Abstract


This paper is an attempt to present the role of environmental graphics in the outdoor life and it provides general information about the environment and the graphics of that area and it also expresses the existing problems in the society. The main purpose of this paper is to lead city authorities to beautify the city with the easiest method and using fundamental forms, designs and coordinating them all together and the surrounding areas. Besides, the paper aims at analyzing certain problems associated with urban spaces. The beautification effort can elevate social culture in the form of commercial, cultural, and advertising purposes. It also identifies items in urban space like: benches, recycle bins, squares, transportation stations, and monuments and statues as part of improving urban environment and it tries to find a coordination among all possible designs. Environmental graphics is a nascent offshoot of graphics which could offer some solutions for peaceful life in an urban area besides attracting tourism.
