"Wayfinding [is] a process that encompasses both the experience of choosing a path within a built environment and the set of design elements that aid in such a decision ... [Using real-life examples, Gibson illustrates the way type, color, mapmaking, dimensional forms, material selection, and new media are used to create effective wayfinding systems ...
