Direction Sign question

[Shane Drew]

I don’t really understand the question to be honest 😳 but I centre everything. If the text is on the same line, I combine it and then centre it, If the arrow is under the text, I centre everything under each other.

Do you have a pic as an example to what you refer?

[Jeremy Howes]

Thanks Shane,
The arrow is in line with the text so without fully understanding the question you managed the answer.

Many thanks
Jeremy

Both the text and the arrow should be centralized in the height.

for me it depends on whether the text is upper or lowercase….I would always centre the arrow but if the word has decenders I would centre it by eye so it looked right rather than automatically

[Russell Spencer]

if it is a sign with multiple directions ie. some to the left and some to the right then I would centre the text. If it is one locatation and and arrow then I would centre the text and the arrow, but you need to put the arrow a little further over to the edge because the point creates an optical illusion and it looks off centre, you will see what I mean when you set it up with a box around the text.

I tend to centre justify the longest one (text & arrow) – and then all subsequent ones keep any arrows and the start of any text in that same position for a uniform appearance. Stops a random margin from spoiling any signs that are stacked or in close proximity.

Vertical alignment is usually as per vertical centre of the upper case.
