A signage strategy is far more than simply a set of symbols. Including its practical application, it may help to develop an identity for a space and may also add decorative flair to any built environment.

He first describes the fundamental rules of signage design: signs have to be visible but is not distracting, informative but not unwieldy, and concise however , not confusing. Striking the correct balance is vital. Color, typography, pictograms, and icons are generally elements that can be varied and exploited to encapsulate the maximum amount of information as is possible and fit the job’s requirements: the signage to find a hospital, an airport, maybe a conference center sometimes have little in common, and solutions ought to be tailored to fit the spot.

The book showcases great types of signage design worldwide, by having an emphasis on the most original approaches. It is an indispensable reference for communications designers in conjunction with a must for architects, interior designers, and graphic artists. 250+ color and 250 b/w illustrations and photographs

I enjoyed read­ing and tak­ing a detailed look at the projects spo­ken this particular pro­fes­sional source book and with most of the described sig­nage projects are a spe­cific details by the design­ers. A truly great sig­nage book, a total must have.

The 336 count­ing pages book has a hard cover and is 28,5 x 24 cm. The pages read well and quickly you can find what you are look­ing for by the index. The text lay­out and choose of typog­ra­phy fits well and reads great, designed in a grid way (sim­i­lar to how sig­nage is designed). Andreas Uebele is a well known designer with the design iden­tity agency in Ger­many “Büro Uebele”. They've man­aged to design many sig­nage & infor­ma­tion graph­ics projects in the last years, from air­ports, offices, library and more. The author describes the fol­low­ing ele­ments of sig­nage design:

* Sig­nage design, typog­ra­phy and the way to choose a typeface
