Wayfinding Sign 42
Well there is no better name for a wayfinding sign than the one that you see here – Willerby Hill Site Plan. It’s straightforward about its purpose.
The design of the map is very clear and concise, with the NHS Trust’s buildings in blue, the prohibition of parking on the main road in red (as are all prohibition signs or notices) and then also on the bottom of the sign there is a small section for directional wayfinding to direct people to specific locations.
The sign itself is constructed using 11g aluminium and the sign face is created using wide format printing.

There are many wayfinding signs that give directions, arrows and names that point to a rough area of where to go, but there are also wayfinding signs like this one which is very detailed. It isn’t difficult to follow, and clearly printed it can be ready easily by almost anyone.
The face is created using wide format printing which is then applied to an aluminium composite backboard. Given a further durable vinyl covering it will last several years outside at the University of Huddersfield.

Health Sign
With the majority of NHS signs having a similar appearance, part of the corporate image, this is one that has some variation and adaptation to it.
Clearly you can see the corporate image, but instead of a flat aluminium composite sheet fixed to a wall, this is one that has been formed into a tray. With the wide format printed vinyl applied to the face, it then has some modular components added to let people change the name and/or add names.

Health Sign
By law the health signs that are in the UK, at least as far as the NHS goes, have one uniform colour and design. There is a little leeway on wording and sizes but there are rules on how signage must be designed.
Here you can see an NHS sign that is also a wayfinding sign.
Given that it is an NHS sign as mentioned, this is also a corporate sign because of the NHS logo.

Wayfinding Sign 39
Here is a large wayfinding sign created using wide format printing. The sheet as one piece is covered with an extra piece of durable clear matt vinyl, and then applied to an aluminium composite sheet.
With slightly rounded corners it appears clean and graceful, yet obviously it is a functional wayfinding sign.
Also what seems obvious is the few symbols on the sign, one which you could consider a corporate symbol, and the other obvious symbols on the sign help people to locate the wayfinding end points.

Tactile Sign 10
Tactile signs are, I am afraid to say, something that many sighted people tend to overlook. These are however, found everywhere if you look carefully.
The sign itself is also the endpoint of a wayfinding route. It is made from a large aluminium slat.
The tactile section of the sign, at the bottom, follows regulations and it is firmly and irrevocably affixed to the aluminium.
