Environmental Graphic Design

David Gibson, author of The Wayfinding Handbook, cites two seminal books: Kevin Lynch's Image of the City, and Paul Arthur and Romedi Passini's Wayfinding: People, Signs, and Architecture. The terms wayfinding and signage were coined by these authors. The Society for Environmental Graphic Design is the professional organization dedicated to advancing ideas in the field. Environmental graphic design has become the key term for communications intended for spatial application, ranging from sign programs to branded environments. Interior designers, architects, landscape architects, graphic designers and product designers represent professions whose interests merge in the practice of environmental graphic design.
