the city. We thought that one of the methods to solve these problems was the theme-based map. It shows intellectual space information of the phenomena along with geographical information. It's not just about adding some supplementary information, but emphasizing more distinctive themes and stories onto the physical space information.

Solution In order to apply the concept of a thematic map to Yeoungwol, we created the museum story map including museum guide map and sign design. We collected the spacial stories of the city including the physical and intellectual space information. Then those were sorted and organized in hierarchy for visual mapping. With the museum story map, applied information design principles regarding the data organization and information visualization, the city will empower the communication function with the users. Creating information structure and visualization for the map are as below.

t1IZTJDBM TQBDF JOGPSNBUJPO -The information of the area separates into 3 groups, and the directory is offered in accordance with the coordinate system. t*OUFMMFDUVBM TQBDF JOGPSNBUJPO -The map shows stories regarding the most meaningful content of each museum and the city. t.FBOJOHGVMMZ PSHBOJ[FE JOGPSNBUJPO -We organized content stories for all museums and tour sites into information layers.

Sunshine Coast Council Regional Wayfinding Strategy

What was the challenge?

What was the solution?

What was the effect?

The Sunshine Coast is a major local and international tourist destination in Australia. It covers 3000 square kilometres of sub tropical environments including 220 kilometres of coastline of golden surfing beaches.

The solution aimed to combine a clear hierarchical wayfinding system with strong landmark elements that gave a sense of place to the local towns as well as provide consistent unifying urban elements from town to town in the region. A key strategy was to create strong information landmarks at public arrival and gathering points. These landmarks set a strong visual language that was then echoed in subsequent supporting signage.

“Amalgamating three separate Councils into one has not been without its difficulties, and this project was seen as having the potential to galvanise the community as seeing itself as a whole, as the Sunshine Coast. At the same time, the region is dominated by strong local characteristics - a community of communities. The challenge for this project was not just one of legibility and wayfinding, but also one of identity and “look and feel”. If we are to install something into the street environment, it had to be both functional and sympathetic to the community character, rural, urban and coastal. It had to have both a sculptural quality and disappear. It had to service both pedestrians and cyclists, locals and tourists, and have a high quality finish but be affordable. The success of this project lies in its ability to have met all of these competing criteria by developing a range of attractive suites for various locations that has referenced the local context and is more than just a sign - it is a flexible, responsive and unified system. A client couldn’t ask for more!”

The communities there include small hinterland farming towns as well as bustling high-end beachfront resort towns. The challenge was to seamlessly connect a ‘community of communities’ by assisting many diverse user groups to discover and locate all types of destinations and activities from transport connections to the local beach, from national park hiking trails to the nearest police station. The challenge was also to develop a kit of parts of sign types that could sit comfortably in the different hinterland and beachside environments.

While the design elements are consistent they also change to respond to the different regions. The high tourism coastal sites use rounded concrete plinths as landmarks that suggest the erosion of the wind and the ocean. The hinterland uses simpler timber blades that convey a rural warmth. The map design was a critical element on the information landmarks designed to attract and engage the new arrival. The map also used visual erosion to show only the relevant precinct and used a colour palette that attracted the viewer and focused on the main attractions.

Falls Creek Wayfinding and Signage

What was the challenge? Büro North were engaged by The Falls Creek Alpine Resort to develop a new wayfinding system for one of the largest alpine resorts in Australia. Falls Creek is in the process of changing from a typical alpine ski resort to an all year round destination, the challenge for Büro North was to develop a wayfinding system that met the needs of both the summer and winter users of the resort. The wayfinding system was required to adapt between both summer and winter modes of operation where key destinations and principle routes would fundamentally change depending on the time of year. The wayfinding system also needed to be an environmentally conscious solution to match the resort’s position as the first alpine-based organisation to be benchmarked by Green Globe 21: the international certification program for sustainable tourism. What was the solution? Büro North developed a modular wayfinding system to provide information in a wide variety of directions to suit the complex village layout and changing seasonal functions. The system was developed using a limited number of modular components, enabling a range of sign types to be created from a limited number of elements reducing manufacturing costs and minimising the environmental impact of the system. The modular design was also driven by the requirement to provide a system that could be repaired and updated by staff in bulky

winter clothing, in often hostile conditions typical of the Australian Alps. The design of the signage was inspired by the natural environment, specifically the native Snow Gums that are unique to the region, the branch like arrangements and shifting vertical forms were developed to allow the signs to integrate with the unique landscape Fall’s Creek. The materials and finishes were developed to withstand the freeze and thaw conditions and abuse from skiers, snow transport and the harsh alpine environment. What was the effect? The new system effectively responds to the seasonal changes within the resort and has been an important factor in the development of Falls Creek from a100 day per year economy to a vibrant year round destination. With the system in place Falls Creek have also been able to maintain their classification in the Green Globe international program.

What was the solution? The wayfinding strategy focused on developing a detailed understanding of user profiles, their behaviour and abilities, as well as the operational requirements of ACMI. The strategy focused on a major audit of the site and its context, focusing on pedestrian behaviour within Federation Square, on major approaches from public transport and Flinders Street. What was the effect? Largely the result is a more functional space, removing many of the navigational issue ACMI was experiencing. This included entry confusion, functional and process problems, as well helping with a smooth transition with its architectural changes. The integrated and considered design solution also contributes to the fabric to one of Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural landmarks.

Project:

Harpa, Reykjavík Concert Hall and Conference Centre

What was the challenge? To design a wayshowing system for the new concert hall in Iceland. A system that is very practical, usable and user friendly. All the while not being to visually aggressive so it would compete with the architecture and feel of the building, but to build on it. What was the solution? The building being very dark and matte (black concrete walls) in contrast to its dominent glass facade, we decided not to attract attention to the signs using colours, but rather to use the contrast in materials. For the matte walls we designed signs having only a high-glossy front. And for the glass walls we use a matte film. All the signs have a black background with gray type and/or pictograms. The plexiglass versions are 1-2 cm thick. Both decisions made to honor the design of the building. To get this glossy front on the signs we needed to design a completely new system to mount the signs. They should have a close to invisible mounting system and yet a simple way to change the graphics if needed. And thus the current system was designed showing only a thin black stripe of metal on top and bottom of the plexiglass front. What was the effect? The effect is a very nicely balanced wayshowing system in this brand new concert halls. A system in perfect harmony with the architecture.

University of Iceland

What was the challenge? To make a system of information-signs all around the university campus. These signs give basic information about the surrounding buildings and the campus as a whole. And also to visually tie the 28 buildings, in 6 locations around the country, together. What was the solution? A system of four basic types of signs and window graphics. The largest being a gateway into the campus area and a 2,5 m high stand showing the whole campus on a map with basic information. Then a 2 m high sign that is located in front of the entrance of buildings to give detailed information about that building. When leaving a building, the backside of a sign shows you the location of the nearest buildings as wall as the transport possibilities. Lastly various window graphics with details about that entrance and building. The colour scheme uses the university blue as a main colour and the department colours to signify which departments are in which building. The information is designed in units, arranged from top down. Thus giving us a simple system to make each complex sign differently while keeping a very recognisable visual look. What was the effect? Visual landmarks all around the university campus, presenting necessary information and a visual guide to the grounds. A system that has in a very short timespan become the visual landmark of this now 100 year old university.

Project:

Europeum, Mariazell

What was the challenge? The challenge was to create a guidance system which reflected the intrinsic character of the building and fully utilised the spatial resources available, yet at the same time, would not create an abundance of signs. After 850 years as a pre-eminent crossroads of human spiritual encounters, the pilgrimage town of Mariazell gave birth to a modern, multi-functional convention centre and christened it the Europeum. Apart from wide-ranging conference and convention facilities, a permanent exhibition also presents an artistic display of the European community as a walking-hand-inhand of people from a plethora of heritages and cultures, by means of depicting the life stories of 27 selected Europeans. The architecture exemplifies this European concept by being utterly wide open itself. Eye contact between the various floors is always possible, and has extremely high ceilings as a consequence. What was the solution? The solution takes up the central and identity-defining idea of a borderless Europe comprising many peoples and cultures. Based on a population map of Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s religions, a flexible grid was distilled with wayfinding information to the most important goals of the building integrated into it. Onto each wall, an individual section of the European map was transplanted which fulfils both the functional requirements of wayfinding and the aesthetic/ thematic requirements of the building. Thus, oversized typographical murals with high visibility from a distance covering several floors were devised. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more,

Contact: name: Mag. Markus Scheiber company/organisation: motasdesign e-mail: scheiber@motasdesign.com website: www.motasdesign.com

the overall guidance network (with very few exceptions, e.g. door signs) became a sign-free system. What was the effect? The solution, based as it is on large transparent map overlays, is perceived as an integral part of the architecture. Enhanced by the glass facade, the solution unleashes its own effect extending far beyond the limits of its function and the limits of the building. In addition, the viewer is enticed to encounter the overall theme itself, by being attracted to perceive the European sections and city landmarks. For maintenance purposes, standard terms such as WC, convention rooms, etc. were chosen in collaboration with the builders so that they could remain unchanged over the long term. New objectives can easily be added to the necessary walls. The system fulfils its core function: showing the way. But it goes beyond its utilitarian task and fulfils additional functions, creating new values by telling a story, linking the story to the character of the building, and becoming part of the exhibition.

Project:

Hartmann Hospital, Vienna

What was the challenge? The aim of motas is to connect the identity of a given site to the requirements of a wayfinding system. Our principle is: function takes precedence over visual experiment. Hartmann Hospital is a Catholic hospital in Vienna run by the Order of Franciscan Nuns, bearing the stamp of Christian love. For a long time it was plagued by a classic problem-syndrome: a forest of white signs, many lifts and staircases, a confusion of mezzanines (direct access from first floor of old building to second floor of new building), inconsistent and antiquated guidance system, puzzling descriptions, bewildered patients, complex wayfinding.

celebrate project completion including staff and sisters. The descriptive terms selected were tested for ease of comprehension. For each Franciscan personage, a symbol of his/her life was devised. The life story of each and the symbol for each are depicted in the entrance lobby, providing immediate clarification to all visitors. The identification of the correct lift and the path to it were the uppermost priority. As a font, Avenir was chosen, developed by Adrian Frutiger as humane grotesque font and highly suitable for wayfinding systems. The system utilises direct speech: “You are on the first floor of Francis.” All signs are defined by the golden mean, the divine proportions.

What was the solution? The solution created a framework which is both rational and emotional - satisfying on both levels. It establishes a mental map which also includes an emotional code. The cornerstone is linking up the values of the religious order to the functional imperatives of a wayfinding system. The system is built on Franciscan principles of simplicity and humanity. It is both visually perceptible and orally communicable. Its foundations lie in utilising the hospital’s intrinsic ressources: a rich history, the values of the religious order, a highly involved project team, backing of the management, a unified circulation system on all floors and well positioned lifts and staircases around which a zoning strategy containing 4 tracts can be designed. Employees and staff members were integrated into the project at an early stage, e.g. through joint selection of the four Franciscan personages after whom the 4 tracts were to be be named; and festivities to

What was the effect? After completion and in 2011, the new system was evaluated and discussed in depth by the staff. The result: orally dispensed directions were reduced from 16 to 4 descriptive terms. Staff members now actually enjoy giving directions. Positive patient feedback about the “beautiful wayfinding system” and the easy orientation in the hospital is heard ongoingly. Swift user identification with the new descriptive terms, e.g. from Station 2A to Station Restituta 2. After an introductory phase as brief as one week, the new terms were utilised by all the referring doctors. New staff members can get to know the hospital much more rapidly. The details of Sister Restituta’s life (editor’s note: a nun who was murdered in WWII, after whom a tract was named) are often inquired about, to the immense pleasure of the nuns. The atmosphere of the hospital, according to employees and patients, has markedly improved. The maintenance of the system is simple and inexpensive. The differentcoloured lifts, coupled with the dots on the floor, work perfectly. The management division has confirmed that all the targeted goals have been reached.

AK Vorarlberg, Signage

What was the challenge? The building of the Arbeiterkammer Vorarlberg (Federal Chamber of Labour) in Feldkirch – planned by Drecher & Kubina Architects consists of the matured stand and a four-storied new contruction. The parameter for the signage had been: building identification, blinds, codification of the elements, communication of the Arbeiterkammer’s service, waiting situations, content information and atmosphere. What was the solution? We designed glass-blinds with wording in content of the clients services, lawer-content and service devices. We also designed wallpaper-wording-typografie with stories about the history - designed on the whole wall - looks like a big book typografie. And we combined the sentense “Bildung geht mit der Beratung in die Bibliothek” ( education is going with the advice into the library) - that communicates in smart and charmy style, the content of the three service parts of the AK Vorarlberg. What was the effect? The straight form and content of the building and the institution became a casual charism and inform in a further level with our szenographic.

Signage System Trade Fair Stuttgart

What was the challenge? A multilingual hubbub, a colourful sound, a confusion of voices and concert of colours. The visitor’s mood is set – for the exhibition, for contact with countless colleagues, for new impressions and encounters. What was the solution? The signage system takes him by the hand and guides him to the right place so that he won’t get lost in the maelstrom. And to make the walk seem shorter, it’s entertaining: outside the visitor is greeted by a welcoming committee of flags, inside he is accompanied by rainbow-striped signs and big walls of colour. They provide a constant compass and companion, just in case he forgets for a moment where was it he wanted to go. What was the effect? The combination of colours and lettering creates a distinctive identity for the venue and the trade fair company. The chord of colours is like a pattern, like colourful wallpaper that makes the uptake of information both pleasant and easy. The use of paired shades brings the architecture to life, the colour coding of the various destinations works at subliminal level. The colourful stripes inside lead visitors to their destination: pink leads to the conference centre, blue to the exits, red to the exhibition halls.

Signage System Offenbach Hospital

What was the challenge? A visit to hospital is usually associated with less-than-positive feelings – unless, of course, it’s for some minor ailment or to greet a new-born baby. In all other cases the touch of warmth and sympathy provided by a signage system that presents its factual information in a welcoming way offers a little comfort in an otherwise cool and clinical space. What was the solution? An array of attractive geometrical coloured patterns guide visitors to their destination and lighten the mood of this sterile setting. Each of the numerous locations – over 70 of them spread across the hospital – has its own special combination of pattern and colour to set it apart. A signage system that relied entirely on colours or shapes wouldn’t have worked. And with so much information to communicate, a conventional list would have been too confusing. It’s only through the characteristic combination of colour and pattern that this large number of destinations can be clearly designated. What was the effect? Clearly comprehensible and unambiguous names have been selected for the various locations, avoiding any technical or in-house jargon. This simple and appealing system can be rapidly understood by anyone. In sum, it’s a small but important feel-good factor in an otherwise critical or unpleasant situation.

