Initial consultation
|
| |
|
| |
The initial consultation is
an information-gathering
exercise which sees a
representative of Pakamedia
Grafik meeting with the
client to gain an
understanding of client
needs either on customized
or system signage. |
| |
|
|
2. |
Authorisation to commence
|
| |
|
| |
Upon giving consideration to
client requirements, we will
respond with an estimate
based on the information
gathered previously. We
require you to sign the
‘commencement agreement’ and
fax it back to us. |

Design Planning Phase -
Preparing for Design |
| |
|
|
|
The planning phase involves
a general assessment of the
project requirements,
assembling a team and
determining a preliminary
budget, schedule and
procurement method. |
| |
|
|

Design Programming Phase
- Determining Signage
Requirements |
| |
|
| |
The Design Programming Phase
involves research and
analysis of the site,
finding solutions to way
finding issues, identifying
a hierarchy of sign types
and determining the location
and message of all signs. |
|
|
|
|
5. |
Design Development Phase -
Creating a System of Sign
Components |
|
|
|
| |
Once the general
requirements of the program
have been identified, we
will start to develop the
“look and feel” of the
signage. Usually, a few
options or design directions
will be presented.
Specifications of color
palette, materials, and
typefaces should be
indicated at this stage of
the design process.
Samples or prototypes with
actual materials and
finishes can be used to test
proposed sign components. |
|
|
|
|
6. |
Design Documentation Phase -
Developing a Detailed
Specification |
| |
|
| |
This next phase includes
documentation of the sign
system suitable for bidding,
fabricating and installing
signs, as well as criteria
for reordering of signs in
the future.
These contract documents
require a significant amount
of detail and data via
specifications and drawings,
and are also known as the
bid documents. |

|
|
5. |
Sign Fabrication and
Installation - Quality
Assurance |
|
|
|
| |
The fabrication process
begins once the client or
principal has approved the
construction
documents and a sign
fabricator has been
selected. At the outset of
the work, the fabricator
will develop a production
schedule, and will produce
shop drawings and prototypes
for the proposed signage
elements |
