Information Design

In the winter I love to spend time snowboarding with my friends in the terrain park. For the past 5 years it’s been a big part of my life in the winter months. When entering parks, there is usually a sign to signify the upcoming terrain. Most resorts have the universal color as orange, but some signs vary. Another example is shown below.

The reason I find these intriguing, especially the design above is how simple they are. While snowboarding/skiing past you can read and understand the whole sign very quickly. Some riders are faster than others and urgent readability is a must in order to understand what’s ahead.

Designers are unknown.
