We will use this blog to document our museum field trip experience, in particular, how language, knowledge and interaction contribute to the way thinking is influenced by exhibit design.

This photo was taken outside the Grizzly Bear entrance. I really enjoyed this sign and opening to the exhibit because it is bright colors and big letters. The information on this sign is also kept to a minimum. There is enough information to engage a visitor without having them become bored reading information. Having the sign with texture also benefited visitor engagement because everyone wants to touch everything.

And I appreciate the fact that a visitor gets a context for the native territory of these particular bears--all in a format that doesn't require being able to read print text to understand the sign's message.
ReplyDeleteThink about ways your signage can mix up print literacy and visual literacy to support all reading levels and genre preferences. You know graphica is very popular among youngsters these days.
