Sign design

Names of people in my group: nezinli, toko, nathaniel

Your task is to design a sign that will clearly assist in eliminating a problem within our school.

- Make sure you are clear what the task is.
- Can you identify the key words in this task (highlight them and discuss it with a buddy)

Thinking about signs and signage (Make a list of all the signs you have seen ….. and the purpose of the sign )

Type of sign:	Purpose of the sign:
No smoking	Keep a smoke free area. No smoking inside.
Give way	Traffic sign. Look out for traffic e.g cars/ trains/ buses
Slow down	Near a desertion crossing. Traffic sign.
No cats and dogs	Pick up their droppings before you leave.
No running across the road	When there are no traffic lights.
Exit	Only certain ways to go out of buildings.

Brainstorm some Ideas/ problems that we have around our school environment.

*Sit while you eat
*Be careful with the grass and garden
*Don’t throw your rubbish on the ground
*No running in places
*Take off your shoes when you inter your class room
*Play sensible gund the out side
*Stay in bounds

STAKEHOLDERS

The Stakeholders are the people who have an effect on the production of your product

The Primary Stakeholder is your client. the person or community of people that your sign is going to be created for. eg.

Wider Community Stakeholders:	Key Stakeholders:	Primary Stakeholder:
parents visitors	students teachers school	me students

ATTRIBUTES: These describe the physical (what it is like) and functional (what it will do) characteristics of a product. These characteristics are key or essential for the successful function of a product and should be re- evaluated at each stage of the design process.

With your sign in mind, complete the following attributes table:

Attribute	Method of Measurement	Specification
eg. Eye catching	sign will appeal (be noticed) by stakeholders	Sign must be clear, stand out and be creative
Size	Medium	small
Colour	Grey	blue