Asiada : Information and wayshowing system for the Asian Winter Games 2011 in Almaty (Kazakhstan)

What was the challenge? The cities of Astana and Almaty in Kazakhstan were selected to conduct the 7th Asian Winter Games in January and February 2011. Kazakhstan became the first country in the post Soviet Union territory to organize such games. Besides great investments on infrastructures, the government paid special attention to orientation and transportation of visitors to the events. The issue at that time was the lack of efficient city map, and the absence of street nameplates at every crossroad, making it difficult to find its way in the city. Attoma and its local partner Pocket Agency worked hand in hand with the Almaty authorities and the Asian games organization to create an Information and orientation system and to deploy a transportation service able to connect the center of the city with the different sport sites during the games.

What was the solution? Attoma and Pocket Agency created a global information and orientation system for the Almaty city. This system was created in 2 languages, Kazakh (the state language of Kazakhstan) and English, and addressed different types of users: foreign tourists, residents of Kazakhstan and Almaty citizens, whether they were pedestrians or car drivers. Visitors arriving to the airport or railway stations were given an orientation kit, containing a city map with the program of the

distributed in different places in the city such as hotels and info centers and were displayed at every bus station.

The main feature of the old city map was rather unusual: it presented mountains at the top of the map instead of the North (mountains being the main landmark for people from Almaty). Maps were also

For the Asian Winter Games 2011, Attoma also designed a signage system for pedestrians. It has been implemented on every crossroad of the city center (assembling was made in 1 night).

GOAL! MORE THAN ADEQUATE And for drivers, specific signage was designed to show the direction to the sport sites. During the games, sport sites inside or around the city were served by 60 shuttles on 6 different routes. Attoma and Pocket Agency designed the elements of this new transportation service : codification of the signs for this service (bus numbers, etc.), labelling on the vehicles and at the bus stops. Also, identification signs were created for each sport site to welcome visitors, as well as onsite directory boards showing the site map with main facilities to help visitors orient themsleves within the sport site. What was the effect? Asiada welcomed more that 10 000 people from 27 countries. Due to noticeable design and readable content, citizens and tourists paid attention to signage straight away.

The Big Sports Event atmosphere was created in the city. People were genuinely surprised by this new signage which made the traffic easy around the city. For the first time, the coherent pedestrian system was created for the city, with the pocket city map including bus and shuttle stops and using the same strong identity. It is remarkable that even after the Asiada games ended, people (including drivers) still continued using signage with gratitude. Thanks to this first project in Almaty, authorities have realized the importance of such information and orientation service for any city. At the moment, authorities are planning to create a comprehensive wayfinding navigation system for the city of Almaty.

Passenger information system for the TCL network (Lyon)

What was the challenge?

What was the solution?

TCL Network is the third larger public transportation network in France. It is managed and organized by SYTRAL (the public authority) and operated by Keolis Lyon (private transportation operator, branch of the SNCF).

From November 2010 to September 2011, a team of four people has worked on the new TCL user information system targeting meaning and readability of the signs, consistency of the system and accessibility. In addition, Attoma worked closely with SYTRAL and Keolis on specifying of the new TCL services and transportation lines.

For the last thirty years, the TCL network has evolved with superimposing new rolling stock and communication campaigns. The result is a complicated and inconsistent network where only metro and tramway modes are really readable. The TCL network has to adapt to the evolutions of urban area of Lyon and its European ambitions. In 2009, “Atoubus” project was launched. It widely reorganised the bus network to raise efficiency and to follow new economic development and citizens’ way of life. The implementation of the “Atoubus” project and its 26 BRT lines, as well as new metro and tramway extensions, imply a new multimodal travellers oriented information system. Furthermore, “Universal design” considerations are legal issues in France since 2005. In 2010, Attoma won the overhaul of TCL’s information system, especially signage and mapping. The main requirement for the project was “a network that speaks one single language, a network designed for all”.

Contact: name: Armand Teychené company/organisation: Attoma e-mail: armand.teychene@attoma-design.com website: www.attoma-design.com

Fully integrated to the transportation chain, travel information designed by Attoma is a strategic issue for TCL. It participates to a fluid travelling experience and to perceived quality of the service.

1 6 14 26 31 62 3 4 184 The information syntaxe used, and the linked rules, are the “building blocks” that travellers will find before, during and after their trip. Those elements apply on traditional static materials, especially the signage system and maps, but also on dynamic systems such as information screens or the TCL website. All those media give a clear information available both before travelling and during the trip. All elements created for the project, especially pictograms and readability rles (like size of the text, contrast, etc.) have been created following ISO guidelines. Attoma has developed with Patrick Paleta a specific font, “la TCL”, which is optimised for multisupport legibility and has a strong heritage identity.

All concepts and graphic vocabulary have been embedded in a single document. Principles and detailed specifications are presented in the simplest way. This allows declining this system on all static equipment or dynamic hardware, even if they are out of the project scope. Furthermore, numbers of specific items as the new TCL network map have been developed by the Attoma agency.

What was the effect? The design approach has brought a comprehensive and seamless traveling experience on the TCL network and in the city of Lyon. The consistency of the experience enhances the image of the city and its leading position in Europe. Like all meaningful work that facilitates the use of public transport, the project will indirectly reduce motorized personal mobility and minimize by 30% carbon emissions. This project illustrates also the importance of a long time investment on diagnosis, pedagogy and conception in order to link together designers with clients, policy makers and business world within the project.

Dubai Roads & Transport Authority

What was the challenge? New public transport infrastructure is central to the Dubai governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategic plan to improve the urban environment through less reliance on private vehicles. Dubai Metro, the first passenger railway in the Gulf, opened in 2009 and enhanced marine passenger services followed in 2010. The design challenge was to establish a dual language wayfinding and signing system intuitive to navigate by locals and international visitors alike, especially first time metro users. What was the solution? The project involved public signing and the detailed elements for directional, name, location and statutory signs. Having initially worked on Dubai Metro, TDC went on to develop an integrated signing system for marine services, trams and street signs. A bespoke dual language typeface (designed by Dalton Maag) and matching pictograms ensure clarity and consistency across all signage applications. What was the effect? The signing system has an international look and feel that reflects modern Dubai while respectfully taking into account traditions of Arabic culture. The signs with their distinctive graphics have been instrumental in ensuring a seamless adoption of metro and marine travel by people in Dubai and are a key component of the networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visual identity. For the future, an integrated approach to signing and passenger information will be important to people travelling on an increasingly complex public transport network.

The concept for the Bath City Information System forms a central part of the Bath Public Realm and Movement Strategy (PRMS). The strategy puts forward a bold, long-term plan that gives

Contact: name: Angus Tilbury company/organisation: fwdesign e-mail: angus@fwdesign.com website: fwdesign.com

pedestrians, cyclists and public transport vehicles priority over cars, and delivers a network of beautiful, refashioned streets and public spaces. The aim of the PRMS is to encourage more vibrant and diverse public life within the streets, spaces, parks and gardens of the city centre and along its riverside, helping to make the city a more active, inclusive and engaging place. The Transport component of the system aimed to reveal the network of transport options in an easy-to-understand way to residents and visitors. It was recognised that by increasing knowledge and understanding of the network and the relationship between different modes, patronage would be improved.

The illustrative pedestrian mapping is complemented with a diagrammatic transport mapping system, consisting of corridor diagrams and a transport network diagram. They successfully merge the pedestrian and transport experience, making it a seamless journey for the user. Congestion at key stations is eased by encouraging movement between transport hubs and delivering whole journey times. All transport information is contained in a singular integrated on-street product. The Network Diagram provides a composite network of routes for Bath and the surrounding area. Key landmarks and pedestrian routes between transport hubs are identified to make the transport system more legible. The overlap of these elements seamlessly integrates the public transport and pedestrian wayfinding systems. Bus flags followed TSRGD guidelines and regulations for information provision. Bespoke pictograms communicated bus type including Tour Bus, Park & Ride as well as regular bus services.

TICKET PLEASE SHORTLISTED Individual bus routes are displayed as Corridor Diagrams. Whilst linear in their representation, they reflect true geographic relationship between routes. Following user research, this was identified as an important aspect for understanding and acceptance by locals.

The process confirmed the overriding success of the system. The approach was seen as highly intuitive and described as “wholly innovative” and “the first of it’s kind”.

Dr Steve Cassidy states: ”I have looked at many public transport maps in many cities and to me the Bath reconfiguration really is top rate.”

Corridor Diagram

Timetabling

Timetable information was interrogated and simplified by displaying times between services rather than each arrival time. This reduction of content makes information easier to interpret and allows for an increased text size (key to on-street feedback of the existing system). Additional products and maps were designed for use at Bristol Airport, Park & Ride sites and cycle stations, all with specific content relevant to their function and user type. Each of the family of transport maps were modified for online applications, with additional map types being developed for transport options further afield.

What was the effect? The on-street pilot scheme was installed in March 2011. The on-street products underwent rigorous testing process which involved reviews of users on-street as well as an intensive stakeholder feedback exercise. The evaluation process included interviewing members of the public to measure and assess the systems’ success across a range of criteria. Criteria included usability, functionality, appropriateness of design and improved user experience. Network Diagram

The previous passenger information system was poorly implemented and outdated, due to frequent changes in the transport services. The Graphic Standards Manual, official document that regulates the passenger information system, was also updated to assist the authorities in charge of implementing and managing the transport system in the production process of signs and other information elements. Santiago’s new public transport system,

Project:

Evaluation and Redesign of Passenger Information for Santiago’s Public Transport System

Transantiago, was launched overnight February 10, 2007, and it has meant a radical cultural change for users due to the introduction of new transport infrastructure, bus routes and types of transport services (a grid of trunk and local routes replaced an unorganized array of long routes across the city), payment methods (a pre-paid card replaced cash) and a new passenger information system. Before this Project, there wasn’t any formal study to determine the way passengers actually used the transport system and the information they needed to get from one point of the city to another. Doing research about how public transport users search for information and use the transport system, was also part of the challenge.

What was the solution? During the first part of the Project, the aim was to understand how passengers actually used the transport system and passenger information. One of the main problems detected was the distrust of Santiago’s citizens of using signs and printed information. Due to cultural factors, most people in Santiago prefer to ask someone for directions rather than reading a sign, but this practice was aggravated by the fact that the public transport information signs were mostly outdated. The study’s results prompted the creation of a new passenger information system and an update of the Graphic Standards Manual so it could be easily implemented and updated by the transport system authorities. The

after

solution involved the design of graphic information for the different instances of the trip (before, during and after the trip), such as new bus stop signs, and bus routes and metro lines maps. Another important part of the solution was the design of templates that could later be compatible with a data-merge process, in order to speed up the production process. The study also included a report that accounts for the major research findings and guidelines to manage and keep the new system up to date. What was the effect? The update of Santiago’s public transport passenger information generated a consistent and coherent system allowing users to navigate in a more efficient and confident

way throughout the city. The optimization of the production process noticeably reduced the time and errors in the design and implementation of the different information elements. As an example, before the Project, the transport authority was able to produce 100 bus stop signs in a day; now they produce 1500 signs in 10 minutes. This drastic reduction in production time allows the transport authority and responsible entities to maintain information up to date and relevant, resulting in a more reliable system for users.

Project:

Moreton Bay Cycleway Wayfinding System

What was the challenge?

What was the solution?

The 150 kilometre long Moreton Bay Cycleway (MBC) is the longest planned cycle route on Australia’s east coast running across four local government areas from Bribie Island in the North to Redland Bay in the South. The MBC project is planned to roll out over a 5 year program linking and upgrading existing paths with new paths.

We have developed a simple ‘Kit of Signs’ that can be applied as specific sections of the MBC are completed. The signs strength is in their use of a simple identifier, use of colour in the landscape as well as detailed information tailored to meet the needs of the cyclists.

The MBC will not only assist regular cyclists and commuters, it will also be part of a wider tourism campaign for Moreton Bay promoting greater recreation such as cycling trips to nearby islands. Our brief was to develop a simple, cost effective sign system that could be rolled out over time. The signage system was intended to clearly identify the cycleway and then provide information and advice for cyclists travelling on the cycleway. The signage would give all visitors a sense of confidence when travelling and assist with public safety and security.

Contact: name: Mark Ross company/organisation: Dot Dash e-mail: heath@dotdash.com.au website: www.dotdash.com.au

Also, traditionally, signs for cyclists may carry information that is high for their riding position forcing the cyclist to look up. The positions of the new signs provide safe and user-friendly viewing planes for cyclists in motion. The ‘MBC’ identifier incorporates an international bicyclist pictogram and is intended for quick recognition used in different ways in different environments. The family of wayfinding signs introduces a distinct colour palette into the landscape. The green identifier graphics are contrasted with orange place identification names. Sign types include major information signs, distance markers, and various directional signs including on-road route markers.

Both micro and macro mapping are used to allow the cyclist to both plan their journeys as well as know which services are located in their immediate vicinities such as public facilities, police and local tourism opportunities. Distance marker signs are also used to assist cyclists in monitoring their progress on their journeys. The sign construction is intended to be simple and cost effective as different manufacturers may produce the signage over time. Given the bay side location, stainless steel posts and fixings are used to minimise corrosion. What was the effect? The cycleway symbolises an important linkage across many different environments where all parties can benefit by providing greater public access and use of Moreton Bay’s many recreational sites. The sign system has been embraced by the four Councils (literally).

What was the solution? Text on signs is reinforced by bold pictograms for clarity of communication. Directional signs tell a story in graphics without necessarily having to rely on text to assist passengers reach their destination. The sequence for graphics on signs begins with a directional arrow followed by pictograms showing the service or facility a passenger may be aiming for (such as a train or toilet) and how to get there, for example by lift or escalator, with text in Kannada and English confirming the message. The scheme’s colour palette has local cultural references to aid familiarity.

The consistent approach to station signing throughout the network should reassure people using the service for the first time that Bangalore Metro is passenger friendly and easy to navigate. The new metro should also help reinforce Bangalore’s reputation as India’s leading technology hub. The project was undertaken in collaboration with local partners Tata Elxsi, the design arm of the Tata Group.

