Weekly Round Up

Follow Team Opal as we design and build our own exhibition for Museum Studies Leicester.

Today we had our final meeting of the first week. Yesterday we were advised to use visual images to help us storyboard our exhibition design. We thought this was a great idea so overnight we printed out images related to food and migration and brought them together this morning. We then constructed this into a narrative related to our case.

At the base of the case we have our pot and the related story. Above this we want to explore the idea of incorporating a map to show the migration of the pot from Spain to the Americas. Finally at the top of the case we liked the idea of a collage with images related to modern day migrated food.

We then constructed basic text panels and reduced the number of images to give a clearer view of our narrative.

Finally we then made a basic sketch of how we want to utilise the wall beside the case. We tried to sketch how we would incorporate our interactive elements as well.

It feels like our ideas are finally coming together and our exhibition is really taking shape.

Opal and out.
