Prompt
Add Your Brief

Add your context below. It will be included with the prompt when you copy or download.

Create an editable HTML/CSS composition with selectable text and a print stylesheet; treat any raster illustration as a separate local asset for [PROJECT] and [AUDIENCE]. The task is: Exhibition Wayfinding System.

Required content and structure

Design directional signs with destinations, arrows, floor references and consistent hierarchy.

Use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source of names, dates, figures, claims and destinations. List missing inputs before substituting anything. If a demonstration is needed, label its content as fictional. Do not invent customer quotes, rankings, partner logos or product capabilities.

Design direction

Use [BRAND_RULES] and the design system already selected in the project. If no system is supplied, start with this direction: warm ivory, expressive black typography and a vivid coral accent; original geometric visual motif. Keep type, spacing and color roles consistent. Prioritize the task over decorative elements and avoid a generic collection of unrelated cards.

Content preparation

Supply destinations, floor plans, sign placements, reading distances and required languages. Verify which direction each arrow should indicate at its actual location.

Layout and behavior

Create a consistent hierarchy for destination, direction and floor. Design a family of signs that can be read while moving, using clear contrast and predictable arrow placement.

Task-specific acceptance check

  • Verify arrow direction against supplied floor plans and preserve contrast.
  • Place each sign against the supplied floor plan and check its direction from the viewer's approach.
  • Test the longest destination and avoid using color as the only route identifier.

Implementation and review

Keep text editable. Use semantic structure, descriptive controls, visible keyboard focus and appropriate empty/error states. Check narrow and wide layouts. Respect reduced-motion preferences. Preserve any existing project framework and dependencies; do not silently replace the stack. Return the editable files and explain any incomplete behavior or unsupported inputs. Review this specific task before proposing extra features.

Keep exact text and required credits as live text. Ask for the intended dimensions when they are missing. Do not invent a functional QR code, barcode, signature or official seal.

Reference attachment and reconstruction goal

Attach reference.webp from this prompt’s download bundle alongside this prompt in OpenDesign. Build an editable result with a similar composition and hierarchy; do not embed the whole reference image as the finished interface. Preserve approved project content and brand rules if they conflict with fictional sample labels. If the image is missing or unreadable, ask for it instead of claiming visual fidelity.

Reference composition and content

Use the attached reference.webp as the visual reference for Exhibition Wayfinding System. Before building, identify the major regions from top to bottom, their relative widths and heights, alignment, spacing, typography hierarchy, surface colors, borders, imagery and repeated components. Preserve those relationships rather than substituting a generic template. Required task content: Design directional signs with destinations, arrows, floor references and consistent hierarchy. Use the following task-specific layout guidance when translating the image into editable elements: Create a consistent hierarchy for destination, direction and floor. Design a family of signs that can be read while moving, using clear contrast and predictable arrow placement.

Visual direction from the example brief

warm ivory, expressive black typography and a vivid coral accent; original geometric visual motif.

Output and editability

Recreate the finished graphic as editable text, shapes and image layers. The reference is a composition, not an editor interface; do not add navigation, forms or dashboard widgets that are absent from it. Create a consistent hierarchy for destination, direction and floor. Design a family of signs that can be read while moving, using clear contrast and predictable arrow placement. Confirm intended dimensions and preserve text hierarchy when adapting the artwork. Verify arrow direction against supplied floor plans and preserve contrast.

Visual comparison and delivery

  1. Compare the result with the attached image at matching proportions. Review major region placement, relative image sizes, line breaks, spacing, typography hierarchy, contrast, active states and content density before polishing decorative details.
  2. Then test the narrow layout without squeezing desktop text into tiny labels.
  3. Keep logos, photos and icons as separate assets and all meaningful labels editable. List any unavailable fonts/assets and any intentional departures. Return the working files plus a concise account of implemented behavior and remaining integrations; do not promise a pixel-identical result from the prompt alone.

How to Write an Exhibition Wayfinding System Design Prompt

Use this exhibition wayfinding system design prompt to design directional signs with destinations, arrows, floor references and consistent hierarchy.

The reference is an AI-generated concept. The instructions below describe what to build and test; the image does not demonstrate working behavior.

Connect Each Arrow to a Real Destination

Wayfinding depends on the visitor's location and direction of travel.

AI-generated visual concept for exhibition wayfinding system
Exhibition Wayfinding System — compare the overall hierarchy with the layout instructions below.

Consistent typography cannot compensate for an arrow that points away from the correct room. Create a consistent hierarchy for destination, direction and floor. Design a family of signs that can be read while moving, using clear contrast and predictable arrow placement.

From the Prompt

Create a consistent hierarchy for destination, direction and floor.

Make It Your Own

For each sign, supply [INSTALLATION_POINT], [DESTINATION], [FLOOR] and [VERIFIED_DIRECTION]. Use one arrow vocabulary and keep destination names identical to the floor plan.

Prepare the Exhibition Wayfinding System Content

The central list repeats destination names, floor labels and large arrows. Supply a verified destination-to-direction mapping rather than choosing arrows as decoration.

Destinations, floors and direction arrows in the Exhibition Wayfinding System reference
Destinations, floors and direction arrows.

Supply destinations, floor plans, sign placements, reading distances and required languages. Verify which direction each arrow should indicate at its actual location.

From the Prompt

Design directional signs with destinations, arrows, floor references and consistent hierarchy.

Make It Your Own

For [PROJECT], use [APPROVED_CONTENT] as the source for this exhibition wayfinding system. Supply destinations, floor plans, sign placements, reading distances and required languages. Verify which direction each arrow should indicate at its actual location. Identify missing inputs before replacing them with demonstration content.

Walk the Route

The right-hand diagrams pair floor numbers with highlighted routes and amenity symbols. Check the diagrams against the actual site and do not imply an accessible route without verifying it.

Review the sign sequence against the supplied plan from each approach. Check decision points and return routes instead of evaluating each sign as an isolated graphic. Place each sign against the supplied floor plan and check its direction from the viewer's approach. Test the longest destination and avoid using color as the only route identifier.

From the Prompt

Verify arrow direction against supplied floor plans and preserve contrast.

Make It Your Own

Review the exhibition wayfinding system against this requirement: Verify arrow direction against supplied floor plans and preserve contrast. Place each sign against the supplied floor plan and check its direction from the viewer's approach. Test the longest destination and avoid using color as the only route identifier. Preserve approved content and revise only the parts that fail this check.

Review Your Exhibition Wayfinding System Result

A visual concept is not a press-ready or platform-approved file. Check exact copy, dimensions, color handling, fonts, asset rights and final placement.

  • Place each sign against the supplied floor plan and check its direction from the viewer's approach. Test the longest destination and avoid using color as the only route identifier.

Follow-Up Prompt

Use this after the first result. It narrows the revision to the most important part of this task.

Refine the current exhibition wayfinding system. Place each sign against the supplied floor plan and check its direction from the viewer's approach. Test the longest destination and avoid using color as the only route identifier. Preserve the approved content and visual direction; change only the parts needed to resolve these issues.
