“I don’t think there is any difference between designing furniture or signage. These designs are all created for people and to help them. A lamp, a knife, a car – or signage. People use them.”
Nicolas Vrignaud is a specialist in architecture, scenographic and signage design, his work ranges diversely from collaborating Citroen cars, to creating nature walks and haunting memorials grounds.

IdN v17n5: Wayfinding+Signage — The Wayfinders
Most graphic-design courses these days involve at least one way-finding/signage assignment, but relatively few designers choose to go into the discipline full-time. In this enlightening feature, we have asked some 14 path-finders studios and individuals, first-timers and old hands to tell us what it is about pointing people in the right direction that so appeals to them. And to explain the challenges and pitfalls as well as the satisfactions involved.

"Perhaps in this discipline more than in any other visual-communication sphere, it is important to honour the user. Without successful signage, users are not enabled to connect with the space and its potential."
Ryohei Yoshiyuki (Osaka, Japan)
“I just try to present little moments of beauty that I have experienced in my daily life such as the lovely sky, or some flowers found growing in the cracks of a brick wall. Such moments make me happy and I want others to share in that happiness."
“Most of the signage projects we have done are part of bigger identity or communication projects... It’s essentially like a poster or any other piece of design. Innovation is always possible within the boundaries of effective communication.”
'When it comes to designers, we feel that the Japanese are perceived as simple and not using many colours.'
Triboro Design (New York, USA)
“To us, the personality conveyed by the typeface is an important consideration beyond the practical concerns of readability.”
P-06 Atelier (Lisbon, Portugal)
“When there’s too much information, too many signs, confusion sets in. Invading surfaces with colours, using decorative and playful elements, is one answer that ends up reducing the signage elements.”
