Initial Designs

First design:

I just quickly drafted a basic poster layout just to give me some direction. I felt this was a bit bland and didn’t allow much for creativity. It didn’t have the power to stop and attract the attention of passers-by.

Second deigns:

This time I wanted to incorporate the Lost Media theme in a fun and enticing way.

The first drawing would be of an old computer on a table. Lots of dust and dimly but directly lit from above. Noises would include digital beeps and keyboard button presses. The four buttons would bring up information about each thing within the exhibit and selecting it again would take it back to the main screen with info about the location. The computer could bring up or say phrases to encourage people to interact with it and get them to stop. Movement would also catch the eye. It could be a bit obvious though and doesn't allow for much creativity.

The second drawing is of a retro television. Again, the initial image would be the name of the exhibit and location, and buttons on the side would bring up info about individual things within it. There could be fuzzy white noise sounds when changing a channel and when lines appear onscreen like an old VHS tape. I added the idea of the camera that would display someone within the TV frame to make it more fun and memorable. Again, it wouldn't take much design and would look a bit basic. 

This time, I wanted to develop some ideas with a typical poster design in mind. Taking the idea of ‘Lost’ media, I thought of a lost poster layout. It would look work and battered and the corner could be lifted and would gently move.  I thought about adding some background noise of people walking past (footsteps, chatter).  The corner would be what is clicked and lifted to reveal the different displays at the exhibit and touching a specific one would enlarge it for people to read. As this was just a random idea, i didn't think to keep adding detail and put it to the side.
