  • What is an interpretive signage?

    Interpretive signage enhances visitor perceptions of a site, city, or region. By drawing attention to an area's unique history and identity, tourists better appreciate the story of a new place. Captivating interpretive signs and exhibits can become destinations in their own right.
  • What are examples of interpretive signs?

    Interpretive signage is signage that helps to create a narrative that acts to generate a positive user experience (UX). You might, for example, manage a tourist attraction such as a bay trail, be in charge of an urban space or area, or perhaps even run a crocodile attraction.
  • What is the standard size for an interpretive sign?

    Common standard sized interpretive panels for angle mount are 18”x24” and 24”x36”. Larger panels (3'x4' and 4'x4') are typically mounted upright. The size of a sign panel is typically determined by the amount of content to be communicated, and the distance from which the panel will be viewed.
  • Different Types of Signage
    Interpretive signs can be made out of a variety of materials and styles. The most basic signs can be made of paper or cardboard that has been laminated to make it waterproof (HPL). More durable materials, such as wood, metal, or plastic, are generally more expensive and difficult to produce.

INTERPRETIVE PLANNING - TOOL #4

Region 2 Interpretive Media

Design Guidelines

The following are some basic guidelines for the preparation and design of interpretive media:

Guidelines Applicable to All Media

Accessibility

For specific guidelines on accessibility, see the Smithsonian Institution Accessibility Program, edited to conform to Forest Service Guidelines Also, refer to the Americans with Disabilities Act and Architectural Barriers Act (ADA/ABA) Accessibility Guidelines (www.access-board.gov).

Color and Contrast

Use contrasting colors for text and background for ease of reading. Use the following websites to check your colors for those visually impaired or color blind. o http://www.vischeck.com/ o

Corporate Image

Incorporate Forest name, shield, FS Mission - Caring for the Land and Serving

People and perhaps a forest "look"

- i.e. representative pine branch that appears on all signs, brochures, etc. (See samples of such signs on website

Guidelines for Interpretive Panels

(Note - many of these guidelines are applicable to brochures as well.)

Captions

Captions for graphics can be used to meet learning objectives and capture the theme; some visitors look only at graphics so the graphic and its caption should be a learning opportunity on its own.

Layout/Design

In general, signs should contain 1/3 graphics, 1/3 text, and 1/3 blank space.

Margins

Margins on text should be flush on the

left side and ragged on the right.

Mounting Height

A mounting height of 24 to 30 inches with a 30 to 45 degree angle toward the viewers will be accessible to most visitors. The front edge height of low profile exhibits should be 32".

Site Compatibility

Make sure the sign is compatible with the site, the Built Environment Image Guide (BEIG) and the Recreation Opportunity Spectrum classification as far as color, size, frame, etc. It should enhance the site, not detract from it.

Simplicity

The main body of text should be no more than two paragraphs of three or four short sentences. Keep text to no more than 150 words (u p to 250 words maximum if using captions and smaller fonts for secondary text or captions). Text

The text should be written with the "3

-30-3" rule in mind. You have 3 seconds to hook the visitor, 30 seconds if they are hooked, and 3 minutes if they are very interested. A sign should be designed and written so that it contains three levels of text with each level conveying a feeling of the theme, thus providing all visitors with an interpretive opportunity regardless of how long they stay. For example, a short title at the top of a sign might be the only text some visitors read, so it is important the learning objectives for the site be me t to some degree even at the 3-second timeframe.

Titles

The titles of a sign or brochure should be a statement of a theme. For example, "Salvaging Blowdown - A Treemendous Renewable Resource" sets the stage for talking about how trees are a renewable resource.

Typeface

Use a sans, slab, or simple serif typeface, upper and lower case, with a minimum 18- point type size on signs. Titles: 72 - 60 point, Subtitles: 48 - 40 point, Body Text - 24 point, Captions: 18 point. (These sizes are suggested for the visually impaired by the

National Park Service.)
