Chances are, if you’re out on a walk in the Auckland region, you’ll come across an interpretive sign designed by Snapper Graphics. We’ve been ‘at it’ since 2004! We don’t like the idea of cluttering our beautiful landscapes with signs and notices, but, at the right place, and done well, a simple interpretive story can enrich a user’s experience. 

The samples on this page follow a simple template, allowing the project to be completed in a streamlined and economical way. You’ll find other, more elaborate design treatments in other sections of our portfolio.

We can handle research, stakeholder input, text writing and editing, image acquisition, design and installation coordination. How much we do depends on the situation, in some cases all the groundwork has been done and we just help with design, production and siting the signs.
