Wayfinding Planning
From the survey and project brief, we apply ourselves to further define and understand the needs of all user groups.
Visitors, staff, suppliers, clients - to gain a ‘feel’ for the environment and address the major issues of identity/marketing, budget, deadlines and key areas of concern.
Carry out a review and appraisal with site analysis.
- Wayfinding
- Methodology - Methods of providing information i.e. Location Maps, Directories, Department signs, Directional, Information Notices, Door & Safety signs.
- Information Needs
Who are the users? What do they need to know?
How much information can they realistically retain at various stages - Product
Product form and type.
Appropriate to environment, users, vandal resistance, weather and flexibility - Graphics
Typeface, contrasts, corporate image, pictograms & symbols, use of colour etc.
The collation of all of the above into a detailed sign schedule ‘WayfinderReport’, which becomes a working document for the client, to implement phases & budget and to manage future change.
