Description

This is a map of the blue light system on NCSU campus. This map is supposed to show the locations of every emergency blue light phone on main campus. However, even I as an NCSU student have no idea what this map is trying to show without context; there are only pushpins in a random formation. Sure, the pushpins are blue with telephones on them, but to anyone it looks like the locations of public telephones--not the emergency devices. This was a design flaw for sure, because even the people that are supposed to be in "the know" have no idea what's going on. You can't even tell this is NC State!