Project:

Marconi Express Branding and Wayfinding

What was the challenge? ‘Marconi Express’ is a high-frequency shuttle service connecting Bologna Central rail station with Bologna Marconi Airport. The main infrastructure is a driverless suspended monorail. The main users are expected to be international travellers going to and from the airport to Bologna and to the wider region through a new high speed rail hub. The terminal stations are integrated within the airport and in the rail station terminal. Branding and signage had to be distinctive, recognisable and immediate. What was the solution? The visual identity, delivered with support of the local studio ‘Kitchen’, reflects the system’s distinctive architectural design to communicate a contemporary and sustainable service. The result is a very individual graphical language - carried through all user touchpoints, and a wayfinding system based exclusively on pictograms. Particular care was put into creating a clear and logic structure for the information to be provided, achieved by definining an information hierarchy of messages targeted to inbound and outbound passengers - allowing for streamlined directional information. What was the effect? The wayfinding system extends the visual identity through the use pictograms, and a product family consistent with the architectural language and the environment. Extensive use of environmental graphics avoids physical clutter, ensures clear sightlines and makes navigation to/from and within station environments simple and intuitive.

AERO Pictograms Designed to emphasise the very individual character of the service. They are the primary means of wayfinding provision - making the information immediately understandable beyond any language or cultural barrier.

Wayfinding A coordinated family of signing structures that blend seamlessly with station environments, integrating information elements with other functions. The environmental graphics are used to reinforce directional information: ‘active’ infrastructure (lift shafts, escalators, opening doors) are highlighted through the use of the lime green colour, while supergraphics provide destination signifiers.

Grove is the latest addition to Middlesex University’s Hendon campus. The building will host many of the activities currently housed at Cat Hill, while also acting as a new high-quality space for the entire University community. It is formed of three distinct units, with each unit comprising a mixture of teaching rooms and facilities. There are spaces available for exhibitions and installations - some of which may be open to the public. The building also hosts a cafe and a food outlet. Each unit can be accessed directly from external campus areas and also from the other units via stairs and walkways on the ground and first floors. As a campus destination, it will follow the Hendon Campus wayfinding strategy convention and be identified by its head letter “G”.

Dundee Travel Info

What was the challenge? Refresh and invigorate Dundee’s award winning Dundee Travel Info website by introducing a new look and feel, a revised information architecture, customisable and personalised information and a re-designed multi-modal journey planner. The main challenge was to provide the same excellent level of information service and improve on the existing usability and functionality. What was the solution? Using visitor data from Google Analytics we established the most popular site functions. These included bus real time information, journey planning and the interactive map. Through a workshop approach we developed a ‘customisable’ homepage concept that would allow users to choose what information they wanted on the homepage. This allows users to access key functions via moveable and collapsible ‘blocks’ which also provide links to other information. Any blocks that are not required by the user can be shifted or removed from the homepage altogether. A fixed block allows the client to provide news updates and promote initiatives. A further layer of ‘personalisation’ allows users to quickly access information for frequently used bus stops, rail stations and address data. What was the effect? User traffic to the Dundee Travel Info website increased by 57%. The website saw a rise in repeat visitors – over 60% of visitors will return. 500 users registered with the site to enable personalisation and receive newsletter updates on bus timetable changes. 10% of all traffic is now via the mobile app. During the winter of 2010 the website became a focal point for transport information. On one day of particularly poor weather the website received 7,000 visitors.

Social Mobility in Mexico. Graphs for different levels of understanding

What was the challenge? To help users understand intergenerational social mobility data related to education to promote self-consciousness and motivate change. The project offers relevant data to people from different levels of understanding: from policy-makers and specialised professionals to people who can hardly read. What was the solution? Seven interactive graphics with three different perspectives: 1. The data as it is... 2. How do I [user] identify with this data...? 3. The meaning of data... The graphs are placed on the website and will be part of an itinerant exhibit. The graphs’ headings are written in plain language and specialised terms —in the subheading—, they contain: images from the levels or situations depicted, short text descriptions and sound for those who do not want or can not read. In each graph the users could find out their own particular situation and that of their parents’. What was the effect? Low and high income level people were shocked by the situations depicted: Low income level people felt identified and concerned with images and issues. Policy-makers and specialised professionales faced images and not only abstract numbers and lines which made them react to the present situation. People suggested to show these graphs to Primary and Secondary school children, teachers and parents so they become aware of the importance of education.

TLEX Online Library

What was the challenge? Within the US there are over 270 federally recognized Indian tribes that have created individual formal tribal justice systems. These tribal courts exercise jurisdiction and are developing bodies of indigenous law spanning a number of substantive legal contexts. Access to the legal materials of individual tribal courts is varied, and in many cases, difficult. For example, court decisions might be archived, in hard copy, in a tribal court office. The challenge was to enhance access to legal materials of American Indian tribal justice systems.

What was the solution? The Tribal Law Exchange Online Library, TLEX, was developed through a grant from the National Science Foundation. TLEX is a repository created for the dissemination of legal materials of American Indian tribal justice systems for the purpose of research and to assist in the practice of law in Indian country. The concept of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;exchangeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was incorporated to communicate the idea that participation in the TLEX system is mutually beneficial. By entering into an agreement, materials are archived on the TLEX system. Since its formal inauguration, TLEX has become the only truly free, non-fee based website providing access to tribal court opinions.

What was the effect? More comprehensive legal research can be conducted. Law practitioners in Indian country can access case law from participating tribal courts. Participating tribal justice systems have a searchable digital archive of their legal materials. Self-governance of individual nations is reasserted as awareness of legal pluralism in the United States is raised.

A Semantic Landscape of the Last.fm Music Folksonomy

What was the challenge? The challenge for this design was to visualize what the world of music looks like according to tags on Last.fm. How can we use the musical annotations of casual listeners and diehard fans alike from the social radio website last to represent this world? How can the resulting model--over a domain as broad and deep as music--be realized clearly and completely as a map that is easy to read and explore? Last.fm is an Internet radio site where users discover new music based on their listening history. They can annotate musical items such as artists and songs with arbitrary tags, ranging from “rock” or “jazz” to “seen live” or “songs I absolutely love”.t What was the solution? Our analysis used the self-organized map method, an unsupervised neural network training algorithm that generates a model where similarity is realized as proximity. Proximity inspired a geographic metaphor, and we painted the model as a “landscape” of music using cartographic tools. What was the effect? The result is an unfamiliar landscape of a familiar place. Listeners from every corner of this shared musical geography can explore the borders of their own stomping grounds or see how history, culture, and technology have shaped the ever-expanding world of music.

A self-organizing map (SOM) is a form of artificial neural network that generates a low-dimensional geometric model from high-dimensional data. It transforms nearness in the input space to nearness in the map space. The map is a landscape made up of a grid of small neurons, each having some level of association with each of the tags in the tag space. The map is randomly seeded and then trained on a collection of data by repeatedly (1) finding the most similar neuron for a piece of training data and (2) pulling each neuron’s tag associations closer to the matched piece of training data. Early in the training, the pull extends across most of the map. By the end, it affects only a tiny range around the most similar neuron.

Self-Organizing Maps

The original data set, collected during the first half of 2009, was sampled by removing all but the 1,000 most frequently used tags (out of 281,818 total), then discarding items not annotated with one of those tags. This reduces the number of items from 1,393,559 to 1,088,761. After sampling, the average item has 6.8 tags (3.8 unique tags). The top ten tags include: rock, electronic, seen live, indie, alternative, pop, female vocalists, jazz, classic rock, experimental.

Last.fm is an Internet radio site where users discover new music based on their listening history. They can annotate musical items such as artists and songs with arbitrary tags, ranging from “rock” or “jazz” to “seen live” or “songs I absolutely love”.

Note that tags can appear in multiple locations, especially if they have strong associations with multiple terms that are not themselves strongly associated. For instance, “alternative” shows up as a second-level region within “seen live”, but also exists as a top-level region elsewhere on the map.

The size and shape of each tag roughly reflects the extent of its region. The actual size and shape are somewhat flexible to guard against label overlap.

Dark blue tags identify regions defined by the secondstrongest association of each neuron, and so on, as shown in the legend below.

Dark brown borders separate regions defined by each neuron’s single strongest tag association; those regions are marked with black tags.

Regions on the landscape are labeled by the tags with which their constituent neurons associate most strongly.

Markets for Good: Giving Ecosystem Visual Models

What was the challenge? How might we explain the existing landscape of philanthropy today and the future landscape of tomorrow? The philanthropy landscape is large with lots of inherent challenges, and has never before been visualized. This changemaking project helps inform what it now is and might in the future become. What was the solution? Humantific UnderstandingLab created a series of visual sensemaking diagrams working with multiple constituents including The Gates Foundation, Hewlett Foundation, Liquidnet For Good, etc. The final results represent a synthesis of multiple views which were used to inform future cocreation sessions that were focused on building the future system as shown in the visual models. What was the effect? The models created a unifying effect among all constituents. The effect of making these visual models was the collection of multiple perspectives into one shared view, which was then taken on the road and shared with many others in order to stimulate broader participation. In each futuring session, the models were used to inform discussion regarding who might build and/or contribute what aspect of the future model. These sensemaking acceleration models are being shared at many social changemaking conferences around the world.

Emergency / Safety User interface for Thales Hypervisor, a surveillance application. A new generation of intelligent and modular supervision systems.

What was the challenge? Thales is a world leader in mission-critical information systems for defence and security, aerospace and transportation. Since 5 years Attoma helps Thales to develop the Human Machine interface of the Hypervisor solution, concieved for supervision of complex infrastructures. The Hypervisor solution permits to real time manage aspects related to security or operations, and is particularly adapted to complex infrastructures like big cities, transportation systems, urban and rail networks, airports, industrial or military facilities. The HMI aggregates thousands of data and supervision operators spend up to six hours straight staring at luminous screens, shifting their attention among various intercom, phone and radio systems while keeping an eye on CCTV monitors. Sometimes interfaces span several screens and a single mouse-drag cannot cover the entire distance. Consequently, supplementary mouses and keyboards are sometimes implemented. Such elaborate arrangements only exacerbate an already complex use situation that is characterized by a high degree of stress, profuse sensory input and a heavy cognitive load. The challenge of designing the Hypervisor user interface, was to present a great amount of data in a unified and consistent way and to provide the operators with an advanced and powerful decision support system.

Contact: name: ATTOMA | Marine Rouit company/organisation: Attoma & Thales e-mail: marine.rouit@attoma-design.com website: www.attoma-design.com

What was the solution? Our objective has been to provide a definitive and integrated system that could be used in very various fields (transportation, cities, oil & gas...). To do so, a particular attention has been devoted to information design and graphical taxonomy. The user interface relies on very simple design principles that permit to ensure consistency and reduce cognitive load. It efficiently provides a single, structured interface for hypervision tasks. The interface was concieved to be distributed both on two screens or on one single screen. With two screens, default hierarchy follows western reading standards : from left to right. Screen One is broadly considered the « decision screen » while Screen Two is the « action screen. ».

Screen One displays a broad overview and mainly serves the purpose of a dashboard composed of five boxes or panes: Navigation; Location; Alarm Diagram; Alarms; Emergency Calls. Each of these boxes or panes displays a specific « view » of a portion of the system and designed for a specific purpose in user activity. The main objective was to minimize redundancy and superfluous information while enhancing complementarity. Screen Two is the command and control screen. It is dedicated to the presentation of a synoptic view of an area or sub-levels of a system for an operator to take action on the devices it contains. Screen Two is the operator’s main screen, as it can also contain business-specific interfaces designed to be included within the Hypervisor’s interface.

SHORTLISTED

To reduce cognitive friction, the interface is based on a dark background and is mostly composed of gray objects. Color is used sparingly in order to avoid superfluous visual signals. Besides using varying shades of gray, the GUI employs two main functional colors: yellow (used to signify a prompt or an alarm) and light blue (used to signify when an object is « active », i.e. currently subject to the command and control of the user). The choice of these two colors successfully fulfills the criteria of accessibility, since their significance is mainly conveyed through a variation of light energy and not of hue. Indeed, even if the GUI is degraded to display only in shades of gray, prompts

and active objects remain visible and clearly distinguished from background information. In the GUI, functional objects are characterized by their material, tangible attributes, especially through the use of shade variations to simulate the effects of light and shadow on a physical surface. Beyond simple variations in light intensity and color, this type of rendering can be used to further enrich the perception of depth. Thus, functional objects appear to take on physical qualities like weight and volume. These qualities distinguish them from uniform areas of shade or color, which appear « flat » in comparison.

What was the effect? The design of the Hypervisor user interface was a cornerstone of the Hypervisor solution . It permited to Thales to build a structured vision of the supervision activity. This vision, materialized by the interface, is a strategic issue for this company specialized in complex information systems. The hypervisor interface is now used by Thales when implementing new surveillance systems for cities, military or industral facilities, transportation networks, but its framework is also used for cybersecurity applications or cloud computing systems management.

Website Leitz | www.leitz-wein.de

What was the challenge? The superb RĂźdesheim wines of the Josef Leitz Vineyard, which has borne the name of its founder for 250 years, are coveted worldwide. Since 2000 Fuenfwerken has been responsible for all aspects of design for the vineyard. Fuenfwerken has now conceived, developed, designed and programmed the website for Johannes Leitz who was proclaimed vintner of the year 2011 by the Gault Millau WeinGuide. What was the solution? The website itself is restricted to one page. In keeping with Leitz corporate design it encourages you to browse in a simple and elegant way, without having to leave the homepage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the top section provides an overview of the content and as well as classic scrolling and the unobtrusive dropdown menu it enables navigation via neatly arranged teaser boxes, which take you smoothly across the page to your objective when clicked What was the effect? With its new website Leitz the traditional winegrower represents not only its international achievements at the highest level in technical and design terms but also its long-established taste and world class when it comes to wine. The new website won several international designawards, some in gold. More details: http:// www.fuenfwerken.com/index. php?inhalt=interaktiv_projekte_ detail&id=2477&sprache=en

Project:

What was the challenge? The main challenge of the project was to generate a recognizable identity for the National Tourist Information Offices, adjusting them to visitor’s needs and expectations. Up to this point, the different information offices that exist throughout the country did not have a clear and unifying identity that was easily recognized as an official tourism information point. On another hand, before the redesign took place, the office’s staff sat behind their workstation and waited for tourists to approach them and take a seat across the desk. According to the initial

research, the experience did not reflect on key aspects of tourism and travelling, like the need to “discover” and be “surprised”. Visitors could not make a good use of waiting times since there was no information available for them to browse meanwhile they were attended. Another part of the challenge was that most of these offices once a year received large amounts of brochures and graphic material. Most of the offices had very little storage space so in most cases they were cluttered with boxes and improvised storage bins.

