Abstract

A goal of environmental graphic design is to create identities that inform the public of a building's contents and occupants. The designer's use of recognizable exterior marks, symbols and signage dictates how well this information is communicated to prospective clients, visitors or observers. My creative project examines how informational environmental and graphic design can improve awareness and understanding of the mission of a building that was not constructed for its current social services use.
