COCA WAYFINDING BUILDING DESIGN

The graphic wayfinding that we usually see are things that consist of text, pictograms, maps, photographers, models, and diagrams. When working with graphic wayfinding all text must be consistent so that it can be readable. It must also be very legible and not too complex to understand in a hurry. Use pictures when ever you can instead of text. Use understandable colors that are no too flashy or too harsh on the eyes. Make sure there is no glare on the signage when trying to read it. The orientation of the wayfinding design is also very important. It should correspond with the direction and setting of the people. Add key landmarks to help people identify where they are. Don’t forget to add labels to help with direction and destination. Make sure that all signs and maps are tilted in the right way s that people will be able to easily see them. When working withDirectional information make sure that again the text size is all the same and legible. Always do lighter letters on a darker background to help read and look better. Make sure you have a constant style throughout the who wayfinding design system. When working with destination information it usually has to deal with building signs, floor numbers, and room identifiers. For these types of signs make sure you have a clear numbering system,, make the room numbers known and easy to find, and don’t forget to make signs for things like bathrooms.
