The Foundations of Designing Indicative Signs in Ports and Marine Waterways as an Introduction to Enriching Contemporary Graphic Design

Abstract

Abstract

This study came to clarify the importance of highlighting the value of knowing the guide signs in marine waterways, in order to identify ways in which guide signs are used to achieve a visual link between the content of the guiding signs and knowledge of the composition of the visual image. This helps in identifying the places of guideline placement in marine waterways to help in achieving knowledge in the physical and mathematical equations and the law of distance in the indicative signs in marine waterways. The study demonstrated the understanding of the requirements for designing indicative signs in waterways, which depends on the purpose for which we design the sign and the function it performs, and it all depends on the environment in which it is placed through the relationship of sizes, shapes, rhythmic coordination, and color relationships and degrees, as color is one of the important elements of design to give a different impression from one color to another, which it gives to the designed body.
