Week 7 Reading

Summary
Since the last set of reading was about wayfinding systems, this chapter about printed material and visual navigation, i felt there were many parallels between the two. When a reader is revisiting a magazine or referencing an archived paper, it makes it so much simpler if there are consistencies between them. The consistencies talked about were fonts, icons, sizes, grid systems, and other layout styles. These are the same issues and design problems that the wayfinding chapter sought to solve. The "Emotion + Information" graphic was sweet though, and presented an interesting approach to presenting information. But it's also just like a pretty wrapped present with coal inside, it looks good, but whats inside is still boring. Haha, i dont know if that worked like i meant it too, but it's funny to look back on.
