This floor graphics design and a mobile webpage is a reponse to a brief from museum of Sydney, which asked students to visually communicate historical stories of the site through environmental graphic concepts. I chose to place my designs at the forecourt area of the museum to attract pedestrian's eyes.
Hyde Park Barracks has been a crossroad for different groups of people, and accumulated layers of history as it transformed from a convict barrack to an immigration depot, government courts and now a museum. The footprints represents and acknowledges groups of people who went through this place and gives hints to pedestrians about the context of the site, attracts them to come inside. As people walk along the footprints, they will access the mobile webpage which offers more information about the footprints and installation around the museum. The design is focusing on lowering the barriers to entry to make people feel comfortable to come inside.
