Word & Image

In the exhibition setting the relationship between words & images is extremely important for relaying information. My DES 185 partner and I are designing an exhibition about breakfast foods from around the world. We have been working on rendering what the interior of the space will look like, and we have been trying to pay special attention to where the written information should go, in order to best tell the story we are trying to tell.

You can see in my rendering (left) I created a white information banner that is hung on the right wall of the area in our exhibition exhibiting Swedish breakfast traditions. This info-graphic will have enough information to cater to those who simply glance and walk by and a bit more in depth for those who wish to stand and read on.

If there were no words to go along with the images and artifacts within our exhibition, it would be exponentially harder to comprehend the context from which they come. The words, interlaced with the images create an understandable staged environment as a point of learning. Visitors can choose to spend more time to read and examine images more closely to understand at a higher level, but all who come through the exhibition should connect what they see with what they read.
