Create an effective wayfinding sign

Effective wayfinding signage helps create a more streamlined, organised navigation experience, getting people where they need to be quickly.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when creating yours:

Keep it simple
Focus on the most important information and make sure it is clear and concise.

Location is important
Place wayfinding signs and graphics where they are most likely to be useful, especially in high volume places where confusion can easily occur.

Functionality
