Sign
Hierarchy
After
identifying the appropriate location and type of each sign, you should
determine the appropriate hierarchy and scale of signs and sign
messages. If signs are all equal in size or emphasis, the user will
not know where to find the most important information. You should
emphasize certain sign messages through type size, typestyle or
background color. “Layering” the information improves the
legibility of your signs, and will help visitors make their decisions
faster and more accurately.
The numbers on
the two sign examples below show the sequence a person will view signs
in a lobby or directory, helped by the appropriate scaling of the
signs and messages.
