WEEK 21: SIGNAGE SCHEDULES





This week has been filled with the the same thing throughout. I have been working on the Symphony Way Day Centre signage for a while now.

The signage basically consists of all the important door and directional signage around the structure to make navigation easier. What I have to do is draw up each sign individually as the doors have different signs according to their location, type and sizes. The client (Western Cape Health Department) has been a bit of a problem when it comes to delivery of what is required in order to complete the task at hand. They are required to submit pictograms that are supposed to go with the signage but alas, some are missing and some are incorrect. 

The task has been a new experience to me as I haven't done anything like this as far as schedules are concerned. I was not even aware that architects have to face the responsibility if doing this in the first place. But then again, of course we are jacks of all trades. 
So what I have been busy with this week is compiling the signage with my nonexistent graphic design experience in order to make 1:1 scale mock-ups to manually paste on site for the signage company to copy from. That means printing out the big signs, cutting them and sticking them together if necessary.
