Each location will have more than one pictogram. These pictograms will be used in the form of a puzzle and each puzzle will need to be fairly easily worked out in order for my wayfinding system to work. Because of this at least one of the pictograms for each location will need to be quite obvious. This stops my way finding system being too abstract, as if this happened then it would not be successful or be able to be put into use.
The other pictogram(s) I plan to be more abstract to keep the puzzle working, and the system to still require brainpower for people to successfully follow it.
For initial sketches I looked at making my icons more modern - using block shapes as my symbols. I chose to discard this idea when I looked at Walter Crane - however I still wanted to make my symbols appear more modern than a regular Victorian illustration.
