Markers
These sketches accompanied an article in Ottagono about losa Ghini Associati's involvement in the rebranding initiatives of Alitalia, the Italian airline; designing kiosks, waiting areas and check-in desks. Their designs have been realized at Turin airport in time for last winter's Olympics, and plans are underway for sites at Rome Fiumicino airport.
Colour was an important design feature, and these quick perspective marker sketches show just how easy it can be to demonstrate ideas in this this medium. I also like the way that people are indicated so transparently with a few deft lines.
Maybe pantone markers (as some people call them) are seen as a tool for product/industrial designers, but I don't see why interior designers/architects shouldn't make good use of them as well.
They are pricey though. ¶ 10:18 AM