Corporate Identity Design Guidelines for the National Tourist Information Offices

What was the solution? The solution consisted on turning the different elements in the office in supports for travel information. The furniture and graphic design for the new office allows visitors to find information according to their needs and interest, either by themselves or seeking help from the informers. The main information elements that were designed as part of the project are giant wall maps that represent the country, the greater region where the office is located and a city map. A new central table is printed with curious facts about Chile and its

main tourism destinations. Every furniture element designed for the office also serves as storage points for printed material, reducing the clutter and problems identified in the diagnose stage of the project. Another part of the solution was the development of a graphic standards manual for printed information that regulates brochures and maps provided by the National Tourism Service. The new brochures are exhibited in the office, reinforcing the office’s graphic identity.

What was the effect? The main effect of the redesign of the tourist information offices is the complete renewal of the way the service is provided. The new design allows the staff to move around the office and to approach visitors. The information delivery is dynamic and horizontal, since most of the process occurs as the informer shows the tourist the different travel and tourism options on the wall maps. Only at the end of the experience, the informer leads the tourist back to his workstation to hand out the different brochures and printed information he requires.

Corporate Design and Communications Printed Side-Tables What was the effect?

What was the challenge? Just as you said: “helping companies/ business to fully and completely express themselves and what they have to offer“ What was the solution? A very easy to handle spontaneously usable little object, that allows as a side effect to transport different messages. It does’nt fight for attention, it rather surprises the user, in a rather playful way. Logos and good graphic design for names, and other icons are very useful. But there is more, that can be done meanwhile. Since we can individualize clothing and other objects, I propose to do the same with a small furniture with a printed surface, a side-table that a client of a company or business finds - next to an arm chair in the entrance hall of a company, while waiting, - in the conference rooms, for the glasses and the water - next to a lounge chair in the Lobby of his Hotel where he puts his newspaper and the espresso - at the side of his bed in his Hotel room, for the lamp, the alarm clock and his book - in a doctors cabinet, in the waiting area, fort he magazines - in a store... where ever the small side-tables can serve as a practical, functional furniture but at the same time carry a message, that reminds the client of the place where he finds himself at that moment, and of the specific qualities of that place, by the decorative print on the surface of the table.

100

The printed side-table – designed by Angela Wiegand – is cut out of a molding panel for concrete. (plywood boards, finnish birch, with a perfect surface) by a computer-controlled (CNC) milling machine. It’s practically only one cut: an ellipse taken out of a rectangular board. What’s left gets the sharp edges cut off and is broken up into two symmetric pieces : the legs. There is very little loss of material. Cept 1 is custom-made in a carpenter’s workshop, on demand. Set up in seconds – without screws or tools, the sidetable can be taken apart and stowed away again just as quickly. The small table is 50 cm high, the oval tabletop 75.5 cm by 44.5 cm by 1.5 cm. The cutting edges are showing the natural color stripes of the plywood layers. They are treated with oil. Almost everything that can be digitised, can be printed on the tables. A painting, drawing, a poem, graffiti, photos... What ever the client feels can represent his place or corporation or even interpret it in a more abstract way, reflecting the idea of the place. There are almost no limits, and there is a chance to allow a truly artistic attempt for establishing print-motives. This way art and (furniture-) design get fused in a truly individual object.

Unique pieces with the option for reproduction: The printed tables can be produced as single pieces or small series. options fort he client: 1. The customer has a choice of existing patterns that we developed in cooperation with artists. For example with an online gallery which focuses on the art of handicaped artists. 2. We create a new motiv specially for the customer, according to his wishes. He sends us his logo, text, foto, drawing etc. We prepare his data for printing and have the printing done in full service. This way the companies and business are offered a new and almost unlimited option for a different and surprising communication of what their specialities are. They purchase a piece of art, and a functional furniture at the same time.

Drawing on the table by Joseph Wong published with his friendly permission

This submitted table is printed with a motive for Jean Paul Gaultier, a drawing by Joseph Wong (old Master Q). It is exemplary for the above mentioned solution.

Morgenstelle Cafeteria, Tübingen University

What was the challenge? The Morgenstelle Student Cafeteria is a plain, functional 1960s building. Following its renovation, the owners and users wanted a new interior design to create a friendly atmosphere for the space and the people in it. What was the solution? “hin und wieder aber dennoch” (now and then but nonetheless) Large-scale, luminous words accompany the students at Tübingen University not – as we might expect – while they are studying but while they are eating. Suspended from the ceiling in the cafeteria where the food is served, the words and their possible meanings add an element of interest and diversion to the time spent in this functional space. They are a playful adaptation of words by the philosopher Hannes Böhringer selected specifically for this location. Light sequences of different colours create an ever-changing atmosphere, bringing the whole cafeteria to life. What was the effect? Words, colours, image and time constantly re-define the sensory experience of the space, so that its functionality fades into the background.

In den Reifen schlummern tatsächlich große Einsparpotenziale. Inzwischen ist von „Grünen Reifen“ die

Hier hat der Rollwiderstand einen deutlich höheren Anteil am Gesamtenergieverbrauch (33 % beim Elektroantrieb gegenüber 20 % beim Verbrennungsmotor). Aber auch für das Rollgeräusch gilt, dass die „Grünen Reifen“ dieses erheblich reduzieren können, denn auch Lärm durch Straßenverkehr stellt eine erhebliche Umweltbelastung dar.

Der Begriff Kautschuk hat seinen Ursprung bei den Azteken und Mayas: „Ka-houtschou“ heißt übersetzt „Stamm der Tränen“.

Der Treibstoff wird vom Motor in Antriebsenergie umgewandelt, die zur Überwindung des Fahrwiderstandes benötigt wird. Auf das Konto der Reifen entfallen dabei durchschnittlich 20 bis 30 Prozent. Das heißt, rund jedes Viertel einer Tankfüllung wird automatisch für den Rollwiderstand ge-

opfert. Es lohnt sich also, hier auf spritsparende „Grüne Reifen“ zu setzen, um den Gesamtverbrauch zu senken. Wie sich der Rollwiderstand verbessert, zeigt der Vergleich, wenn man ein Auto mit Standardreifen oder mit „Grünen Reifen“ bestückt und ohne Antrieb von einer Rampe rollen lässt.

Erst im Jahr 1763 entdeckten die ersten Europäer die Vorteile des Kautschuks und nutzten den Stoff für Schläuche und Schuhe.

Ab November 2012 werden alle Autoreifen beim Kauf mit einem Label versehen, das die Qualitätseinstufung anhand der Merkmale Nasshaftung, Treibstoffeffizienz und Geräuschemission zeigt. Das Label ist ähnlich der Energieeinstufung von Kühlschränken oder Waschmaschinen.

Rollwiderstand und Kraftstoffeffizienz

What was the effect? The infographic was published in some of Germany’s most important newspapers (Handelsblatt, FAZ) and other magazines. Lanxess’s global advertising campaign was partly substituted with ixtract’s Green Tires infographic, because of its great payoff.

1. SICHERER GRIP ÜBERALL

Besonders im Gebirge, wo die Reifenverformung auf kurvigen Straßen sehr stark ist, machen sich energieeffiziente „Grüne Reifen“ bezahlt. Aus Hochleistungskautschuken von LANXESS hergestellte Reifen weisen einen deutlich geringeren Rollwiderstand auf und sparen dadurch Kraftstoff. Außerdem sind sie langlebiger und verfügen über hervorragende Haftungseigenschaften.

EU-LABEL: JE GRÜNER, DESTO BESSER

Der Begriff Kautschuk hat seinen Ursprung bei den Azteken und Mayas: „Ka-houtschou“ heißt übersetzt „Stamm der Tränen“.

4. BESSER BREMSEN Erst im Jahr 1763 entdeckten die ersten Europäer die Vorteile des Kautschuks und nutzten den Stoff für Schläuche und Schuhe.

1909 gelang es Friedrich Hofmann, Chemiker bei den „Farbenfabriken vormals Friedr. Bayer & Co.“, deren Erbe heute von LANXESS fortgeführt wird, Kautschuk synthetisch herzustellen.

Diese Menge entspricht dem Emissionsvolumen des aktuellen Verkehrsaufkommens der drei größten deutschen Städte Berlin, Hamburg und München. Um diese Menge zu neutralisieren, müsste man eine Fläche von ca. 12.000 km2 mit Bäumen bepflanzen.

Anlass sind die ehrgeizigen Ziele der EU, CO2-Emissionen zu reduzieren, die sich wohl nur erfüllen lassen, wenn auch Autos weniger Treibstoff verbrauchen und damit weniger CO2 ausstoßen.

Kraftstoff sparen lässt. Das Geheimnis liegt im reduzierten Rollwiderstand. Dasselbe gilt für das Rollgeräusch, denn auch Lärm durch Straßenverkehr stellt eine Umweltbelastung dar, die sich um ein gutes Stück reduzieren lässt. Ein weiterer Aspekt, der die EU-Kommissare zum neuen Reifenlabel bewogen hat, ist das Thema Sicherheit. Besonders die Beschaffenheit der Pneus in Bezug auf die Nasshaftung lässt sich nun einfach über farbige Abstufungen von grün nach rot bzw. die Klassen A bis G ablesen.

User Manual Package for a Gaggenau Fully Automatic Espresso Machine

What was the challenge? Gaggenau needed a user manual for their new line of fully integrated espresso machines. The following points were required: – a 40 page booklet per language. In total 18 languages, including central and eastern european languages plus, arabic and chinese were transcribed. – a Quick Reference Guide – Instruction text accompanied with graphic examples. – Installation instructions with graphics in required languages – description of the special water filter – description of the special milk container A fully automatic espresso machine for domestic use is as complex as their professional counterpart found in the hospitality industry. Because of this, a detailed description of all functions and capabilities of the machine is needed. What was the solution? Our major aim was to design a clear and easy to follow user manual. – ISO 216 size A4 portrait format (210mm x 297mm) – 2-column layout – graphics of the hardware – text in the corporate font of Gaggenau – symbols which appear in the display screen and on the appliance interface were specially converted into a new font we created for use as a regular type in explaining relevant symbols and their function both in text and graphics, in all languages. The main user manual is formatted as follows:

1. Front page 2. Table of Contents 3. Safety instructions 4. Standard equipment with all parts 5. Assembly and components 6. Display and controls 7. Accessories 8. Starting the machine 9. Switching on/off and hibernate mode 10. Loading water and coffee beans 11. Preparing drinks

Orientation & Identity

What was the challenge? In the beginning of this self-initiated project was the question how to impart design projects in a completely new way. What’s really of interest for designers and their clients? The aim was to convey a look behind the scenes and project backgrounds, the motifs and motivations of all parties involved in the realms of orientation. What was the solution? The special field of orientation and corporate architecture was examined by the example of 16 international projects. Instead of using slick representative image pictures, the projects and their players were photographed individually to accompany interviews with the project teams. Therefore, the book transports a very personal view on multifarious projects from all areas: from semi-public to public, from state-owned to privately owned, cultural and commercial, temporary and permanent – all projects form up to convey a variegated overall picture. A widespread glossary makes this publication a true reference book collecting dates, complexity and characteristics of the projects.

Final Book published internationally at Springer Wien NewYork

Content structure of the book

What was the effect? Today, the book is considered to be a standard work in the realms of orientation, which provides a different view on this multi-faceted field. Designers, as well as real estate developers and other contractees, educators, city planners and politicians are reading the publication: Therefore the book managed to achieve its goal – not to depict design for designer only, but to entrench it within a broader social context.

Proteins

are molecules made of amino acids joined in a particular sequence. If these amino acids are arranged in the wrong order, the protein will not function. The sequence of amino acids is coded by a sequence of organic bases in DNA molecules in the nucleus. Each amino acid is coded by a sequence of three bases called a codon (see top diagram). So MET codes for methionine, ACC codes for tryptophan. Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a copy of the codons on the DNA. The mRNA molecule can pass out of the nucleus to the ribosomes on the endoplasmic reticulum.

Messenger RNA translation mRNA translation in the cytoplasm

the ribosome the mRNA acts as a template for other RNA molecules to attach to. These molecules are the transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules that carry amino acids needed for protein synthesis. A tRNA molecule with an anticodon that fits the next available space on the mRNA molecule slots into position. Its amino acid is held in the correct position for enzymes to join it to a growing chain of amino acids formed at the other end of the tRNA molecule. Once the amino acid is joined on, it is released from the tRNA, which detaches from the mRNA. The tRNA can be reused when it has had the correct amino acid reattached from the pool in the cell.

have highly segmented bodies, although in some of the more advanced species the segments have fused together into larger blocks. The overall body plan follows standard arthropod structure with head, thorax, and abdomen, although the head and thorax are fused into a region called the cephalothorax. The head is well supplied with sense organs, including two pairs of antennae. In many crayfish and lobster species, a pair of front legs has been highly modified into pincers (chelipeds). The marine crustaceans like lobsters and crayfish grow in size by molting their exoskeleton, growing rapidly, and then reforming a tough exoskeleton. This can occur a number of times during an animal’s life. The molting and redevelopment of the exoskeleton imposes a significant cost on the animal in terms of calcium, and this is recovered from the old exoskeleton before it is shed. Crustaceans can lay eggs containing either larvae (small shrimps, lobsters, and crabs) or fully formed, but small, adult forms (crayfish).

and neap tides are generated by the gravitational attraction of the Sun adding to, or counteracting the effect of, the Moon’s gravitational attraction. When the Sun and Moon are aligned, their gravitational attractions are added and create a higher-than-normal high tide and a correspondingly lowerthan-normal low tide. Such large-range tides are spring tides. These occur at the full Moon and the new Moon. When the Sun and Moon are at right angles (90 degrees) relative to Earth, their gravitational attractions have opposing effects.

good theory of solar-system formation has to explain certain facts observed in our own solar system:  In our own solar system the planets orbit very close to the plane of the ecliptic (the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun).  All of the planets orbit around the Sun in the same direction.  The inner planets are much smaller and have very different compositions to the outer gas giants.

electron microscope can see much smaller objects than the light microscope is able to see.

