I was working on a project at Disney several years back when I learned a design technique they used called footprints in the snow. What they would do is set the landscaping and then after a while, they’d come back and look at all the areas that were beaten down by foot traffic. That’s were people really want to walk.
So what they’d do is redo where all the paths were so that they matched where people wanted to walk. This is a different strategy than putting up fences or keep off the grass signs. I think it’s a good technique for a lot things. If people aren’t doing what you want, take a look at the footprints in the snow and make some changes.
Wow. I had never thought about where people put paths. I am going to keep that in mind. Monk is a really good show, but I have a looong way to go before I come anywhere close. Washing my hands 50 times a day would be really difficult considering I barely have time to wolf down lunch. That’s school for you.
Thanks for visiting my blog!
