Axel Peemoeller’s Funky Parking Garage
August 7th, 2008
Check out this incredibly clever use of perspective. Axel Peemoeller’s wayfinding system only delivers the message to the people that need to see it – and with massive colorful letters that are impossible to miss. From the designer:
In Melbourne I developed a way-finding-system for the Eureka Tower Carpark while working for Emery Studio. The distored letters on the wall can be read perfectly when standing at the right position. This project won several international design awards.
Also, it is worth checking out Axel’s main page here – he has some nice graphic design work. By the way, his name is definitely Axel, not Alex. I was going to say it is “Axel – like the rose” but then found out that that is actually Axl. And of course there is the axle on your car. Either way, I am a big fan of both Axel’s garage and his name, which is apparently somewhat common in certain parts of the world.

I think “Axl” was, perhaps, a little before your time. But you probably heard your fair share of it blasting from Grant’s bedroom…

Wow. That really is very, very cool.

Jeff – yeh, lets see. Late 80’s…the sound from the stereo was probably making it hard for me to watch an episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But who doesn’t like heroes in a half-shell?
Jan – Welcome back, hope our “Happy Homemaker” is doing well!
