Parking signs are confusing. But do they have to be?
To Park or Not to Park? is a guerrilla parking sign redesign project run by interaction designer and concerned citizen Nikki Sylianteng. After getting one too many tickets, she wondered why parking signs had to be so complicated and thought there must be a better way. Curious if it made sense to other drivers, she started by posting redesigned signs under existing ones, with comment boxes and markers so drivers could write down their thoughts. After multiple iterations based on feedback, the signs have become part of the agenda at city council meetings, and the cities of Los Angeles and Brisbane are piloting them. The project has also been shortlisted for Fast Company's Innovation By Design Awards.
Join us at SVA's Interaction Design program for an evening with Nikki as she touches on the power of curiosity, naiveté, and the value of questioning "the way things are".
