Identify a famous person through a street plate

WHAT?

Public spaces in a city are one of the most important parts of the environment. Streets are the simplest example of public spaces, where people get the first impression of city. Weimar as a cultural city has many places which are belonged to artists, authors, philosophers etc. I wanted to do a design work to declare these famous people to tourists and citizens. I decided to use street plates as a tourist information icon.

Idea

In Weimar I am interested about some street signs has an extra explanation about the name of street which is belongs the famous person, that who is he or she.I decided to design new way to indicate these explanation of these streets in weimar with new style and new media such as mobile device, "QR" (passengers and tourists can scan these codes and get information about the famous name onstreet and even get direction in different languages).

Early probe

I looked around the city and streets , took pictures from signs , even houses and shops.

+'''WHAT?'''
-A street sign is a type of traffic sign used to identify named roads. Street signs are most often found posted at intersections, and are usually in perpendicularly oriented pairs identifying each of the crossing streets. Modern street signs are mounted on either utility poles or smaller purpose-made sign poles, or hung over intersections from overhead supports like wires or pylons.
-Most streets have a sign at each intersection to indicate the name of the road. The design and style of the sign is usually common to the district in which it appears. The sign has the street name and sometimes other information, such as the block number or the name of the in which the street is located. Such signs are, on famously named streets. Usually, the color scheme used on the sign just reflects the local standard. However, in some cases, the color of a sign can provide information, as well. Other places sometimes use blue or white signs to indicate streets name.
