Seattle Library

I was in Seattle this past weekend for the first time. I had a really nice weekend and the weather was baa-u-ta-ful. The Seattle public library is an awesome example of architecture, environmental design, and graphic design all working well together.
The light streaming into the building was really nice and created a nice atmosphere for studying and reading.

This is the most unique exculator i've ever seen! The green color pop makes it easy to find and the tone on tone graphics are nice.
Simple large typography becomes a beautiful way-finding system.
The gift shop had a cool structure. Each of the shelfs rolls out along a track when it is open to create aisles.

so i really like the big letters that label stuff, it gives a lot of freedom for you to be more creative with your structural design becuase you are not limited to being clique to avoid confusion. I will use this in my future.
