 Modern day representations of figures have been brought to the fore again by such designers as Nigel Holmes. He uses additional graphic ‘helpers’ to help viewers ‘digest’ in formation easier.

 

 Neurath influenced by Egyptian tomb hyroglyphs and bold flat colours. He like strong, simplified shapes.

 The use of graphics dates back to prehistoric times, in some cases going back 40,000 years in the form of cave paintings.

Graphical representation of polls or statistics has been commonplace since the 1930’s in such magazines as ‘Fortune’ and company reports etc. This example above is for American Airlines and shows spending during 1940.

 Some examples of color combinations.

 Inspiration for the fingerpost. The front green shape was used in one of the early designs for my fingerpost. The idea was to use it for space for the route to the hills logo.

 Main example for the information post design. I like how they have used 2 signs on top of each other.

And example of an signage hierarchy design.

Principles for effective wayfinding include:

• Create an identity at each location, different from all others.
• Use landmarks to provide orientation cues and memorable locations.
• Create well-structured paths.
• Create regions of differing visual character.
• Don't give the user too many choices in navigation.
• Use survey views (give navigators a vista or map).
• Provide signs at decision points to help wayfinding decisions.
• Use sight lines to show what's ahead.
