"The Wayfinding Handbook" by David Gibson

Below are my final products for the book, "The Wayfinding Handbook" by David Gibson. My visual representation is a powerpoint presentation, because it effectively allows my audience to gain insight and knowledge about my text in a concise and cohesive manner, allowing each side to discuss a significant concept from the text. My book review provides the audience with an in depth explanation of the concepts covered within the text, and their significance to professional writing students and the industry at large.

In regards to the actual text, "The Wayfinding Handbook" is a very innovative read, because it discusses how the universal concept of information design can be so versatile, in this book particularly, through the concept of wayfinding. Wayfinding in short refers to creating visually competent, concise, cohesive yet detailed signage, planning and community development. It is an interdisciplinary subject because it encompasses aspects from professional writing, arcitecture and visual design, graphic design, and cartography. It presents information that is very valuable because this field and industry provide professional writing students a new opportunity to utilize their major and possibly acquire jobs post graduation.



The above is my powerpoint visual representation of this text.



This is my in depth book review for the text.
