Accessibility & Functionality of Drinking Fountains is set in Abadi MT tpeface designed by Ong Chong Wah and Cuprum typeface by Jovanny Lemonad. The book was sent to Blur t in San Francisco to be printed. The whole book was designed on an Apple Macintosh computer in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.
Preface Accessibility & Functionality of Drinking Fountains on Lincoln, NE Trails is a book that was written to bring knowledge to the active people of Lincoln, NE that use the bike trails. The information in this book could be useful to all citizens of Lincoln, NE but the main audience are trail users. This book star ted as an assignment for Advanced Graphic Design 421. We were assigned to do research on different water system themes. Then, we had to choose a specific topic to research. I sat down and tried to think of something that was interesting to me and that I would enjoy learning about. Instantly I thought about nourishment and staying hydrated while exercising. I had to narrow it down to something more specific, so I chose to research drinking fountains on the main trails of Lincoln. I owe a special thanks to Stacy Asher for her guidance during this process. It was a long process but the things she taught in the classroom were very beneficial. I believe this experience gave me a stronger understanding of book design.
Introduction This book will take you through the process of my research and all the way to the process of building my book. Accessibility & Functionality of Drinking Fountains on Lincoln, NE Trails had a lot of work put into it to make it happen. My research star ted in August. I biked the main trails of Lincoln with a map to mark the location of every fountain. I took notes on its functionality along with the location to figure out accessibility. By the time this was finished, I figured out the streets where the fountains were located and created a quantitative map. The purpose of the quantitative map is to show exact location of each fountain. At the bottom of the map, you can find the distance between each fountain. After creating the quantitative map, I had to collect the data from the rest of the information I gathered. This information consisted of how well the fountain worked and how far away from the trail it was. With this information I created a qualitative map. The qualitative map displays a lot of information in a char t to make it easier to read. The main par t of this book lays out visual images of each fountain with a focus on the things that make each fountain accessible and functional.
Foreword During the Fall Semester 2013 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, students of “Advanced Graphic Design and Design Studio 421” authored a collection of maps, charts and diagrams that centered around the concept of “Water and System.” Each designed artifact addressed aspects of individual design research and illustrates various methods of investigation. Projects engaged students in the invention of unique graphic systems that visualize information about water. The designs represent quantitative and qualitative narratives and illustrate individual perspectives and interests. These visual displays of water system were compiled into an atlas - a book of maps, charts, illustrations, or diagrams united by the subject of water and system. The atlas represents a coordinated body of methods, a scheme or plan of procedure that was used to organize date from design research. Various production methods were considered and students were encouraged to explore a wide variety of media and design strategies. These methods were evaluated on their effectiveness as generators of visual information with respect to their project goals and intended meanings. by Stacy Asher (Assistant Professor of Art) Advanced Graphic Design Fall 2013

STUDY OF WATER SYSTEMS During step one of my atlas, I studied water systems by documenting the ways I used water in my every day life. I did this by taking pictures and finding pictures online of anything that had to deal with water. I posted all the pictures on my google drive for others to see. After taking pictures, I read through an article assigned to us in class. It was a scholarly article called “The Beholding Eye�. I thorougly read and took notes over the articles to better understand what each water system meant.

GATHERING DATA
Step two started with finding all the fountains along the main Lincoln trails. I took pictures of every fountain along with the bathroom, park, or shelter it was near. I used the Lincoln Trails map to map out the location of each fountain. I made note of the water temperature, cleanliness, distance from trail, distance from the closest fountains, whether it’s leaking or not, and the water pressure. I used the Map My Run app on my phone to get accurate measurements of the distance between each fountain. Our next step was to do an in-process zine. The zine was a way for us to show the information we had found so far during our research.

3 QUANTITATIVE MAP I started step three by finding my color palette for my designs. I found a couple palettes that I liked and pulled colors out of them. I wanted colors that had an earth tone. Typography was another concept I took time to research. After doing design research, I started to design my own map. A classmate, Nolan King, gave me a map of all the trails he traced from the original Lincoln trail map. Then, I organized the placement of the drinking fountains on each trail. We had an in-progress critique with Ed Fella to help us make some final decisions. The next step was to think about the feedback we received and finish the final design.

