Atmosphere

She also kindly offered to answer any further questions via this.

If you do send emails please try and make them succinct and to the point and gather questions into single emails rather than bombarding her with multiple individual questions.

Week Seven

Thanks for all your work this week, all the projects are looking very clear and convincing in terms of narrative messaging, and the structures to deliver them are developing well.

No notes or presentation from this week but we did mention a few things that you might like to follow up:

Augmented Reality

Data Matrix Barcodes

British Music Experience

Darwin Centre

For next week can we please have clearly drawn plans of your proposed experiences.

Week Six Brief

Here is the Narrative Brief.

Please get your stories figured out and selected for next week's lesson.

They don't need to be over complex and don't need to be overly detailed, the clarity of the relationship between your narrative threads is the important thing.

We mentioned the Wellcome Collection, go and visit.

I believe I also mentioned Philip Hughes' - Exhibition Design. It's a good how-to guide for creating exhibitions.

Layouts

As discussed during Monday the 14th's class, the diagrams to the left are commonly used narrative lead layouts. They are found in exhibition and retail environments, both temporary and permanent.

Over the weekend please photograph examples of these layouts being used, and come on Monday 21st prepared to describe them in terms of the stories they are structuring.
