Graphics 3 Assessment 2 - Deploying Narratives: Interpretation and Wayfinding




Moore Park has long fostered community through green spaces and recreational venues. A new wayfinding system, launching in 2026, will guide visitors from the Entertainment Quarter to the Bear Pit, through the golf club, and into a new public park replacing 20 hectares of golf course. This project honours the Gadigal people through the regeneration of the Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub (ESBS). Signage will offer intuitive navigation while showcasing native species, storytelling, and QR-linked educational content. 

A vibrant grid motif symbolises ecological renewal, with a unifying archway celebrating connection. This system blends functionality, cultural respect, and environmental awareness.


   





Journey



The journey begins at the Entertainment Quarter and will finish at Gadigal Park.

At each destination marked by a coloured circle, there will be a destination sign providing community members with a brief overview of the location.

Along the journey, directional signage will guide users along the journey towards their next destination, with trail markers strategically placed to ensure the correct path is followed.





Colour Palette


When creating my refined colour palette, my primary goal was to invoke a sense of vibrancy and vitality. I took inspiration from the warm, earthy tones that can be witnessed in the ESBS, however avoided
taking exact swatches. The purposeful juxtaposition between colour and grey is symbolic for the regeneration of the ESBS in the new public park. For the design of the destinational signage, each colour corresponds with a species of ESBS. The design of the ‘Gadigal Park’ sign brings all of these bright colours together, as a symbol for the interconnectedness of the ecosystem.

Destinational Signage










For the final destination - Gadigal Park - I chose to bring all the colours together as symbolic of the interconnectedness of the ESBS and the variety of species within it. I focused purely on the square motif with this sign as opposed to including various images of the ESBS, which may have overwhelmed the poster. I believe this poster could also be utilised as a logo due to its simplicity.

Dimensions



The signage uses recycled aluminium panels, chosen for their durability, weather resistance, and recyclability. A water-based acrylic coating protects against UV, moisture, and mould, while releasing fewer harmful VOCs than standard coatings. The signage’s square-based design ensures consistency while minimising material waste, balancing sustainability with clarity and visibility.

Education


QR codes will be placed strategically throughout the park, which when scanned, will direct users to a ‘Species Spotlight’ webpage. This webpage will provide a basic description of a specific ESBS species, its cultural significance to the Gadigal people, fun facts, and an opportunity to donate to the regeneration effort.







Archway

Visitors enter Gadigal Park through a spherical archway adorned with coloured grid squares, symbolising the rich biodiversity of the Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub. Made from recycled acrylic, the archway is both durable and environmentally conscious. More than a structural feature, it acts as a welcoming gesture and a call to reflect, learn, and celebrate diversity within the regenerated landscape.
