Environmental Graphic Design

SEGD is the Society for Environmental Graphic Design, I've been looking through some of the awards section of their site and picked out a few pieces of design that really inspire me.


This is a sculpture that acts as a memorial wall for police officers. The structure is very striking, high in impact. Having separate pieces for each name emphasises the amount of names on the wall.


Close up, showing one of the names


A demonstration to how all the surfaces of a place can be used. Here the arrows along the floor act as a trail.


The whole presentation of this reflects well the time of the discoveries, and having the turtles cast and displayed as 3D objects signifies their importance in the theories. The 3D element makes the display much more dynamic.


Again, the 3D aspect makes this seem really dynamic. It isn't the most easily understood piece of information, but structurally is really interesting. I'd like to collaborate with an interior design/architect student so that we could think about interesting shapes/structures to work with that reflect the environment they exist within.




Directionals/way finding within a car park. I like the playful use of perspective, and how colours/lines are used to break up the otherwise mundane space. This is an example of really clever design.





The use of illustration in this temporary store, gives a sense of real delicateness and elegance.



A project from some typography students, each of the letters was hand cut and measured so that it would appear the same height as the letters in front/behind it.
