Assessment/ Understanding First we understand you. Then your space. And the opportunities to create an intuitive navigation system
Breaking complex floor plans down into understandable and navigable units
Organize the information into a hierarchy or layers (i.e. what information is most important, what happens first etc)
Identify key decision points and the information needs at each
Design for the right level of detail (does a destination have sufficient traffic to be identified in the wayfinding system)
Review electronic maps and directions and printed materials for accuracy and consistency
Present the layers in a consistent and predictable way (i.e. uniform sign types, consistent position, color etc)
Assure that the volume of information at each point is optimal
Address clutter and manage temporary information (dated or unnecessary signs, bulletin boards etc)
Train to assure optimum performance from the wayfinding system
Wayfinding Building Blocks
While every project is different, these fundamentals comprise virtually every wayfinding undertaking.
Environmental graphic design + a sign factory.
Takeform’s seamless design-build solution means you have single point accountability. Plus, your project goes faster and costs less. And we understand manufacturing – so we won’t design a sign system that you can’t afford. Most importantly, our approach assures you the after-sale support so often missing when sign design and fabrication are “disconnected”.
