Wayfinding needs to work for people under stress, with accessible type and unambiguous room names
What to print
Choose each piece for the moment someone will use it. A long guide can answer detailed questions; a sign or card should carry only the message that needs to be seen quickly.
- directional signs
- appointment cards
- information leaflets
- wall notices
Plan the job before artwork starts
Define the audience and place
Say who will read each item and where: at a desk, in a window, outdoors, in a meeting or by post. This determines reading distance, size and stock.
Separate stable from changing information
Approve the wayfinding hierarchy on a floor plan before producing individual signs. Decide what can be reused and what needs a short, replaceable print run.
Set quantities and milestones
Count destinations and versions, then include time for proofing, finishing, delivery or collection at our Warrington address. Give the actual date the material must be in use.
Check the final file
Confirm accessible language, approved service names and the exact site layout. Reopen the exported PDF at final size and inspect every page or panel before approving print.
A practical brief for gp and community clinics
Tell us the item, size, number of versions, quantity per version, location of use, desired finish and deadline. Include the person who will approve the final wording. If installation, mailing or a specialist material is part of the brief, describe the environment so we can confirm the right route.
