Signage Design System Generator
Generate ADA-compliant signage systems with wayfinding hierarchies and material specs
What You Can Do
You can generate complete signage system briefs that specify typography standards, color contrast ratios, mounting methods, material selections, and maintenance protocols tailored to your site. The skill produces ADA-compliant documentation that coordinates static and digital signage across healthcare, hospitality, campus, and retail environments—eliminating guesswork and reducing iterations with fabricators and compliance consultants.
Features
ensures all specifications meet accessibility standards including tactile markers, contrast ratios, and mounting heights
recommends finishes, substrates, and durability ratings based on environmental exposure (indoor, outdoor, high-traffic zones)
organizes signage levels (primary identity, directional, informational, regulatory) with consistent visual and typographic treatments
maps sign locations across complex environments with distance, sightline, and clustering analysis
generates locked-down font families, sizes, line weights, and WCAG AA/AAA contrast ratios for readability
produces specification documents ready for vendor quotes and manufacturing timelines
includes longevity projections, cleaning schedules, and refresh cycles for different material types
structures signage for bilingual or international environments with hierarchy optimization
Example Output
Primary Directional Sign Specification:
- Material: 3mm aluminum composite, marine-grade anodized finish
- Typography: Helvetica Neue 500, 48pt for primary text, 32pt secondary
- Color: Charcoal text (#2C2C2C) on off-white ground (#F5F5F5) — contrast ratio 14.2:1
- Mounting: Surface-mount with stainless steel brackets, 60" center height
- ADA compliance: 1/8" tactile dots on lower edge, Grade 2 Braille labels
Campus Wayfinding Hierarchy:
- Level 1 (Identity): Building entry monuments, 8' clearance zones
- Level 2 (Directional): Corridor intersections, max 15' spacing
- Level 3 (Informational): Room identification, door-mounted at 48-60" height
- Level 4 (Regulatory): Emergency procedures, accessible exits, parking restrictions
Maintenance Schedule:
- Monthly: Inspect for damage, graffiti removal
- Quarterly: Deep clean with approved solvents, verify tactile integrity
- Annual: Replace worn Braille labels, check mounting hardware corrosion
What's Included
