Signage and Wayfinding Design is a comprehensive and accessible resource that enables readers to apply a standard, proven design process to large and small projects in an efficient and systematic manner. Environmental graphic design is the development of a systematic, visually cohesive graphic communication system for a given site within the built environment. Increasingly recognized as a contributor to well-being, safety and security in unfamiliar and high-stress environments, EGD is also being used to extend and reinforce the brand experience.

"We've been working on a large signage project since late last year. It’s been rough as in many ways our campus is very tough to navigate. One book that’s helped us out is Signage and Wayfinding Design by Chris Calori. The book talks a lot about the science/art of sign making. If you’re working on a signage project for your organization I highly recommend this book. I wish I would have found it earlier in our project." (Jon Edmiston – As far As I Can Tell Blog, March 25, 2009)
"Environmental graphic designers-referred to as EGDs in this volume-make sure we can get where we're going, without a bunch of extra information. Signage and Wayfinding Design looks at this emerging field and highlights some of its best work." (StepInsideDesign, 2007)
