look at. Think about the use of culturally relevant icons, colours, shapes, and illustrations that
relate to each area. You can also incorporate elements inspired by Mughal architecture, floral
motifs, and calligraphy in your signage system.
4. You may create multiple designs for each area’s signage and select the best design in the end.
5. Create detailed drawings or illustrations of the chosen signage designs. Use colours, text, and
directional arrows to make the signs clear and attractive.
