Myrtle liked the size of the writing on the signs, especially as her husband's sight becomes more of an issue. People with dementia agreed that some of the pictures could be improved. Ann said the showerhead image isn't clear, but adding water coming out of it might help.

Perhaps for part of the sign if not possible for thewhole image?' Although the group thought the high contrast colours made them clear, they preferred more neutral colours for some pictures and said red should be kept for signs that were instructions like 'way out'.

Raksha thought the signs could be useful for a weekend away. Deirdre agreed, 'The toilet sign would be very useful in a hotel room.' Everyone agreed that the large signs would be useful in public venues, but not everyone thought they would use them at home.Deirdre said the signs could be ideal for her and her husband, as they are moving house soon and will have to get used to a new layout.

Sandra liked the utility cupboard picture, which features a vacuum cleaner and ironing board.

Michael thought the image of cleaning products was too busy, with too many products in one picture. Ann wondered if a larger image of cleaning gloves would be more effective.
