“Where’s The Bathroom?” asks this Visual Perspectives article from the October issue of Display and Design Ideas. The overarching signage answers are provided by Ann Fine Patterson, of who else, Ann Fine Patterson, LLC. The article pull quote reads “A sign is a communication vehicle that lives in harmony with all the other visual stimuli in the store environment.” Ann delves deeper in the signage question, but I don’t want to spoil a good short read. If signage, store navigation and store amenity are your thing, this is your article. A short concise read, worth the side trip.