It is used for intracellular transport. Ribosomes, usually found on the rough endoplasmic reticulum, synthesize protein.  The Gogli body is involved with the creation of the endoplasmic reticulum and in the secretion of some substances from the cell. It is the packaging center of the cell. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes.

Modern theory Sun was formed from a condensing cloud of gas and dust. this cloud shrank, any rotation it had would have been accelerated by the conservation of angular momentum.  This caused the cloud to flatten into a broad rotating disc. The planets are thought to have formed from material in the outer part of this disc. The Sun is thought to have formed from material in the inner part of the same disc.  Temperatures were higher in the regions of the disc closer to the protoSun than they were in more distant regions.  Higher temperatures and a strong solar wind would have driven lighter elements out of the inner solar system allowing only small dense planets to form.  Lower temperatures farther away from the proto-Sun would allow lighter elements to clump together, resulting in large gaseous planets.

evolved along different lines in different parts of the world and scales were adopted accordingly. In Europe, music came to be based on the diatonic scale. This consists of eight notes and can be shown in a variety of ways.  For scientific purposes the diatonic scale has been standardised as a sequence of notes between middle C (c´) and upper C (c´´). Middle C has the frequency 256 Hz while upper C has the frequency 512 Hz. Scientific tuning forks pitched at these two notes are however, not suitable for tuning musical instruments.  As far as music is concerned the ratio of the pitches of the various notes on the scale is more important than the actual pitch of the notes. In the eighteenth century it would be unlikely to find two organs, for example, with middle C pipes of exactly the same pitch but this did not create a problem provided the ratios between the notes was the same for all instruments.  In 1939 an international committee agreed to standardise absolute pitch based on the note middle A at 440 Hz.

Adults mating

in frogs is primarily internal with mating pairs of frogs exchanging gametes by bringing their cloacas close together. The cloaca is an opening that connects the bladder and the reproductive systems with the outside world. Mating frogs do not just mate in pairs. If sufficient numbers of compatible males and females are available in an area, they will mate in larger groups, implying that some fertilization takes place externally. The eggs are covered in an outer shell of protective jelly, which swells in contact with water. The female lays her eggs in a sheltered pond or creek. The eggs hatch into tadpoles, which gradually develop into froglets— resembling adults but retaining a vestigial tail—and then mature frogs. Tadpole development is strongly affected by temperature and oxygen availability. The presence of meat or a source of iodine encourages early change into a frog and produces very small adults.

Description of Project: It is the new digital-culture age that has been exhibited by the creativity of digital-media in current. The animation technique education plays a main role on the education of digital design in past 20 years in Taiwan. It emphasizes the learning of technique on software in animation curriculum. However, the software function would limit the originality and result in skill in performance of software for student. One could know that the animation lacks of the content creativity would be hard to communicate the information to audience. The animation is one of the most important types on communication in this generation. A good animation would include not only good skill performance, but also the good content creativity and originality. The goal of curriculum is to guide the student to own the creativity ponder on the designation of animation script. The guide would be consisted of the principle of story creativity ponder, industry expert’s pondered pattern, teaching strategy, and practice of story creativity ponder. The teaching object student, without design background, is sophomore in department of information management. We ensure the guide would increase the creativity of story script, enhance the ability of design of digital media for student.

of the new digital-culture. The final goal is to prompt the quality of creativity industry in Taiwan with the education of creativity ponder to train the junior animator.

4. Forming script: Integrating ones creativity after term discussion to complete the creativity script.

The curriculum of “Creativity of Story Design” aims at the problem solution of creativity ponder in short film animation. The teaching strategy of curriculum is assembled by principle introduce, the practice of case study, industry application, and discussion of various expert’s thinking patterns (e.g. Figure). The teaching method should be modified from the interaction with student momentarily to make a higher performance in curriculum.

What was the challenge?

The 18 hours curriculum is carried on within 6 weeks, and 3 hours per week with the type of interactive teaching. There are four stages included: 1. Subject guidance: Association with subject that would find the root of script, the derivative and creativity would be generated from the deep ponders. 2. Development pattern of creativity: Processing the actually design and creativity development, the mind mapping generates the ponder element that associated with subject after term brainstorm. 3. Forming the decision of creativity: Reify the creativity from associating expert’s thinking pattern, and chose the practicably story to further develop creativity script. If something is deficiency, re-ponder is needed. It is necessary to make sure the practicability by simulating the every role interaction.

1. The animation curriculum was focused on learning of technique, and was weak on the learning of creativity. The curriculum should contain more creativity to promote the quality of learning for student. 2. The student in the department of information management without the design background, how to promote the ability of creativity bases on their background of information manage? What was the solution? The good creativity would be integrated from the begin elements; either it is good or bad. The expert’s experience would be reified for student as rules on creativity ponder. The characteristic of curriculum is as following: 1. Merge the industry pattern into education: The teaching goal would depend on the industry trend to avoid the gap occurred between industry and education. The experience in industry would be merged into teaching and guide the student’s creativity development. 2. Personalize the curriculum with feasible and creative: The detail of curriculum is feasible for each teacher that would make the student learn the code value of creativity and feasibility from curriculum.

Mendeley’s Evolving Network of Expertise and Knowledge

What was the challenge? The challenge for this design was to visualize (in a beautiful and meaningful manner) a very large data set providd by Mendeley (http://www.mendeley.com), “a free reference manager and academic social network that can help you organize your research, collaborate with others online, and discover the latest research.” On September 26, 2011, there existed a total of 29,780,677 unique papers and 30,470 public groups in the Mendeley network. Each group organizes references and scholars by an area of interest so that they can effectively collaborate in public or private. Every group is associated with one of the 25 Mendeley disciplines. We were interested in analyzing this data and understanding charateristics of the many (and few) collaborations that occur between disciplines. What was the solution? We approached the project by breaking the data down into three different levels (macro, meso, and micro) that would provide us what we wanted to see and help us (and others) understand this data. We used the Mendeley API (http://dev. mendeley.com) for data harvesting, Science of Science (Sci2) Tool (https://sci2.cns. iu.edu) for data analysis and basic layout, and Gephi (http://gephi.org) for node and edge rendering. Adobe Illustrator was used for the final design. By importing the exported files from the above open-soucre software into Illustrator, we were able to

break the initial visualization apart and then apply color and scale to better see the data in a beautiful and meaningful manner. The main visualization is a bimodal network graph of group owners and their associated group disciplines, this provides the macro view of the inter-discipline collaborations. We show group owners that own more than one group and their association with the 25 group disciplines. Group owner nodes are circular and size coded by the number of categories they are associated with. Category (discipline) nodes are circular, red, and have the Mendeley logo on them. All nodes are labeled and type font size corresponds to number of in-links. The search and zoom functionality of the PDF file can provide the meso view where users can find and explore Mendeley’s expertise and knowledge network in detail. What was the effect? The effect is that we were able to visualize the our data and come to a few conclusions that could help researchers. By using color, scale, we were able to see and make sense of the data in a visually dynamic manner. Technically, we found that four disciplines (Biological Sciences, Computer and Information Science, Mathematics and Psychology) have a tendency towards higher cross-disciplinary collaboration compared to other disciplines. The discipline categories of Arts and Liberature, Astronomy / Astrophysic / Space Science, and Humanities disciplines are more selfproductive and self-producing where the researchers are more focused on topics in their own disciplines.

An Innovation Interactive Software and Presentation Technique on General Multimedia Didactics Application

What was the challenge? In some classrooms, the traditional white board had been replaced by interactive whiteboards (IWB) which combine video/ media systems and show a modernized teaching/presenting instrument. Many schools use IWB to connect internet/district network to develop digital video distribution system for on-line/off-line study that can provide distance learning or e-learning courses. Moreover, an on-line IWB uses interactive vector based graphical websites to share annotation and drawing environments. In recent years, IWB become popular in many schools. It suits for teaching need in any level, but its price is pretty high. For example, a common IWB with basic function costs 1,000 US dollars or higher. Therefore, it motivates us to explore and create a more convenient and cheaper IWB based on our multimedia expertise. Ifwewanttomakea convenient and cheaper IWB, the first consideration is how to use the facilities in a classroom, such as projector, screen, pointer, and so on. The answer “Wii” is just right flashing in our mind. Wii is the official main engine in video games, it was created by Nintendo in 2007; Wiimote is the Wii’s standard controller, and it uses the blue tooth wireless transmission with main engine’s segment. These two instruments are all setting a high quality infrared detector and infrared LED, but they have an opposite arranged. The biggest challenge comes from how to change infrared detectors become

a common laser point tracker and still keep the fully functions of a presenter. To develop a cheaper IWB is another concern in our design, because we want to show an innovation and interactive presentation skills with a general multimedia effect in classroom. What was the solution? To combine laser guide and wireless control multi-technology on an innovation design was proposed in this work, as shown in Figure 1. We have succeeded to develop an useful design for general multimedia didactics purpose. The solution of the cheapest IWB provides a complete presentation function by utilizing the laser point which comes from a laser diode pointer to emit a red spot onto a screen, and it cooperates with an optic camera and a laser point image tracing software. After some image processes and software program operations, the movement of laser point images can be transformed into a command signal to control the mouse’s cursor on the screen. About the main work on our design is

Figure 2 The concept of our innovation design

We use laser guide technology to control laser points which emit from the pointer managed by the instructor (teacher). Then, we use a web cam with special light filter lens receiver to detect the laser source on the screen. The lens can filter out the visible light on the majority of projection screens effectively. After some image process and computer software program operations, the movement of image can be transformed by a cursor command to guide the laser point precisely. The calibration comes from a four point localization method to calibrate the coordinate of mouse cursor on the screen at the outset. One point calibration takes approximately a few seconds for each. This four point localization calibrates the coordinate of mouse cursor followed by a defined sequence for completing four points calibration. When each point is captured by the web cam the tracking process can be started, the cursor tracking is set up completely, which is shown in Figure 3.

Figure 1 The laser guide and wireless control multi-technology on an innovation design was proposed in this work.

divided into two parts, the following gives a more detailed explanation. The first part is calibration. The system has some facilities including projector, screen, pointer, web cam, a personal computer (laptop) and an instructor which are shown in Figure 2.

Figure 3 The laser source spot on the screen to guide the computer mouse cursor

MORE THAN ADEQUATE The second part of this work is presentation. The trajectories of mouse movement, such as the trajectory path, icon pattern, and writing symbol could all be possibly changed by various commands for a computer in the first part step to execute a superior performance with multimedia, multi-functional and touchless behavior. The presentation work proposes a practical application on general multimedia didactics. In a general case, when use a projector, the user (teacher) stands in front of screen and faces to the projector, Figure 4 are shown the situation. The user eyes have to sustain a high luminance light under this embarrassing.

on the screen effectively. Thus, we can say that it is a distance free (touchless) for the detection. Due to the excellent property, the proposed design can operate in a large classroom as well as a large screen for more attractive didactics, which are shown as Figure 9.

Figure 6 The proposed design performs air mouse and air presenter function.

Figure 7 The proposed design performs air writing function.

Figure 4 In general case, the user eyes always sustain from high luminance projector light.

To compare with the Wiimote IWB, which uses coordinate tracking and guides the computer mouse cursor by detecting the IR spot. But, it has the distance limitation, which is shown as Figure 8. Because of the

The proposed design wisely offers a perfect solution. The user can operate a far distance control didactics, and the IWB provides an interactive, precise and multimedia teaching method in front of the screen, which is shown as Figure 5.

Figure 8 The Wiimote IWB system has the distance limitation for its detection.

What was the effect? This work provides an innovation interactive software and presentation technique on general multimedia didactics. The proposed design utilizes laser point which comes from a common laser pointer to emit a red spot onto a screen, it cooperates with a web cam (optic camera) and a laser point image tracing software. After some image processes and software program operations, the movement of laser point images can be transformed into a command signal to control the mouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cursor on the screen. When associates with multimedia presentation software from cloud top technique, the proposed design can efficiently present a superior performance with multimedia, multi-functional and touchless behavior by controlling the mouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loci. The future version is shown as Figure10. In conclusion, the effect of the proposed design for enhancing didactics for multimedia presentation could be summarized as the following: 1. This technique creates a more convenient and cheaper IWB. 2. Accompanying with projector, pointer, screen, PC and web cam, it is easy to show innovation and interactive presentation skills in classroom. 3. The superior performance is demonstrated on multimedia, multi-functional and touchless behavior.

Figure 5 The proposed design provides the user a feel free, interactive, precise and multimedia teaching method.

For a conventional IWB, the user has limited functions in presentation work, it just use infrared detector and infra LED, like Wiimote. This proposed design provides a full solution for presentation needs, such as air mouse, air presenter (shown in Figure 6) and air writing function (shown in Figure 7), as well as far distance control onto the screen.

Figure 9 The proposed design suits for a large size screen in a big classroom

Visualizing Timor-Leste Education Data

What was the challenge? The challenge was finding a way to present statistics and information in a national report to assess the gender gap in education that would be engaging and easy-tounderstand for senior decision-makers, as well as staff. What was the solution? Through the help of various organizations, the Ministry of Education was collecting massive amounts of education and sexdisaggregated data. Using basic statistical formulas and simple yet representational graphics and typography, the data and information was designed to highlight the gender trends/gaps for various indicators. Factsheets like the ones shown provided a one-page reference for policy makers, advisors and staff to understand and derive programs. What was the effect? Senior managers and staff of the Ministry took the issue more seriously, the issue of gender and the gaps in education translated into more tangible and visual understanding, making the issue and problems much more relevant to the local context. This eventually led to addressing these gender gaps and issues in the 5-year national education strategic plan.

Report connecting excellence for health

What was the challenge? In its annual report the Helmholtz Research Center Munich focused on the issue of cooperation in providing information about its functions and services. The institute and its scientists wish to explore across disciplines how health and the environment are connected and develop new treatment methods on the strength of this. The main emphasis here is on the link between research and applications. What was the solution? The annual report design addresses the main issue of overall cooperation with the appropriate content and extensively in terms of layout and illustrations. Organizational and information charts or radial dendograms highlight the personal and internal institutional links but also the center’s involvement with research associations. Processing-based generative design makes this aesthetic of knowledge possible, whereby the individual is always the focus of attention – including in portraits. The design concept is already expressed on the cover – relief lacquer on the uncoated paper makes tangible the almost invisible cooperative connections that characterize the Helmholtz Zentrum München at all levels of networking. What was the effect? Growth of transparency “how research at the Helmholtz Research Center Munich works” . Awarded.