Color Palette I knew right away that I wanted my color palette to be earth tones. I thought this was the best decision beause my project had to deal with the outdoors. All the Lincoln trails are paths that run through trees so there’s a lot of nature. I found my colors by googling earth tones. Then, I grabbed about three different palettes and took colors from each palette that I thought would best fit the palette.

Typography Study My typography study started with finidng multiple fonts on dafont.com. I took each font and tested them with the same title I uesd as my map. I started to narrow them down until I chose the one that worked best with the map. I used the same font for both maps to keep my designs consistent. The one I ended up using is the dominant one on the page to the right.

Bike Paths The bike paths were part of my progress when designing my map. I had to decide which paths I wanted to include on the poster and which ones to do my research on. Then, the paths I decided to do, I had to use my color palette to highlight them. It took a while to decide was point size would work with all the lines so they wouldn’t get confused with the other trails.

In-Progress Map The original size of this poster is 17.5 x 25 in. This is the map I hung up in class for an in-progress critique. If you compare it to my final map, you can really see the progress between this one and the final. Below are pictures of our critique. We had a quest visitor come in, Ed Fella, he gave us a little advie on design and made a few comments about each map.

The first picture shows preparing by fixing the lighting so it shines just right on our posters. We took about five minutes each presenting our work. I explained what I did and why, then I got feedback on way I could make it better. On the next couple pages are close ups of the top and bottom of my map and explanations of each.

Final Map (Top) The top of my map was a way to show an overview of all Lincoln trails. I wanted people to know which fountains had restrooms and parks in the same area. Each trail is labeled with the name of the trail. Also, the trails each have their own color so it’s easier to tell where the trail stops and begins. The key shows which symbols represent the working/not working fountains and bathrooms.

Final Map (Bottom) The bottom of the map shows a grid system of each trail. It individually shows each trail and all the fountains found on the trail. Not every trail has a drinking fountain on it, so I used an x to represent no drinking fountains. For the ones with multiple fountains, you can figure out the distance between each one. The trails are not scaled to size.

4 QUALITATIVE MAP Step 4 was designing the Qualitative Map. I started with organizing my information that I gathered at the beginning of this project. Once I get a feel of what I wanted to do, I did a gradient study. I chose colors I wanted to represent different categories about the fountains. The last part was putting my design together and coming up with a final design.

Organizing Research I used illustrator to gather and organize all of my thoughts. I organized all of my information I gathered from research at the beginning of the semester. I found the location and park of each fountain. Then, I added all the details that I had taken notes about. Most of the things included here, are the descriptions I had on the fountains in Chapter 2.

Gradient Study I had to do a gradient study for my qualitative map. I used the gradients to represent cleanliness, temperature, leaking/no leaking, and the distance from the trail. The fountains that had the darker colors for each category represented their lack of accessability and functionality. The fountains with the lighter colors represented the opposite.

83
Final Map I used the qualitative map to organize all the information I gathered into a readable chart. I first made a key of each trail and paired it with a color. Then, I took the outline of all the fountains and placed them next to the color of the trail they belong on. In each fountain’s category I placed the location, name of park, and type of park or area it’s in. The next part is where I used my gradient study to focus on the cleanliness, distance, leaking/no leaking, and temperature.

Conclusion After the long research process and the compiling of all my information, I created a very thorough book on drinking fountains. I have concluded that the majority of the Lincoln, NE trails do not have enough drinking fountains. The bike trails consist of many active people. More drinking fountains could benfefit their hydration and nourishment needs. Also, if there’s a fountain, it might as well be useful and have running water. It was interesting to see all the different styles of fountains that were on the trails. It’s something I never paid attention to until I did this project. This was the biggest research project I’ve ever done, along with the first book I’ve designed. I think it was a very good learning process and I’ve learned a lot throughout the process.
