Usually, Interpretive Signs are found in public places such as parks, museums, visitor centers, historical buildings, theme parks, tourism sites, nature trails, and the like. They are used to help visitors understand the historical or culture significance associated with the specific site. As such, they are designed to keep the reader’s attention and be easily understood, e.g. be user friendly and effective in the way that they communicate information. They are typically designed to draw the reader in, yet not distract from the significant features of the particular site.
Part of the design process is to make sure the sign type and materials selected blend well with the environment and site location. Because these signs are often used outdoors durability is extremely important, as is the ease with which graffiti can be removed. The type and variety of choices associated with interpretive signs is quite broad but the experts at SignWorks are available to help your organization or agency with the selection process.
