PUBLIC PARKING: now a designed space?

i think most people have a similar idea about parking garages: bane of driving existence. 

sometimes we find ourselves zigging and zagging around these tall concrete megaliths, turning around enough times to make one dizzy. they are cramped, confusing, and competitive. and most of all, the signage can be quite confusing at times.

not so for Eureka Tower Carpark in Melbourne, Australia. the signs there have been designed with the driver in mind. and by driver, i mean the frustrated and confused person behind the wheel of a vehicle they just paid an arm and a leg to park. 

german graphic designer Axel Peemoeller developed some pretty sweet signage for this parking garage: its color-coded, eye-catching, and HUGE. pretty much idiot-proof. the only catch? you have to be at just the right place to read them. otherwise it just looks like a paint-roller went haywire in the place. 

its interesting that Peemoeller kept in mind that in a space such as a parking garage, everyone traveling through it will ultimately have the same exact perspectives at some point. he kept this in mind when creating his signage.
