The Visual Language

PreviousThe TaxonomyNextDigital Channel and the DTPR Data Chain

Last updated 1 year ago

The visual language of DPTR consists of five components:

Shapes

These shapes form the container for the core visual components of DTPR and are associated with categories of the taxonomy as follows

  1. Hexagons > Purpose and Technology. Hexagons are also the shapes that you will typically feature on physical signage for DTPR. These shapes are typically arranged in a HoneyComb on signage for ease of association with the concepts.

  2. Circles > Data and Processing

  3. Squares > Storage and Access

Colour

Used within a Shape and denotes the following:

  1. Yellow - Indicates the collection of .

  2. Blue - Used for , where personally identifiable information is collected, but no sensitive data that could identify an individual is retained.

  3. White - Denotes scenarios where no personal identification data is collected

Icons

Developed to indicate specifics of purpose, technology, data, processing, storage and access. More detailed information on the visual language and its application as part of DTPR can be found later in this document, specifically in the Signage Guidelines and Why DTPR sections.

The latest version of the taxonomy and its corresponding icons can be directly downloaded from . Simply right-click on the icons and choose to save them on your computer to access them.

Text

Our research showed that as we move towards establishing a global standard, the public still benefits from text accompanying the visual language, both on signage and as part of the digital channel.

QR Code

QR codes are used as part of the visual language to provide a gateway to digital channels associated with DTPR, either custom webpages depending location, or the Helpful Places guide application.
