Directional Signs

It takes more than just a good map to navigate an unfamiliar space, you need landmarks in order to orient yourself  to the space on the map. Directional signs can help visitors navigate an unfamiliar space. Study the directional maps below.

How does the use of color help visitors understand landmarks and directions?
How could you use these signs if you could not read or didn't understand the language?
How can symbols be used to help communicate?

Assignment: Create a system of directional signs that you could use in your school. Use color, symbol, or alternative languages to help visitors navigate the space. Show the system of colors, symbols and sign design that you would use and match them up to the map you created earlier. Make sure that you could use the system to create any sort of sign needed. Show how your signs would look at 5 intersections. Indicate where and how they will be mounted.
