Some customers will directly provide the size and specification of the sign, some customers need to be measured on site, of course, the designer should be based on the field investigation.
Second, upgrade the design

You can design multiple solutions for customers to choose from. Some clients don't understand professional things and how to match them. At this point, designers need to promote according to their own experience and the popularity of the current market, according to their own understanding and customer requirements for the product design.
Three, material selection
Signage is divided into a variety of materials, outdoor signage material choice has limitations, according to the surrounding environment to determine what kind of material is more appropriate, such as PVC for this beautiful but fragile signage material, in some outdoor signage personnel gathering place, signage can not be designed too sharp; The selection of indoor signage is relatively wide, but the safety of the surrounding environment should also be considered.
