Signage to Inspire & Inform
Overview: I believe the primary goal of signs and labels is to inspire the visitor to explore more about the topics presented. My approach is to ensure the information is “digestible” i.e. organized, accessible and readable. I can prepare handouts or notebooks to provide more extensive text.
Fort La Présentation: Ogdensburg, NY. There is nothing to see on the site of the 1749 mission fort except the landscape. Working closely with volunteers I was able to create five interpretive panels: 1749 Founding, Wildlife, Railroads, Clean-Up, and Great Lakes Gateway. In addition to project management and graphic design I also created a request for proposals (RFP) for the sign production and followed National Parks guidelines. Heritage & High Falls Signage: City of Rochester, NY. Partnering with the city historian and local historical societies I located images to augment the written story of the city. I’ve created more than 30 interpretive panels using custom illustrations and archival material. My interpretive panels connect historical images with visible landmarks. Genesee Country Village & Museum Fashion Exhibit: Mumford, NY. Interpretive panels provide four levels of information to show visitors the exhibit highlights or lead them through the deeper story. Exhibit labels are positioned at an optimal height for easy viewing. The text is formatted in columns with approximately 40-50 characters per line to ensure readability.. Glenn H. Curtiss Wayfinding: Hammondsport, NY. The Glenn H. Curtiss transportation museum is housed in a large, open hanger with high ceilings. I developed a series of 12' x 4' color-coded hanging banners that are visible from all areas of the building. Visitors are able to self-guide to the areas of personal interest.
