Environmental Graphics

Every business needs a sign - “no business sign is a sign of no business”.

Environmental graphics are an essential part of our urban environment and how we find the places we need.

If you are a major medical facility or a small inner city cafe, the same design rules apply and people need information and direction.
Design Post can help your business with wayfinding systems and signage programs.


WAYFINDING SYSTEMS

An effective wayfinding system functions by directing, informing and regulating pedestrian and vehicular traffic throughout buildings and grounds. Such a system promotes efficiency, projects a positive image, and reassures users in an unfamiliar environment.
Design Post works in a thoughtful way trying to see the perspective form the user’s point of view. We design and locate signs based on the first time user experience to insure that a clear understanding of the building layout permits a successful navigation of the premises.

What we do:

• Develop a thorough analysis and propose a strategy for wayfinding.
• Evaluate building and site floor plans and layout.
• Study interior design, architecture and landscape elements that can be incorporated as wayfinding components.
• Meet with key personnel to discuss specific concerns people who know the problems - people who actually use the space.
• Develop numbering systems. And color codes for orientation purposes.
• Propose circulation patterns and wayfinding strategies.

SIGNAGE PROGRAMS

A signage program projects a cohesive image, contributes to smooth functioning, directs people to proper areas and away from restricted access sections, and enhances aesthetic aspects of a space.

Design Post will provide identification, directional, orientation, information and regulatory sign systems design in response to a wayfinding strategy. We include directories and orientation maps, proven tools that help people orient themselves and quickly understand their surroundings to easily reach their final destination. We design donor recognition/donor walls using our creativity to find a functional and aesthetically pleasing way to both acknowledge donors and enhance the space.

What we do:

• Conduct site walkthrough(s).
• Perform photographic survey.
• Evaluate building and site floor plan and layout.
• Design interior and exterior signage systems and components.
• Develop message schedules and sign location plans.
• Signage project management.
• Signage construction & installation
