Out for Directory Sign

The First Location - Ikano Power Center




These were the directory sign that can be found near the main escalators The categories for different department in the shopping mall in written in the sign board above. In my opinion, I don't think this kind of directory sign was clearly states the locations in the complex. Since it is just defined in different categories, visitor may not get to the certain shop in a direct way. Besides, it will be difficult for people that could not read.





I am satisfy for this kind of directory sign design. Firstly, it is well present in a simple way. By using the universal symbol, people may easily understand where is the arrow leading to compare to reading word. The only problem for this is the symbol above were too small to see. Visitors may not see where will be lead to from further side.


The Second Location - The Curve



This a directory sign that can get at the main entrance. It roughly showed the location in the mall which gave a simple direction guide to the visitors. Compare to the directory sign in Ikano, this sign looks more interesting because it apply colour to the design.



After that, there is another sign board for guilding visitors to shops in G level. It clearly stated with shop name. Althought it looks clean and tidy, I will prefer that the use back the logo or font design of the shop because it will looks more familiar to the visitors.



In the middle of the mall, there was a detail directory sign. Since the previous sign were too roughly, it is good to have a detail one especially for the visitors who came here for the first time.




Below the ceilling, there were also directory sign that showed some main location. The idea of this design was good by using combination of symbol and word. The glowing word on the sign board allow visitors to see it clearly.



Besides that, directory sign on the wall also good enough for visitors who looking for certain places.




Level and location directory sign that can get beside lifts also important since people usually may stop there waiting for lifts. In this case, they can take their time to read and check where are they and where can they go to.



The End
