KATIE RZEMIEN & ERICA TEDESCO STA 462 – Three-Dimensional Design – 12/04/14
The purpose of the environmental system design project at the MSU Museum was to update the existing wayfinding and identity to create a more cohesive, modern, and easy-to-use experience for visitors. We developed a simple, yet dynamic wayfinding and exhibit system to improve the user experience. We implemented the design system by creating a hierarchy of information through the use of color, typography, imagery, and symbols.
