Wayfinding for Wildberries suppliers

Ilya Birman — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 14:09:13 +0500

Check out a new large project: wayfinding for suppliers of Wildberries, the largest Russian online retailer.

Wayfinding is not about drawing signs, but about streamlining the whole scenario of how people find something, and even how they understand what they need to look for. The project included signage, maps, printed instructions, a mobile website, an LED board, and a banner. And that’s all systematized for multiple warehouses.

Paris in July 2024

Robert — Sat, 14 Sep 2024 13:29:24 +0500

Robert:

Paris was much cleaner than I foredeemed, both on the week before the Olympics in July, and in early September as well.

This train is goïng to Pont de Sèvres. But instead of lighting up previous stations, the linear metro map lights up those the train is yet to stop at. The opposite of a progress bar!

For residents’ tranquility, please do not throw away glass bottles between 22⁰⁰ and 7⁰⁰. Very thoughtful!

First of all, the euphoric smell is still there. I didn’t find it as common as in 2020 and before, but it does come from the Tube and it also came from a bus. May it stay.

Having arrived in the UK for the first time in three and a half years, I recorded my first feelings:

Wayfinding in Dolceacqua

Robert:

Lines on a circle-shaped square point to where the landmarks are. This kind of wayfinding is perfect for a lovely medieval village like Dolceacqua: it’s useful yet unintrusive.
