Wayfinding System
2023
Man, I sure am lost… if only I had someone to guide the way.
Wait a minute — who’s that?
These two pigeons are Lotta and Gurrstav, two charming birds here to guide us through the city of Graz. This project focused on designing a wayfinding system to help people navigate the city. I came up with the idea of using these two friendly pigeons as visual guides leading pedestrians from the main train station on a looping route through Graz.
Each sign features a custom illustration of the pigeons, tailored to the specific location it appears in. The icons are stylized yet simple, using vibrant colors to make them easy to spot and recognizable from a distance. The goal was to create a system that not only helps people find their way but also adds a playful and approachable touch to the cityscape — making exploration both intuitive and fun for locals and visitors alike.
