 * People: Figures to include in drawings and photo collages**

Here is a folder with various images of people: kids, adults, male, female and even a few dogs. You should include one or two figures with scale drawings for reference and context. Including people also makes your proposed design seem more "real" and credible.

It also helps to have people in natural or active positions with contemporary clothing and regular body types. Some images included in the folder are in colour, others are black or grey silhouettes. It is best to make the figures subtle so they are present but not too dominant. Often people make the mistake of using black, filled figures and they are too strong. Below are some examples of how you can use a photographic image, silhouette or outline.



//The original image in full colour is too strong; you can fade the colour image or convert it to greyscale and// //decrease the opacity.//

//The original file is a black sihouette, decreasing the saturation creates a greyscale version that is less dominant.//

//You can also outline the photographic figures. You can see how they don't compete with the elements.//

//// The following file has examples of photo collage techniques and drawings that you can use to represent the elements within your wayfinding system.