Beim triple-negativen (TN) Brustkrebs liegen die Rezeptoren für den Wachstumsfaktor HER2 und die der weiblichen Geschlechtshormone Östrogen bzw. Progesteron in den Zellen gar nicht oder in geringer Konzentration vor. Da die bisher erhältlichen Therapeutika gegen eine erhöhte Konzentration dieser Rezeptoren gerichtet sind, greifen sie im Falle von TN-Brustkrebs nicht. Eine aktuelle Studie des Helmholtz Zentrums München hat erstmals die Basis für einen Therapieansatz für diese Brustkrebsform gefunden.

4.3.1 – 4.3.5

Bei dreifach Rezeptor-negativem oder triple-negativem (TN) Brustkrebs findet keine oder nur eine geringe Expression von Östrogen- und Progesteronrezeptoren sowie von HER2Rezeptoren statt, die Angriffsziel einer medikamentösen Therapie beim Mammakarzinom sind. Das Forscherteam um Michaela Aubele hat nun TN-Tumore genauer untersucht und deutliche Unterschiede in der Konzentration von etwa 30 Proteinen gegenüber den HER2positiven / Hormonrezeptor-negativen Krebsarten gefunden. Davon werden 13 Proteine bei TN-Brustkrebs in höherer Konzentration bzw. über 20 Proteine in geringerer Menge als bei HER2-positiven / Hormonrezeptor-negativen Mammakarzinomen gebildet. Als Untersuchungsmaterial dienten 34 Proben gefrorenen Brustkrebsgewebes (15 von triple-negativen und 19 HER-2 positiv / Hormonrezeptor-negativen Tumoren). Zu den identifizierten Proteinen gehören z. B. Annexin A1 und A2, Laktoferrin, NME1-NME2 Protein, Fibronektin und L-Plastin. Die physiologische Rolle einiger dieser Markerproteine ist bekannt: Sie sind an Signalketten beteiligt, die relevant für Wachstum und Invasion von Tumoren in das umgebende Gewebe sind.

Eine Frage der Vernunft

What was the challenge? The challenge was to design a series of ten double-sided visualizations as part of the annual report of the Generation CEO – an initiative to promote female talents for management positions. In addition to the editorial section of the annual report the visualization part should playfully depict the cumulative competences of the 81 female managers currently joining the network.

What was the solution? The visualization series was designed in a diversified way regarding both content-related and visual aspects. Among management-specific issues (such as fields of study or professional experience) playful aspects were allowed (such as haircuts or number of children). The various graphic and pictorial means alternate and refer to the content that has to be communicated. Ø = 38.81 JAHRE

What was the effect? The visualization series delivers a multifaceted and differentiated picture of the 81 managers. The illustrative, narrative and non-linear visualizations allow a free exploration of the data. They enable surprising insights in the environment of the female managers by playful means. By enabling and stimulating individual readings the visualizations tell many different stories. Visualizations that combine content-related and aesthetic aspects allow not only quantitative but rather qualitative statements.

I Walk New York: A Plan for Pedestrian Wayfinding for New York City

What was the challenge? The New York City Department of Transportation commissioned Two Twelve to study the pedestrian experience throughout the five boroughs and develop a wayfinding master plan to help people navigate more easily, conveniently and with confidence. The primary goal of the project was to develop a wayfinding design strategy that encourages people to walk, with the related aims and benefits of easing vehicular congestion, reducing crowding on subways and buses, improving human health and mobility, and easing the flow of foot traffic that is the lifeblood of the city’s numerous commercial, cultural and recreational attractions. What was the solution? Given the international success of the innovative Legible London wayfinding program in the UK, Two Twelve chose to work with the inventor of that system, London-based Applied (formerly AIG: Applied Information Group) to develop the strategy and recommendations for New York. The first step was to benchmark the present situation to understand where improvements were needed and what behaviors needed to be supported or changed. The team worked with Beresford Research to survey various pedestrian populations in different types of neighborhoods, from the destination-dense streets of midtown Manhattan to the wide boulevards of Queens. The research team used observation and questionnaires to identify the common challenges people have navigating the city and the cues and tools people use to orient themselves to their surroundings.

Among the quantitative findings of interviews with more than 400 people in four neighborhoods were:

for providing orientation information and easy-to understand directions where there presently are none or not enough.

• 13% of locals are not familiar with the area • 48% of visitors could not give directions to a local landmark • 9% of New Yorkers have been lost in the past week • 27% of visitor admitted to getting lost in the previous week • 33% of locals did not know which way was north

Among the most important recommendations are to use consistent cues and information throughout the five boroughs, to incorporate existing sign systems, to involve local community organizations in the development and maintenance of the program, to use technology to support traditional forms of visual communication, and to leverage graphics and other visual cues in the streetscape that people already recognize and use to navigate New York City. A system design that meets these overall objectives will ensure ease and affordability of implementation, allow for a balance between a citywide identity and the individual character of each neighborhood, and improve the pedestrian experience.

These statistics serve two important functions: first, they affirm the need and opportunities for a citywide wayfinding system, and second, they ensure accountability to the public by establishing benchmarks that the city agency can use later to evaluate the effectiveness of any recommendations that are implemented. A qualitative component of the research methodology involved asking residents and visitors to draw “mental maps” -- to actually illustrate their perceptions of the city and its neighborhoods in relation to one another. The I Walk New York team used results of these personal sketches, combined with the quantitative findings and field observations, to establish a strategic framework for a pedestrian wayfinding system for New York City. The team built on this framework to make numerous recommendations, including both incremental and dramatic elements, that the DOT could use to support walking. What was the effect? “I Walk New York: A Plan for Pedestrian Wayfinding for New York City” outlines a clear, branded strategy and feasible tactics

“‘I Walk New York lays out a vision for a pedestrian experience that is well organized and user-friendly without sacrificing the energy and diversity that make New York a unique and vibrant city,” says Two Twelve’s principal-in-charge of the study, David Gibson. The program will be implemented over a 10-year period starting in 2012.

Online wayfinding

What was the challenge? To create an online wayfinding tool using enhanced 3D maps and virtual-reality systems to allow people to navigate stations or other terminal buildings and plan their journey or visit in advance. What was the solution? Combining 3D station models and 360° VR photography allows people to explore the whole building environment without leaving home. TDC and specialist photographic services company Spheroview have set up a test website based on one of the new Dubai Metro stations to illustrate how the wayfinding tool works. Please visit the website to see the system for yourself, simply click on any of the hot spots to see different station areas: www.spheroview.com/nakheel/20.html On each view a set of navigation aids allow the user to pan around the scene, zoom in and out, or choose a different location by clicking on the hot-spots marked on the master station plan. What was the effect? The service promises to be particular useful for disabled people, people with luggage or people with small children in pushchairs needing to plan for step-free access to services and facilities. TDC has recently designed updated station maps for Network Rail in the UK, utilising site surveys and 360° photography for accurate 3D representation. The maps will eventually be used as part of Network Rail’s online services to passengers.

Future Concepts Visualizing the impact of terror attacks on India

What was the challenge? India is world rank second, in facing terrorist threats emanating from diverse groups with various objectives. Terrorists have adopted different tactics, ranging from hit and run to fidayeen (suicide) attacks. The focus of perpetrators is to ensure that events are unrelated, random and seemingly innocuous. Peace conflict research institutes have been collecting detailed information of activities on an hourly basis, often with the help of media agencies. How can one give meaning and structure to this data? Continuously increasing data set sizes, challenges fundamental methods. This manifests itself in methods across many fields, from computational complexity to database organization to the visual presentation and exploration of the data. What was the solution? I have used different, appropriate and interactive visualizations, for respective data sets under the grid of parallel coordinates, such as geo- spatial plotting, interactive node diagram, line plot, visual cluster mapping and dot mapping. What was the effect? One can construct a holistic visual representation of complex patterns. Also, the visualization system supports a variety of user interactions to help understand hidden patterns, for example, identifying future targets leading to preventative actions.

Figure 1: Final visual impact achieved. (Dummy data)

I explored a large data-set of terrorist incidents with the visualization system, and presented a selection of interesting patterns. Further, I realized that giving visual form to such database can be quite challenging. However, dynamic visualization with real time database, and drawing lines connecting different variables as per time selection, solves it all. The impact of this visualization system lies in the complexity and diversity of patterns that it can present. In other words, it can simultaneously visualize data across several dimensions (including geography, time, and/ or multiple attributes) and can explore different types of patterns with a unified environment. (Fig.1)

THATâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;S IT! MORE THAN ADEQUATE TIMELINE Documents collected were based on the time variant. This led to the conclusion of making the visualization time driven, which can be further filtered, with the help of range slider. LOCATION Exact location has been plotted using longitude and latitude value over Microsoft virtual earth. The diameter of the circle varies in relation to the number of casualties to depict the impact of destruction. (Fig.3)

Of B and C – Data visualization beyond pie charts and bar graphs

What was the challenge? The majority of data visualizations are designed according to existing conventions, traditions and trends. Data is often entered into interchangeable models like pie charts or bar graphs, whereby it is only seldom that the optimal presentational format for the corresponding information is sought after and the maximum visualization potential achieved. The challenge within this project was to develop new presentation formats for information visualization, to exploit the unexhausted visualization potential and to test its boundaries. What was the solution? In addition to nine developed visualizations, the book contains all data that was collected during the work process. Using a Japanese book-binding method, the exterior pages contain the primary material – the data – while the inner pages present the visuals. The nine developed visualizations present a wide spectrum of new forms of representation, in which the graphic and pictorial means refers to the content presented and precisely communicate the information. Both the informative and aesthetic quality of the visualization are thereby equally considered. What was the effect? The book demonstrates how depictive knowledge can be won from data records by means of innovative visualizations – beyond conventional graphical representations – and that language that is committed to content and readability can take on surprising form and travel unfamiliar paths.

Inclusive Information Environments in Public Transport

Research challenge The distribution of passenger flows in public transport environments can be predicted through simulations of flow characteristics. The flow characteristics are usually based on average values, they assume, that all users know the infrastructure and use the shortest route to reach their goal. They do not include behavioural characteristics of people with mobility impairments such as wheelchair users, individuals with prams and small children, older people or people with sensory impairments. The overall research project was aimed at 1) improving the quality of such pedestrian flow simulations by incorporating information about group-specific orientation and navigation behaviour and 2) linking the simulation to the information environment. Within this project qualitative design research was formulated to elaborate on information design content. Use cases were based on the Praterstern transport interchange with high density commuter travel as well as being a tourist and weekend attraction. The main question for information design was to identify a relationship between the information environment and orientation strategies of these groups of passengers. Results may point towards group-specific information requirements beyond the obvious and known physical requirements.

Methods used • Pre- and post-task interviews with all respondents from eight categories: 70+ years old, adult with push-chair, mobility impaired, wheelchair users, visually impaired, blind, hearing impaired, deaf. • Definition of two realistic scenarios: within one transport system and changing between two different transport systems (one scenario per respondent). • Telling a story to make the tasks plausible, i.e. visiting a friend and buying some flowers on the way. • Documentation of the tasks employing three different techniques: “Thinking aloud” comments recorded from the respondent; “Shadowing” of each respondent; time/motion tracking on a tablet-PC with annotations of defined events. Results The insights gained were in some respects surprising but also confirmed us in our conviction that context and a holistic view of the information environment are paramount to successful information design. 1) The quantitative measure revealed an overall slightly slower walking speed for the groups we looked at compared to what is usually assumed in pedestrian flow simulations. It was surprising, however, that across the groups we found no significant difference in the speed of completing the tasks. 3) By matching the thinking aloud data with walking speed and observations a pattern of “moving with confidence” and “insecure movement” emerged. Thus a complete narrative for each task was created, incorporating the personal profile of the respondents, their movement pattern, speed, comments and observations.

4) People’s expectations and experience determine what they are looking for in the (information) environment. This was demonstrated in two ways: when onscreen information was available but not expected, it was “invisible”; when buses and trams were arranged in a parallel platform style people were confused and had trouble finding the bus stop located behind the tram. (In both cases Vienna city transport adopted new strategies that were usually associated with the railways but unfamiliar in a city transport context.) 5) High concentration of the most used features in the environment on one side of the concourse (access to lifts and escalators, info screens, supermarket, cash point, take-away), caused conflicts between “gathering information mode” and “moving along mode”. Conclusions Regardless of physical ability, respondents across all groups had similar problems when navigating the environment: placement and recognition of functional features/information; readabiltiy/audibility of information; clarity of content. Leaving us with the observation that the design and organisation of the environment and of information seem to have greater influence on navigation and orientation behaviour than age, gender or any physical requirement.

The research was carried out in the context of MASIMO – Multiagent System for Group-specific Movement and Orientation Behaviour of Pedestrians in co-operation with the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), supported by the IV2Splus programme of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Infrastructure and Transport (bmvit). Lisa Ehrenstrasser, inklusiv Design & research, contributed towards defining the research and evaluation methods.

Maximizing the Social Impact of Cancer Registry Data, California

What was the challenge? This transdisciplinary project includes experts in epidemiology from the Cancer Prevention Institute of California (cancer statistics), public health researchers at Washington University in St. Louis (communications), and design researchers at Washington University in St. Louis (visual and interaction design). The general goal of this project is to improve the social impact of cancer registry data for the public. The specific challenge of this segment of the project was to design two sample interfaces to house cancer incidence data (colorrectal cancer in the state of California), and to measure the effectivenss of these displays in relation to displays with similar data that are commonly viewed online. What was the solution? The solution was the design of the two displays to the right, the first of which is an interactive â&#x20AC;&#x153;snapshotâ&#x20AC;? that shows average colorectal cancer rates in a given moment, broken down by ethnic group and region; the circles are rollovers only, so the user can have the experience of quickly scanning through the numbers. The second solution is a trends chart, which shows colorectal cancer rates over time. In this example, the user can click on any chart line and roll over the others to compare; alternatively, the user can select categories from the lists at the bottom, and the corresponding line will highlight, colorcoded by ethnic group.

