Design Swan discussed 8 Creative Metro Map themed designs on it’s blog. Who created them, and what was the idea behind it’s creation? We thought we could contribute to the subject by showing you a 9th design:

It’s ID/Lab’s website intro page which has indeed been based on the famous metro map. It goes well with what we do: Wayfinding/Wayshowing.

When we started the development of our website design, we set out to make the ease of navigation stand out…..  We thought it was important that you understand where you are at every step of the way, and can easily jump from one ‘destination’ to another.  You can choose between the “Projects”, “What we do” or “Profile” line. When you click on a project or subject name the coloured line moves with you to your chosen ID/Lab destination!

On the “project” line, once you have selected your destination, the sub-stations show-up:

Have a look, enjoy the ride and have a safe trip!

ID/Lab is working with Parks Victoria (as part of the Taylor Cullity Lethlean team) on the development of a wayshowing system for the Point Nepean National Park site.

Point Nepean National Park is a popular tourist destination. Besides spectacular ocean scenery, the park is home to Fort Nepean, established in 1882, and the historic Quarantine Station first established in 1852, which was closed to the public for almost 150 years. It is located about 100km South of Melbourne.

Point Nepean NP presents a fabulous opportunity for ‘story-telling’. The wayshowing system should not only be a functional navigation tool, but enhance the visitors’ planning & experience by divulging the myriad of stories the site has to offer – historical, ecological, recreational. Online, hand-held and real-world experiences will all be considered and integrated to provide for a wayshowing system that invites the user to explore the park physically and educationally.
