my sign system

My signage system will be place signs of the districts around Leeds, but instead of showing the current place, they will show what the place used to home such as the industry it upheld during the Industrial Revolution. 

So for Leeds city centre I will make a sign showing the history of a transport and commerce centre.

Hunslet and Holdback will show the history of engineering centres.

Armley, Bramley and Kirkstall will show the history of milling centres.

Roundly will show the Middle Class Suburbs. 


Existing Leeds signs

For a sign to be affective it has to quickly and easily get the message across so bright colour and bold typography is used, this simple combination is all that is needed so the sign can be read in a matter of seconds.

On the other hand, a more traditional route may be more fitting for my sign design due to the historical factor to the idea. Serif font is less clear but is more classic. The sign has a date and some information showing something of historical importance.