What was the effect? The effectiveness of the first display is currently being evaluated by approximately 200 members of the general public, living in the state of California. Clarity, retention, volume of information, and accessibility are among the factors to be tested. It is anticipated that results from the study, which will be available in late fall, will

help establish some benchmarks in cancer registry data presentation. The transdisciplinary team has also developed a graphics generator, which allows researchers to upload Excel files from any region in the U.S. to create either of the two visualization approaches shown here.

Get Out Safe: Designing Emergency Exit Maps That Work

What was the challenge? Emergency exit maps in public buildingsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether in schools, hospitals, hotels, airports, or government officesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are surprisingly hard to locate and difficult to understand. They fall far short of being useful navigation tools to aid emergency preparedness and public safety. What was the solution? A study of how the visual language of emergency exit maps and systems can be improved is part of a research project supported by the University of California, Davis. One specific challenge of this phase of the project is how to represent a three-dimensional experience in two dimensions so that the viewer creates a clear mental model of the space and where they are in it. Subsequent phases of the project move beyond the map to consider the entire evacuation experience, investigating aspects such as directional sound, tactile elements, networking, and change of state. What was the effect? The outcome of this project is the development of best practices and models for improvement that can be adapted for use in a variety of public buildings. The process includes mobilizing research and design professionals, engaging students from several academic institutions, advocating for the need to design prototypes and guidelines for broader implementation, and providing tools and methods to accomplish this effectively.

Elevator “Door Open/Door Close” Icons

What was the challenge? The “door open/door close” buttons, ubiquitous in public elevators, are a frequent source of confusion and even embarrassment. Recognizing the correct icon quickly enough to prevent the door from shutting in the face of a friendly stranger is a challenge for many of us.

What was the solution? A visual exploration of alternative symbols—part of the Orphan Projects in Design Initiative at the University of California, Davis—seeks to alleviate the perplexity of this all-too-familiar situation. Twelve proposals for a new symbol set explore change-of-state and dimensionality to create symbols that are more intuitive to use at a glance and in a hurry.

Research Design Methods to obtain Formal Coherence in Pictographic Systems

What was the challenge? This is a research project to obtain formal coherence in pictographic systems. This formal coherence is very important when applied to universal spaces, like Airports or Olympic Games facilities, because the user must be comfortable decoding the pictograms. So, they should work as a family, where all the shapes and graphic style have to uniform and coherent. The main goal was to propose one (or more then one) Design Methods, which improve the creative process, helping the designer to achieve formal coherence. I chose six great examples of Universal Pictography, three Airport Systems and three Olympic Systems. This was a research centred in a qualitative data analysis.

What was the solution? Through an intense analysis I achieve four different Design Methods to generate pictographic systems: [1] Modular System in a Grid Pattern, [2] Modular Pathway Pattern, [3] Geometric System and [4] Freehand Systems. After that I tested the results with a group of 60 design students.

[1] Main characteristics: When we combine a skeleton (structural attribute) with a certain number of modules (formal attributes), articulated in a grid (coordinative element) we can achieve formal coherence trough all the system. These ideas where collected mainly from Otl Aicher’s work (Munich Olympics) and then validated by the students. [2] Main characteristics: When we combine a skeleton (structural attribute) with a module (formal attribute), from A to B, we can achieve formal coherence trough all the system. These ideas where collected mainly from Min Wang’s work (Beijing Olympics) and then validated by the students. [3] Main characteristics: When we combine a skeleton (structural attribute) with geometric forms (formal attribute), we can achieve formal coherence trough all the system. These ideas where collected mainly from AIGA’s and Mijksenaar work (Shiphol airport) and then validated by the students. [4] Main characteristics: When we combine a skeleton (structural attribute) with freehand forms (formal attribute), we can achieve formal coherence trough all the system. These freehand forms must come from the same tool, like a brush or a “software tool”. These ideas where collected mainly from Josep Maria Triás work (Barcelona Olympics) and then validated by the students.

What was the effect? I can conclude: 1.To generate the pictograms we should use three elements: A] Structural attributes, that I named skeleton B] Formal attributes, like modules for example C] In some cases we should use a Grid, that I named Coordinative Element. 2.The Modular System in a Grid Pattern is the best method to achieve formal coherence. 3.The Geometric System is the worst to obtain formal coherence, because it doesn’t use a specific element that we could repeat like in the modular systems. 4.I can say that the Freehand Systems are the best to generate an original and different graphic style approach. I can say that I am already using these different Design Methods in pictographic projects. For example a Portuguese architect invited me to create two different systems of pictograms to use in 14 Portuguese Schools. I also wrote a book about Olympic Pictograms. The invitation came from the Portuguese Olympic Committee. -I think these methods are a fantatic tool to help designers when they need to create pictographic systems for universal contexts.

Visualizing Indicator Systems

What was the challenge? Using the example of the measuring data of sustainable development in Switzerland this research project aimed to develop and evaluate alternative visual representation forms for complex indicator systems. Based on the abstract data of the MONET indicator system with its 75 indicators the challenge was to make the multilayered and complex information accessible, communicate it effectively and deliver a working tool to explore the underlying data. What was the solution? By means of a visually conducted and reflected design process and a systematic employment of various graphic design tools a wide range and variety of visual representation forms was developed. The entire data of the MONET indicator system was finally equally visualized by means of three selected visualization systems (rhomb, circle, typography) with the objective to test their usability and compare them. The three systems are presented in the form of printed pads to flip through. What was the effect? The visualizations may not have provided effective new knowledge about individual indicators to our project partners but they delivered new insights into existing connections and clearly revealed problems of the MONET structure by bringing up contentrelated questions about the data and the construction of the indicator system. The visualizations thus enabled us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; beyond the graphically conducted knowledge transfer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to trigger a critical thought process about the indicator system itself.

Since 1985, with support from over 200 organisations and over 400 projects, I and my colleagues at CRI (the Communication Research Institute, formerly CRIA, the Communication Research Institute of Australia) have collected data and experience for developing these methods; crucially, we have demonstrated that the methods are effective. In 1990 we published the first major case history to come out of this research (Fisher

The solution was to develop a comprehensive set of design methods for information design problems, drawing on the history of information design and the fields of design research and methodology, then testing our methods using practical information design projects.

The diagram shows each stage of the method and its sequence within the overall process. Our published research acknowledges the many precursors to this process. However, none has provided detailed descriptions of stages. More importantly, not one has published the supporting data in so many settings proving the effectiveness of their methods in solving information design problems. What was the effect? There have been many effects. The most important from my point of view has been

Tourism-Broschure »WANDERZEIT«

What was the challenge? Our approach: Not only to design the commissioned tourism-brochure than to initiate an overarching sustainable concept for the whole village. How to conserve and increase the quality of life for guests and locals? Which way, the place could take a good development, a positive direction? And how tourism will receive a sustainable dimension? A basis to work in 20 years also successfully. At least: How should look like a brochure, express that all? What was the solution? The focussing on one topic – in workshops developed in collaboration with the locals. The concentration on something ecologically, sustainable and consistently developed: Hiking. And whole year round. This should be visualized authentic, credible, honest and in a very unusal way. Not colorful, in DIN A4, no clichee. Fotomodels just from the village, »real people« from there. Short texts, honest and a little bit self-critical. Tips and informations, all focussed on the topic hiking, helpful, interesting, surprising. A companion before, during and after the holiday … What was the effect? In the village itself, the concept was immediately accepted. Also the people on trade fairs were fascinated and interested. And even more by receiving the ordered brochure in the recycling-box with fragrant hay. The place now has a guideline of development, touristic offers also got a clear and sustained focus. And the guests very like the unconventional brochure.

Bloomberg LP Sustainability Report

What was the challenge? When Bloomberg LP, the New York-based global business and financial news leader, was interested in publishing their first-ever report according to Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines, they came to Two Twelve’s sustainability communications team. GRI is a progressive framework for companies to report their performance not only in terms of the bottom line, but against standards for corporate governance, environmental and social responsibility. At the same time that they were releasing this report, Bloomberg LP was introducing a related product; an “on-terminal” tool to help investors evaluate and compare companies that report against GRI standards. Two Twelve was tasked with the design and production of four communications to support these activities: the Bloomberg GRI report, a demonstration of the new product, and promotion piece that introduced them, and a web page that allowed access to all of these. What was the solution? Recognizing Bloomberg’s leadership role in the finance community and their commitment to bringing transparency to capital markets, our team knew that precision, accuracy, and a data-driven design format would be critical to the success of the GRI report. Starting with a technical document that enumerated corporate performance according to Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)

standards, our team organized the report data and information in a more accessible way, calling out important points and goals with creative use of imagery, graphics and type, and linking these metrics to the GRI standard index. In addition to developing the 230-page report, Two Twelve coordinated the development of the interactive version of the document as it would appear on Bloomberg’s “Terminal” interface. This interactive tool demonstrated the new on-terminal product, allowing Bloomberg subscribers to access and navigate information in a familiar way, and expose non-subscribers to the terminal experience. The dynamic promotion piece, produced in collaboration with Jaeger Sloan, puts the report and product in context, setting up the market opportunity and reasoning or these “triple bottom line” reports and tools. The Accessible online at http://www. bloomberg.com/bsustainable, the suite of related communications reveal the power and purpose of the data, and reinforce Bloomberg’s commitment to transparency. What was the effect? “This innovative online experience beautifully expresses our vision and re-establishes Bloomberg’s leadership position in the market for business news and information,” said our client Curtis Ravenel, who developed the ESG product and drives corporate sustainability initiatives at Bloomberg LP. Two Twelve’s work for the Bloomberg Sustainability Report was published by Communications Arts Web-picks, and recognized by Graphic Design USA as a 2011 American Graphic Design Award winner.

The Green Machine

What was the challenge? Today, the world is aware of growing challenges to energy use and the need for conservation to avoid pollution, global warming, and other effects of energy use. Aaron Marcus had first analyzed global energy interdependence in a research and design project at the East-West Center, Honolulu, HI, in 1978, as the head of a special international team tasked with information design and visualization: communicating the subject through charts, maps, and diagrams for heads of state and the general public. A decade later Al Gore began his campaign to make people aware of energy issues. His efforts took 20 years to achieve success. Today, people are more aware, but not enough are making changes in behavior to have a global impact on energy use. In 2008, Aaron Marcus realized the mobile phone was ideal for informing people, as well as inducing them to change their behavior. There are some three to four billion phones in use throughout the world. Applications and content could be designed to have an effect on energy use. In 2009 he organized a team of AM+A Associates, in particular an international team of Designer/Analyst Interns, to help him research, design, and document a new approach to mobile applications that combined information design (and visualization) with the principles of behavior change. This team included these interns: • Arne Berger, Germany • Jan Brejcha, C ech Republic • J r mie Jean, France • ileen ee, Phillipines • ye Min Kim, South Korea

Many organizations that treat addictions use persuasion, such as Weight Watchers, Alcoholics Anonymous, and Smoke nders. Several theorists and analysts have described the philosophy, principles, and techniques such as Robert Cialdini e.g., in “The Science of Persuasion,” Scienti c American, February 2001 and B. J. Fogg. e.g., in Mobile Persuasion, 200 . AM+A distilled a five-step process for achieving behavior change: • Increase frequency of using application • Motivate change in some energy use habits: e.g., use of lights and computers, etc. • Teach how to change energy use habits • Persuade users to change energy use habits (short-term change) • Persuade users to change lifestyle (long-term change) Today, Smart Grid electricity meters are being used increasingly in homes and businesses throughout the USA and elsewhere to provide detailed, comprehensive, realtime data to utility companies. President Obama pledged $4.5 billion in 2010 to assist the roll-out of such systems. These same data can be provided by wireless communication to the owners of homes and commercial buildings, as well as to other energy “stakeholders.” In today’s communication media, such data can be provided, together with other statistics, charts, maps, news, images, in a social context that is familiar to users of mobile media. Tests have shown that with appropriate “incentives,” consumers can cut their energy use by about 10 per cent without requiring a radical change in lifestyle. Most applications that have appeared to assist consumers have been oriented to personal computers, not mobile applications. Google’s Power Meter is a good e ample of an application attempting to give people a “dashboard” view of energy use. AM+A investigated and compared

about 20 mobile applications to look at the marketplace and to consider how more could be done by not only providing information but combining that information with a program for behavior change. What was the solution? AM+A developed an information architecture for the Green Machine, a mobile application concept design incorporating the steps of behavior change identified above. The key ingredients of the design are expressed in the five buttons at the bottom of every screen: • Dashboard: ow am I doing now, in this case, one’s current energy use • Model of the future: hat will the world be like if I keep using energy as I am currently, including how many animal species will die, how much greater water scarcity, and how many more armed conflicts over scarce resources • Friends network: ith whom am I connected? Who can provide support? • Tips and advice: ow can I start with small steps? How can I increase my behavior changes? • Competitions and challenges: hat available games, puzzles, or other incentives can make things fun? Following a user centered design process, AM+A focused on user profiles or personas representing typical users (Mom, Dad, Daughter, Son and use scenarios checking the home energy use against planned or e pected goals for the month . Keeping these two aspects in mind enabled AM+A to design a set of key functions and data for the application. AM+A organized these functions and data into the information architecture of the Green Machine, which is shown in the accompanying Figure 1. Based on the information architecture, AM+A designed preliminary screens for the key components of the application focused on reducing household energy reuse:

MORE THAN ADEQUATE • My Use: Dashboard • 2200: Model of the future • Friends: Social networking among family, friends, and professionals • Tips: Advice about starting small, how to make progress, how to improve • Challenges: Games and competitions providing entertainment and incentives AM+A tested the initial designs with 20 people, aged 18-65, both men and women. In general the user reaction was favorable regarding motivation and behavior change. Although encouraging, this was merely a “snapshot” response. What was the effect? Based on feedback, AM+A revised the screens as shown in the accompanying Figures 2 through 7. AM+A published a case study in Information Design Journal, and article in User Experience Magazine, an article in Metering International, and an article in Korean Design News. Most importantly, in presenting lectures about the project, AM+A interested SAP, and international enterprise software company, in absorbing the principles into its products. During the latter part of 2010, AM+A worked for SAP to design four prototypes of mobile/Web products incorporating sustainability but oriented to employees within companies. AM+A tested the prototypes and derived guidelines for incorporating sustainability into enterprise software. Subsequently, AM+A worked with SAP to design one commercial product derived from the Green Machine. AM+A has been included as cosigners of three patent applications based on their work for SAP. The potential for incorporating sustainability and persuasion principles into enterprise software through SAP’s products has a potential worldwide impact, because SAP runs many of the world’s largest corporations.

