Update on designs

The panels are now being designed. Because a lot of preliminary work has already gone into the main panels, I don't think they will take so long to create, but I knew that the title panels would be the big problem, as they need to include a lot of information in very little space. First, the main title for the exhibition is below. This had to include the message from General Dallaire.

Main panel at 21%.

Bottom panel with Dallaire's message in Bosnian and English, 21%.

The panels together. 15%.

Dallaire's message in Bosnian, 100%.

Title, 100%.

Logos, 100%.





The introductory panel includes information on the exhibition, the photographers, PROOF, organisations involved in the project and a map showing the different regions and stats.

Zoomed out to 15%. This shows the top and bottom panels together. Colour links the countries/regions to their information, as well as the the photographer who worked in that region.

Main panel. 25%.

The map in detail.

Detail on countries.

100%. Information on Rwanda.

Type at 100%.

Bottom panel type - info on photographers. 100%. This type has to be smaller than the main panels, due to the amount of information that has to be included, but it is still easy to read.

Colour links the photographer to the region they worked in.

Text of the introduction to the exhibition, on the main panel. 100%.


There has been one important change to the main panels - the breakout quotes are now on the main panel and the main body of text on the smaller one. This is so you can look down and read the larger body of text more comfortably, but as there will be a lot of people passing through the square where the exhibition is, it was thought the breakout quotes could still be read by them easily, giving them a sense of what the exhibition is about even if they can't stop to read the whole thing.

Breakout quotes on the main panel allow passers-by to get snippets of information about the exhibition, even if they can't stop to read the whole text.
