Experiential graphic designers and AV integrators know that environments are moving more toward digital every day. As you talk about digital signage with your clients, you’ll need to establish a base before bringing in hardware and software vendors. Just like standard signage, digital signs have to serve a well-defined purpose – it could be wayfinding, messages, alerts, donor recognition or other visual communications.
Why do they want digital signs? Who is their audience? Who will manage the system? What about the visitor experience? Like all good design, digital signage starts with study and a defined scope so that clients and vendors both work toward the same goals.
