Abstract:
Social media such as television, websites, newspapers, books (analog or digital), among others; require visual signaling systems for his use, navigation, by part of the people; to similarity of the ones used in urban spaces, collective mobilization systems, interiors of buildings, among others; that allow through a signs system, using a diversity of linguistic and visual resources, a general understanding of the physical, virtual or informational spaces, to which want to be accessed, with subsystems to identify and locate places, objects or units information, in order to be able to travel them bodily or visually and cognitively; to satisfy interests of a diversity of users, of different genres, age groups, cultural origin, proper of a globalized world. So it is possible to consider that all these signaling systems have a common basis in their essential function, strategies, sign systems and general structure, giving base to the construction of a unique model, becoming one of the problem types that are solving in each one of the design projects of the communication field. Signaling systems are always present in any medium of social communication and urban space, product or services, to facilitate the use by people.
