ACADEMY DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

Copyright © 2007 Toonz Animation Academy Pvt. Ltd

1. Location and layout

1.1 Location requirements

The academy should be located in important traffic centres, or intersections and other areas where people
gather, with easy vehicular access and sufficient parking area. Customers should be able to walk into the building
through a side walk and the entry should be pleasing and inviting.

1.2 Zoning Pattern

The various sections e.g. front office, administration, classrooms, faculty spaces etc should be planned in
such a manner that facilitates smooth flow of work across the sections

Keeping the following in mind the following zoning pattern has been finalized.

(Figure.1) Ideal zoning pattern of the head

1.3 Exterior Signage
The signage plays an important role in determining the first impression of the academy. Accordingly we have the
toonz logo and the emblem that generate a strong positive impact on the customer.
The emblem is displayed on a translucent backlit acrylic box installed on the exterior of the building visible from a
distance of 100m to direct visitors to the academy.
The logos displayed on clear polycarbonate sheet in the front of the office have a distinct design and freshness of
image which though eye catching easily blends with the surroundings

(Figure.2) Suggested visibility angles

 (Figure.3) In the event that the logo may not be displayed outside in the proper way, another may be placed in a prominent
place as a part of the interior design
