SEGD programming on documentation is sponsored by Design Communications. This event is sponsored by Sign Comp, MS Sign, and Compass Sign Company.
This program is presented in coordination with the Philadelphia Chapter of SEGD.
Environmental graphic designers have great flexibility when documenting projects. Instead of just one approach, designers can employ multiple strategies based on design process, project collaborators, or the implementation methodology. Learn about documentation as a set of strategies with specific standards. Hear about best practices from concept development to shop drawings to ongoing guidelines.
This program is intended for designers, fabricators, and clients focused on developing a documentation management approach for their practice or organization, and is part of the SEGD Certificate Program on Documentation.
