Introduction
This course is designed to give you a basic overview of some of the technologies, terminologies and influences which define and identify the signage market as a whole. There are a number of factors which have to be taken into account, some of which you may already have heard of or know something about, others which you will be hearing about for the first time. The textbook will address technologies and terminologies which are common in the Signage market, but also which appear in other industries. So, while some may be familiar, the connection to Signage may not be immediately clear.
This course will provide only a cursory look at each of the sectors, as it is designed to provide an introduction. Should your interest be peaked by the content, you will have the opportunity to go into more detail in the second course dealing with Fundamentals.
In order to understand the basics it is necessary to start at the beginning.
