Signage is a type of advertising. But advertising is not signage. To get the most out of your knowledge of advertising, understanding the sign design will only add to your portfolio.

Advertising Firms

Everyone will agree that the traditional world of advertising is undergoing monumental shifts with technology playing a major role. Even though the advertising landscape has changed, one thing that has not changed is how graphics and ads are designed. Although signs are purely advertisement, advertising is not signage. According to the International Sign Association, the US Chamber of Commerce states that, “signs bring in 50% of a retail businesses sales, more than all other forms of advertising combined.”  Source, www.signs.org.  If this is true, Ad Agencies would do good to understand the basic tenets of signs, sign designs and how to design ads that bring in the bottomline revenue.

Interestingly enough, with all the knowledge and understanding about advertisement techniques, nothing is really known about signage. This is a fact.
