Pictographs for you to use!
Speaking of the National Park Service, clicking around their site, I found out that they have released a series of pictographs, symbols, arrows, and other map graphics, and all are free to use, because they're the product of the federal government, and in the United States that means it's in the public domain! You can get the imagery in PDF or Illustrator. This rocks pretty hard.
You can also download the map from any National Park brochure.
IDEA Conference Program Final
With the recent addition of Dave Cronin (interaction designer from Cooper, contributed to the GettyGuide kiosks and audio players) and the return of the National Park Service (design planner David Guiney), the IDEA conference program is now final!
As I mentioned in the latest IDEA blog post, we have an amazing array of contributors -- designers, authors, technologists, artists, librarians. This multi-disciplinary approach will allow us to address the challenge of complex information spaces from a range of perspectives, and force us to remove our blinkers and broaden our vision.
There are 10 days remaining for the discounted registration. I hope to see you there!
