When passing by a park or community center, there are facilities that naturally catch your eye.
This is the information board and the multi-purpose bulletin board .
At first glance, it looks as simple as a structure to write down information, but when carrying out an actual project, there are many things to consider depending on the installation location and the intended use.
In particular, park guide maps must be able to be quickly understood by even first-time visitors, and community center bulletin boards or multi-purpose bulletin boards must be able to efficiently convey various types of notices.
iVision has been steadily developing information boards and sign systems necessary for public spaces.
Today, we will talk about what parts are important to look for when producing public information boards, focusing on the cases of , Yeongju City pet playground signboard, and , Gangnam-gu Dogok 1-dong bulletin board, .
Is the sign simply a facility with letters?
In conclusion, that is not the case. The
information board is close to a type of public communication facility that delivers necessary information to users when they first encounter the space.
Depending on where it is installed, who is viewing it, and from what distance it is to be read, font size, information arrangement, color, and form may vary.
For example, if it is a park guide map, it is important to be able to see the current location, main facilities, and travel direction at a glance.
On the other hand, community center bulletin boards or multi-purpose bulletin boards require a configuration that makes the information easy to view and manage because notices may change frequently.
This is why iVision first looks at to see how it is actually used in the field rather than just making the design pretty when working on a signboard project.
What was taken into consideration when designing the Yeongju City pet playground sign?
The pet playground is a little different from a typical park.
As pet owners and pets use the facility together, it is important to clearly communicate not only the location of the facility but also the instructions that the user must check.
Considering the characteristics of this space was a priority in the Yeongju City pet playground signage project.
In pet-related facilities, if the notice is too complicated, users may pass by without reading the content properly.
Therefore, it is important to organize the priorities of information so that you can quickly check the necessary information, and to secure visibility so that you can recognize the information facility from afar.
The same goes for creating park guide maps.
Rather than having people stand in front of a sign reading instructions for a long time,
“Where is this”
“Where to go”
“What to keep in mind”
We believe that making it easy to understand in a short period of time is the basis of a good information board.
Dogok 1-dong, Gangnam-gu What role does the bulletin board play?
Bulletin boards used in public spaces close to residents' lives, such as Dogok 1-dong, require different standards.
People looking for a community center bulletin board or a multi-purpose bulletin board often look at the design first, but in the actual use stage, information change and convenience of management are very important.
This is because posted content such as administrative information, event news, and lifestyle information may continue to change.
Therefore, the multipurpose bulletin board should be approached as a public information platform that continuously delivers various information, rather than as a facility that displays specific promotional materials once.
The Dogok 1-dong bulletin board project in Gangnam-gu is also an example of an important example of how residents can easily check the information they need while naturally blending in with the surrounding space.
In particular, if a public bulletin board is too flashy, the structure may appear before the content.
The balance between design and readability is important because posted content must be clearly visible while blending in with the surrounding architecture or street environment.
What is the most important standard when creating a community center bulletin board?
There are four main criteria that we consider important in the field.
The first one is visibility .
The existence of a bulletin board or information board must be visible from a distance, and the necessary information must be easily readable from up close.
The second is information structure .
When different information such as title, guidance content, map, and precautions are included on one screen, they must be separated according to importance.
The third is , which matches the installation location of . Even with signs such as
, the form and atmosphere suitable for each park, community center, cultural facility, or walking trail may vary.
The fourth is maintenance .
In particular, multipurpose bulletin boards require design that takes into account the actual operation stage because the content changes repeatedly.
Why should park guide maps be custom-made on-site?
The entrance location, movement route, and facility layout of the park are all different.
Therefore, it is difficult to apply the park guide map used in other places.
Parks with children's playgrounds and parks with pet playgrounds differ in terms of what they provide.
If the park is centered around a walking trail, the current location and direction of movement are important, and if it is a place where several amenities are gathered, it is important to be able to quickly check the location of each facility.
In the end, a good park guide map differs from in how easily and accurately it conveys information about the place, rather than in the design itself.
We also approach the signboard as part of the sign system that composes the entire space rather than viewing it as an independent product.
What signage projects has iVision been working on?
iVision has been working on projects in the field of public environment and environmental design since 1998.
We handle various areas necessary for space, including information boards and sign systems in parks and streets, channel signs, landscape lighting, pet facilities, public sculptures, and solar pergolas. In the case of the
signboard, rather than proceeding with the design separately, the project is being carried out by confirming the purpose of the site and connecting design, production, construction, and delivery.
Public facilities are not just built; they are actually used repeatedly by citizens.
So, from the first design, you need to think about how it will look on site, how it will be used, and how it will blend in with the surrounding space.
What should I check if I'm looking for a signboard or multi-purpose bulletin board company?
When looking for a company, it is better to first look at to see if they have experience with public projects similar to rather than simply comparing production prices.
The community center bulletin board and the park guide map may look similar, but the usage environment and information to be conveyed are different.
The pet playground sign is also difficult to access using the same standards as the general park sign.
Therefore, checking whether they can connect from design to production and installation along with actual field experience will help you select a company.
introduced this time, , Yeongju City pet playground information board, and , Dogok 1-dong bulletin board in Gangnam-gu, are also different spaces, but they all started from one question in common.
“How can people who use this space check information most conveniently?”
In the future, even if iVision produces a signboard or a multi-purpose bulletin board, we will look at the site to make it not just a facility but a part of the public environment that most effectively conveys information about the location.
