Final Crit
Times and Clarendon most appropriate for Corn Exchange as people agreed the classic and traditional style associates with the building well. Personally I think Clarendon is bolder and consistent in stroke width which makes it legible on a range of scales. It was suggested that I should add pictograms to the genre of shop, such as jewellery, fashion and food. However, I thought this would be too confusing for the audience so decided it would be appropriate for just cafes and restaurants to have pictograms. This is because people would be able to immediately differentiate shops from food.
I suggested some places where my map could be put into context to see if people agreed and could suggest any other mediums. It was agreed that the floor plan could be shown on a glass panel in the entrance, however it may be hard to see if the glass was completely see through. People thought that the composition would work well printed on a leaflet, roughly A5 size that people can pick out at the door and at stations around the building such as at the top and bottom of stairways.
I was debating whether to keep the circle in the centre of the type because I thought it pushed the type away. However, people thought it needed to be grey and was required in order to show the entrance.
