OVERVIEW

About wayfinding & directional

Wayfinding is the process of getting from place to place, and as a signage discipline it sits close to architecture and environmental design. At its best it becomes part of the visitor experience. At its worst it becomes a frustrating distraction. The challenge is to create clear, functional visuals without diluting the basic job of helping people navigate.

That matters most in museums, galleries, attractions and events, where satisfaction often depends on how easily guests can move through the space. It applies just as much to offices, plants and commercial sites. Visitors should be able to explore without disorientation or anxiety, regardless of differences in physical or cognitive ability, language or past experience.
