Campus signage provides important navigational information, and it reflects an institution's image. Creating a signage system using strategically planned design methodology, precision fabrication, plus well-planned placement, enhances a campus environment. This helps create a positive experience for visitors and prospective students. An effective and cohesive signage system heightens the excitement of a vibrant and creative institution; on the other hand, a proliferation of wordy signs in unmatched shapes, colors, materials and typefaces creates visual clutter and confusion. This article presents several tips for creating informative campus signage.
