Exhibit Display Alternate Solutions

The exhibit display I am developing, a trapezoid-shaped kiosk covering the influence of developments in chemistry through the Impressionist era, divides into four parts:

1. Pigments
2. Paint composition through history
3. Impressionism
4. Paints through Impressionism

The physical kiosk divides into four parts as well due to the trapezoidal shape. As a result, I designed this exhibit to include a panel of information, one to cover each of the four topics, on each side of the kiosk. These panels might be printed visuals and text, or screens for interactive aspects to the display.

I created three alternative solutions for each of the four panels to the exhibit. The alternative solutions, with annotations, are shown below:

Figure 1: Alternative solutions for first panel for exhibit display, focused on introducing the scientific nature of a pigment and how pigments are involved in paints.

Figure 2: Alternative solutions for second panel for exhibit display, focused on providing a general overview of paint composition, and multiple variations on paint ingredients and production from ancient times to the years before Impressionism.

Figure 3: Alternative solutions for third panel for exhibit display, focused on introducing Impressionism, how the era varied from previous art forms, and how advancements in paint manufacturing and color theory allowed the development of Impressionism.

Figure 4: Alternative solutions for fourth panel for exhibit display, focused on providing a timeline of developments in new pigments throughout the Impressionist era, and how artists used these new colors to advance the artistic movement.

The next step in the design process is to complete a second rationale for this layer of the project by testing the alternative solutions against the exhibit display specifications and limitations and by reviewing the content with the acting client and the target users, if possible. After comparing the solutions and completing a rationale, I will be able to finalize the solution for the exhibit display layer of the project.
