The results of user test

v  Clear differences between maps

17 out of the 20 volunteers recognized the differences between both maps. This is a very good result imagining that a subtle difference is noticeable.
vRecognition similarities between symbols and shopping/cultural activity

Not all symbols in the same group where clear to each specific activity. But all the icons together as one group made it clear for the respondents the coherence with the shopping or cultural route.

To figure out which technique is the best to influence the direction of the respondents, different maps were shown.
 Saturation


Transparency

 Shadows
v  Understanding of pointed direction
Among the volunteers, 3 techniques (saturation, transparency and shadows) have been used. The most confusion was caused by using shadows. It was not clear where to start. The best technique was using transparency. Therefore transpiration will be applied in the final design.
