Signage

Akopọ

A sign is read by somebody who is moving, at a distance, in bad light, while worrying about something else. They did not choose to look at it and they will not look at it twice. Everything that makes signage different from other graphic design follows from that one sentence: the type is bigger, the palette is shorter, the words are fewer, and the decision about where to put the sign matters more than how it looks.

This note covers the four kinds of sign, how a wayfinding system is built around the points where people have to decide, how letter height is worked out from viewing distance, what makes a typeface legible at speed, how contrast, materials and mounting behave outdoors, and what accessibility actually requires. You will study systems that guide millions of people daily, and learn to test your own by walking the route.

  1. Develop signage which is both specific and worldwide in its application
  2. Use digital and non-digital methods of making symbols and signs

Akọ̀wé Ẹ̀kọ́

Signage is graphic design installed in a place. Its users are moving through that place with a destination in mind, and its success is measured in whether they arrive without stopping, backtracking or asking. The specification frames this area as developing signage that is both specific and worldwide in its application, using digital and non-digital methods of making symbols and signs, which points at the two halves of the discipline: a system tuned to one building or city, built from a symbol language that anyone can read.
