There’s a fine art to storytelling through signage, which we love helping our clients in the leisure, tourism, and events sectors to achieve. These types of projects allow us to get creative and design signage that goes beyond mere wayfinding – it becomes a tool for storytelling, enriching the visitor experience and leaving a lasting impression.
What Is Your Story?
When designing your signage, one of the most important questions is: What’s your story?
Every company, brand, destination, venue, and event possesses a distinctive narrative, whether grounded in location, history, heritage, or seasonality – or focused on people, products, or places. It is crucial to define what message you wish to convey to your clients or visitors. Are you looking to inspire, entertain, educate, or perhaps something else?
Integrating Practical Signage Requirements
Before diving into the creative aspects, it’s crucial to address the practical needs of your visitors. Start by considering the essential navigation and informational signage required to ensure a smooth and enjoyable visit. Clear, well-placed signage is key to helping visitors find their way around your site. But…it doesn’t have to stop there.
Expanding Your Vision Through Storytelling Signage
Once all practical needs are considered, it’s time to think more expansively. What emotions do you want your visitors to experience? What do you want them to think, feel, and remember after they’ve left? This is where signage becomes more than just directional. It becomes a part of the visitor’s journey, immersing them in your brand and storytelling through your signage.
Crafting a Suite of Engaging Signage
By combining practical requirements with aspirational goals, we can create a cohesive suite of engaging signage. This approach will not only guide visitors but also immerse them within your brand’s narrative. Whether through shape, style, texture, or materials, every element of your signage can be considered and crafted to reinforce your story.
Materials and Formats to Enhance Your Storytelling
Our extensive range of materials and formats can be used effectively to ensure your signage is a part of your story. The choice of shape, style, texture, and materials, along with the creative and graphic elements, all contribute to a compelling narrative. From rustic wooden or stone signs that evoke a sense of history to sleek, modern designs that reflect innovation or adventure, or sustainable options that align with your core values, every detail can be tailored to your needs.