Multitouch Lab Journal

What was the challenge? Their work is cutting-edge, their digital tools hopelessly outdated. Scientists in biochemical laboratories around the world take on all kinds of challenges from developing more efficient batteries to healing cancer. To ensure reproducible scientific results and keeping track of all experiments, proper documentation is absolutely crucial. However, while scientists are surrounded by high-tech laboratory equipment many of them still use pen and paper to document their work. In a so-called “lab journal” they record all information that is needed to reproduce an experiment, e.g. methods, material specifications or calculations. External (digital) content like photos, illustrations or charts are printed out and glued into the lab journal. This all makes for a very time-consuming and cumbersome process that keeps scientists from doing more important tasks.

and software concept as well as the user interface and interaction design for what we called the “Multitouch Lab Journal”.

What was the solution? The Multitouch Lab Journal (MLJ) is a computer-system based on a big multitouch screen. The system is protected by a solid glass surface and built right into a regular workbench. This way it enables easy access and operation, while saving valuable space in the lab. All data is saved on a central server and the MLJ is connected to other laboratory devices through the lab’s IT system. While the hardware of the MLJ is already cutting-edge, the user interface is really what sets it apart from other systems. One of the unique innovations is the new way of graphically managing experiments. All experiments are displayed as nodes within a tree-like diagram and can be organized into branches. Between experiments with similar results, keywords, methods etc. the system draws lines to show their connection. A Zoomable User Interface enables intuitive control, similar to the navigation on a digital map. This helps scientists to keep an overview over their work, easily

manage experiments and identify (hidden) connections and relationships. Another innovation is the actual documentation of experiments. No longer are experiments recorded in a journal but in a Chinese fan-like document, which can be easily manipulated through gestures. In addition to a digital pen, the application uses intelligent recognition algorithms to detect user input. For example the MLJ recognizes whether the user wants to write a text, insert a picture or create a table. Based on users input the system supports them with handwriting recognition, shape correction, auto-completion or a calculator. Furthermore the MLJ is able to optically identifying objects on the table’s surface and display metadata, e.g. the properties of a reagent. The system also contains a database with standardized templates for often-used methods and experiments. This enables scientists to quickly load a “recipe” and adapt it to their needs. Through the interconnectedness with other laboratory devices, the system can even execute parts of the documentation process by itself. This guarantees for an accurate record and saves valuable time. However, the MLJ offers even more. Since most scientists work within a team, certain

A typical hand-written lab journal In collaboration with the German Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA) in Stuttgart, we set out to find a solution to this problem as part of our Bachelor’s thesis. Our goal was to create a system that will not only be a(nother) digital version of the lab journal, but one that holistically supports the workflow of scientists, from bibliographical research to conducting experiments and evaluating the results. After an in-depth user research, we came up with the hard-

MASTER WINNER functionalities known from social networks enhance communication with coworkers and aid to keep track of the team’s activities. For example experiments and results can be shared, viewed and commented on. The system also allows for reserving laboratory devices, scheduling meetings and ordering new supplies.

What was the outcome? So far the MLJ is mostly a concept existing (only) on paper. However, engineers at Fraunhofer IPA have started working on implementing a prototype of the MLJ system within one of their experimental labs in Germany. Feedback from designers, scientists and engineers has been thoroughly positive and the question “When will this be available?” was placed more than once. Two of Germany’s most influential design magazines (PAGE and WEAVE) have published short articles about the MLJ. “GIT”, a professional journal for laboratories, has even dedicated a two-page article to the new system. Although the MLJ is not a fully functional system yet, we are sure that an exciting future lies ahead of it. The Multitouch Lab Journal could revolutionize the work in biochemical laboratories and allow scientists to spend less time at the desk and more in the lab – improving batteries and healing cancer.

Tables for bus lines frequency are divided into working days, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. They allow users to know the maximum waiting time between a bus and another.

When not finding a favorable destination on the connection diagram, user can consult the region map and identify other nearby bus stops. Another table shows the bus lines available on each of those bus stops. There are also literal images and symbols on the region map representing landmarks and public services nearby, such as schools and hospitals.

Highlighted on the panel, there is a connection diagram linked with a table and the symbols label. These elements allow users to view all bus lines available at that bus stop, their routes, bus stops along the path and possible connections. Also, are used literal figures of the main landmarks and labels identifying the neighborhoods of the city (the connection diagram is shown in detail below).

As well as graphically present the information in a way that it becomes acessible and understandable for everyone. The designed graphic elements for the information system share a visual identity, that makes the system more cohesive and attractive. The same elements can be adapted and applied to other situations, such as wayshowing system, printed or digital media. The efficiency of the new information system must pass through an userbased validation. This procedure is been developed in our master thesis. After the verification of its informational and graphical quality, the visual information system will be presented to the public transportation agency of Curitiba, for appraisal.

Category: Student Work Project: Introducing the Deaf and Mute to the World of Road Signs

Introducing the Deaf & Mute to the World of Road Signs

What was the challenge?

What was the solution?

Considering the lack of an easy interface between the deaf & mute children and their parents/teachers, a learning aid was needed that could make the information transfer easy and effective. This project aims at designing information related to road signs for age group 6 - 8 years, when these challenged children are at an early stage of being road users. Creating a language to educate was another challenge as they cannot express easily and can hardly hear. Meaning of road signs, their location and usage is the first hand information essentially required to enhance their safety. A complete knowledge makes them independent and teaches them road ettiques which helps avoid accidents.

An informative aid containing 15 main road signs cards was designed. Each card contained all information that could be used as a single learning unit, or else, could be combined with other cards to be played like a game.

166

Users could fold and expand a card, hide a part of it, organize and arrange to play on their own or in a group. No assistance is needed. Different folding methods (inspired from origami) create multiple ways of playing cards, which creates enormous amount of interest due to its playful character. Cards can be played by a single user or a group by using multiple ways.

1. Each player has a card. The first player opens and sees the information on his own card. After thoroughly seeing it, the first player passes his card to the second player. The second player then asks the first player to identify the road sign on the card, which he had just seen and passed. This is because these children are slow learners and hence it is required to make sure that they remember the road sign information correctly. This activity proceeds turn by turn.

MASTER SHORTLISTED 2. In the scenario explained below, Priya and Rohit have seen and exchanged their cards. Rohit shows the exchanged road sign card and asks Priya to identify. With the advantage of folds, he hides information and shows just a partial part of the upper leaf as shown in the picture below. Each card contains information hidden in between the folds, which is used in displaying partial or semi partial information when the opposite player has to recognize the sign.

3. Priya recalls the answer and spells the word in their standard sign language. For example: Here, ‘SCHOOL’ is being explained using gestures for each alphabet.

Back of the card has letters of the word explained in sign language. This part is designed such that only the player asking the question can see and check the spelling. Rohit can read and match the letters explained by Priya in gestures. If correct, Priya gets the chance to question the next player. 4. If she spells incorrectly, Rohit can open up the next leaf to show her the correct spelling of the visual as shown in the picture below. Name of the road sign is displayed on a triangular shaped fold which metaphorically represents direction. Name of the road sign is also written in hindi to augment familiarity.

5. At the next level, Rohit unfolds the second level of information about the location - where is the road sign found, and what purpose does it serve. This unfolding reveals an illustration with the ‘SCHOOL’ road sign which explains where it is found and how it is positioned on the road. Pictures work as effective learning tools for these challenged ones. Visual clues help them to relate and remember quickly.

Probably, the kids might have seen the road sign board outside their school, but they might not be knowing what it meant. As a single unit, each card contains all road sign information folded into levels on a single paper sheet. What was the effect? This method of playful learning solves the project objective. It benefits the users in various ways: - Easy interface: Effective transfer of information - Complete first hand information on road signs - Enhances road safety and helps in emergency situations - While playing, users practice their standard language of alphabets and composing words - No dependency on teachers/parent to conduct the activity (more playfulness) - Group interaction improves confidence This informative aid has been distributed to a couple of NGOs working for the welfare of deaf and mute children. Also, it is being used in Jyoti Badhir Vidhalaya- special school for deaf and mute children in India. The project went through the understanding of basic needs of deaf and mute users through user studies, concept generation and testing mockups.

Hyperreal Exhibition

What was the challenge? The challenge was to inform visitors of the Hyperreal exhibition at the Ludwig Forum in Aachen, Germany about different topics which had been relevant around 1970 when the hyperrealism took place. The topics were: 1. The Vietnam war 2. Elections in the USA from 1964 till 1980 3. Oil and energy market from 1960 till 2000 4. Consumption growth in the USA from 1970 till 2000 What was the solution? The data which was provided is very complex. To handle all the information a program with the programming language “processing” was written. Four unique programs created posters for the different topics in the format A0 (841x1189 mm).

1. The Vietnam war The goal was to show on the one hand how many soldiers were involved in the Vietnam war and on the other hand how many people protested against the war. One sign stands for 100 people. Green and lightgreen means drafted and stationed soldiers, red for dead or wounded US soldiers. Black for dead ARVN soldiers. Blue for people who participated in protests against the war.

2. Elections in the USA form 1964 till 1980 Every semicircle is about one election. From one line to the next there is a two years step. The horizontal position shows if the election was won by the Republican or the Democratic party. Out of each semicircle there is a line for every state. The three types of elections are connected beneath each other.

What was the effect?

The Museum of Anatolian Civilizations is one of the most important museum in Ankara/Turkey. The Museum occupies two Ottoman buildings which have been renovated and altered to suit their new role. The archaeology of Anatolia from the Paleolithic Age to the present day is displayed by periods in chronological order in the pleasant ambience of Ottoman surroundings. Some of the limitations should be considered while desinging the wayfinding and signages inspite the museum space is a historical building. Desing should less intervene its own historical arcitecture. Besides, the museum, which has a wide variety of collections, has a restiricted space for exhibition. Therefore, wayfinding and signages, information panels should not cause an extra crowd and for sure should not surpass the exhibited items visually as well.

What was the challenge? The Visual Communications program at Washington University culminates in a seminar project to be completed during your senior year. The only parameters for the project are that the final deliverable will be an informational book.

The twin paradox The most mind boggling part of Einstein’s theory is the idea that time is relative. Suppose two observers are inside two different vessels travelling at the same speed, which is 99% of the speed of light. When they each look at the other vessel’s clock, they will find that they do not record time at the same rate. If two

What was the solution? I was interested in the power of clear informational graphics to make complex ideas understandable, so I deliberately decided to focus on an obscure, esoteric topic: Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. After many long, excruciating nights in the library, I proclaimed myself an expert on Einstein’s theory of Relativity, and I wrote and designed this book. It uses clear language, appropriate pacing, and visual models to explain the scientific concepts.

Communicating Fire: Building Relationships and Creating Change

What was the challenge? The Fire Sticks Project aims to respectfully bring attention, recognition and understanding of Traditional Indigenous fire management practices to a wider audience. Aboriginal Australia’s pre-colonial landscape and culture has been shaped by fire to great success. The absence of Aboriginal fire management in contemporary land management contributes to an increase in the intensity and frequency of bush fires. In addition a strategy of hazard reduction and risk mitigation harm natural heritage and threaten the increasingly endangered flora and fauna species. The implementation of integrated Aboriginal fire management practices may help address these impacts by reducing the prevalence and severity of bush fires. The benefit of Traditional Indigenous fire practices is a potential reduction in carbon emissions, the enhancement of biodiversity in ecosystems, greater protection of cultural heritage sites and the revitalisation of Indigenous Ecological Knowledge as a cultural practice. The Aboriginal knowledge system represents an interconnected understanding of the relationship between people, country and spirit. The connection between animals, plants, trees and human action are understood in relation to each other. This sensitivity to the interrelatedness requires the development, not only of changed approaches to visual language elucidations but also the way that design is formed.

Working in this Indigenous-led context necessitated a rethinking of the relationships between participants, knowledge and representation. The A0 poster Communicating Fire: Building Relationships and Creating Change is one component of a participatory process that includes video, photography and sound recording for the documentation of Indigenous Ecological Knowledge with communities on country; in workshops, meetings, presentations; mentoring and skills exchange. The challenge is to create a context for the maintenance and recognition of First Nation’s perspective in western science and landscape management that is inclusive and respectful of the relations between nature and Aboriginal cultures. What was the response/solution? The design of an A0 poster for the Bushfire in the Landscape Conference organized by the Nature Conservation Council of NSW in June 2011 was an opportunity to present information from the Kuku-Thaypan Fire Management Project to a mainstream audience as a conference poster. The process of integrating a diagrammatic representation of the Indigenous knowledge system, with an information design approach, that used photographs and descriptions of the relational connections between people, country and spirit, provided a rich starting point. The diagram, an expression of the KukuThaypan knowledge system has a central triangle with three requirements for appropriate action – knowing what it is; knowing what it does; knowing how do it. Around this central element are the understandings of Kuku Thaypan Elders documented with Peta Standley through the co-generative action reseach project - The Importance of Campfires.

The participants and the development of networks in this project is given prominence through the documentation of the names of attendees at the fire workshops on country between 2004 and 2011. This poster becomes an historical record of the mentorship by Elders from Cape York with Aboriginal communities in NSW through the Traditional Knowledge Revival Pathways and the Fire Sticks Project. What was the effect? This poster affirms the depth of understanding and determination within Aboriginal communities to maintain custodianship of the land. All participating communities have received the poster, and there is discussion to create versions for individual communities to demonstrate the development of the revival of Indigenous Knowledge in specific situations. Attendees at the Bushfire in the Landscape conference were particularly interested in the descriptions of indicators such as dew and the canopy. This is the first step of the process. The visualisation of ecological indicators from an Aboriginal perspective in the Fire Sticks Project supports a practice of ‚reading country‘. Getting to know the country is an integral part of sharing knowledge across communities- Indigenous and non-Indigenous. The poster demonstrates a potential contribution of information design within an expanded field (this may include video, image, text, social situations and media), in Indigenous-led projects, to ensure the revitalisation of traditional burning practices and the recognition of Indigenous Ecological Knowledge in contemporary landscape management.

Coming to know and understand fire requires guidance by Elders and fire knowledge holders through various stages of cultural learning on country. Learning the knowledge through a written or even a visual medium without that learning process on country means that components of the embedded nature of that knowledge in place and people can be misunderstood.

A healthy canopy provides essential food, habitat resources and climate regulation that ultimately all biota rely on.
