below are my finished sign post (first image) and information board (second image). i wanted the signs to be made of wood as it shows respect to the surrounding countryside and forest.
Current Historic Trail Leaflets: All of the leaflets are well designed and fit the style a historic trail would present but they all look the same, they all have the same colours, similar layouts and similar fonts used. I want to try and design something which still fits in with the historic trail persona but is a more visually stimulating and stands out over these boring leaflets. I want to try and bring more photography into the leaflet as i feel the trail in which the leaflet is for is such a beautiful place that no illustration could really do it justice. For this i will walk some of the trail myself and take photos as i do, these photos i will then edit and include in the leaflet. Also using photographs brings a sense of maturity which i think this trail needs, i wouldn't want to try and illustrate the leaflet and end up with it damaging the character in which a historic trail has. Below are inspirations i have found from other leaflets...
i now have the final designs sketched out and in colour for my info and sign post. i now need to get them onto screen and fully render them. below is a blank prototype for the leaflet showing how it will fold out. it will have a removable strap which you can take off. it will work like a book but the second page will fold out into an A3 map. i wanted to keep it legible and easy to follow but with a big enough map to help older people and younger kids read it.
