Murphy's law on Design

Everything goes Wrong... It's not your day... you have assignment to submit...

Your fonts will default. If you have two versions of a photo, you will send the wrong one to the printer. When the printer goes out of ink and you are in a rush, you don’t have any cartridges to replace it. No matter what the size of the logo is, it’s not big enough for your lecture.Spell checkers don't work. So basically nothing work together to makeup your day.

Container as Content

I think that the word content means in message and communication. In this context, Container is the tool to deliver and transmit that message and communication to the mass. There are ways of using these containers to make the content interesting. Modifying and stylizing these containers is a way to make this happen. Modifying and stylizing using the right set of texture, colours, and elements. Elements include posters, photos, and print ads, and even exhibition. This transformation makes the container interesting and nice so the mass will be interested about the content and also they will have a better understanding.

Example is the posters. The posters make the wall interesting and also it will communicate the message well.

Exhibition design-Phase1

I first did the following design, but after consulting with my lecture I change and refined the design.

Final Design

Sony Exhibition

I will be doing my exhibition on Sony products. The products include Mp3, camera, mobile, and laptop. The exhibition is going have that electronic look. The colors that i will most probably use will be blue and white to give create a shiny and electronic look and effect.

Examples of exhibition

Exhibition

Exhibition design involves the process of developing an exhibit from a concept through to a physical, three-dimensional exhibition. It involves evolving field, drawing on innovative, creative and practical solutions to the challenge of developing communicative environments that communicate content and message in a three-dimensional space. Exhibition designers use a wide range of technologies and techniques to develop experiences that will flourish with diverse audiences, enabling viewers to access the messages, stories and objects of an exhibit. There are many different types of exhibit, ranging from museum exhibitions, to retail and trades show spaces, to themed attractions, zoos and visitor centers. All types of exhibits have the aim and goal to communicate a message through engaging their audiences in meaningful and compelling interactions. Exhibition design is a combination and arrangement of the works of architecture, graphic design, digital media, lighting, and interior design to create and develop that communicates information well.
