To help uses to distinguish between these two versions of circles, we add three elements in our design: color contrast, size contrast and shadow change. In the route P for shopping, we make icons for shops larger yellow circles, while the icons for museums are smaller and grey. When seeing the image, users’ attention will be attracted by the yellow ones, and choose the anti-clockwise direction. Besides, the upper left shadow indicates the light sources comes from bottom right direction and attracts users to choose the anti-clockwise direction. While in route T, elements are entirely opposed, hints for clockwise direction will be more obvious.
In our progress for designing the map, we make several versions and test the function of shadow and color. The color contrast works better than shadow change. Some users even feel nothing about the change of shadow.
