Updates

Stressing out, but trying to keep myself together with this project.

These are photos I took of the signs and maps in Golden Gate Park that I took a while ago. I'm organizing it so that I'm able to show my findings from Golden Gate Park and from other parks around the world. Here are some examples:
Panel of Experts:

So far, I have Design Faculty Professor, Pingo Trogu, helping me out. He is giving me guidance since his expertise is in information graphics and he also work on signage and wayfinding for exhibit gallery, but has knowledge on signage in environment. I been trying to meet with him when I get a chance to show what I have and how to work off it.

I have been leaving messages to other people for Golden Gate Park for information. Gloria Koch Gonzelaz, manager of Golden Gate Park, was nice to leave me a message, telling me she was too busy to talk to me, but left me a number for another contact. I'm still waiting for two contacts to reply back, but I'm worried to not to be impolite to call them many times and bugging them. Any suggestions on how to deal with that?

Research:

Been reading on books and taking notes on it. I'm still continuing it as I slowly start to do sketches on my pro-type in case if I found more information to strength my design work and facts to back myself up.

So that's my update so far, I'll be busy more than ever so hopefully I won't go too crazy for the past weeks, but I'm starting to pull my hair a bit.
