In order to commemorate the upcoming anniversary of James Vicary’s
infamous subliminal messaging experiments propose an exhibition for a museum
that informs the audience about all areas of the subject.
The exhibition could theoretically be in a number of
museums across the world.
Concept / Proposition:
I propose to produce an exhibition featuring famous examples of subliminal messaging from all sectors of the creative industry.
Putting a specific
emphasis on creating interactivity with the audience, I will produce a series of
proposals for the exhibition space detailing how the audience will interact
with the space.
Although this concept of 'interactivity' within design work and a analysis of how the indented audience will interact with the design is a key interest of mine and something I would like to explore further I have never actually produced proposals for an exhibition before and therefore I was unsure on how to approach the brief.
To give myself a better idea of exhibitions, interactive design, what works and what doesn't I visited a museum in Liverpool in order to gather research and analyse the design work there.

In terms of displaying an relevant or important quote to the subject I like the idea of enlarging across a wall as seen here, this would give me the opportunity to work more in depth with typography to produce an aesthetically pleasing design.
A lot of the different exhibitions I visited within the museum used the format of a timeline in order to display the information in a more appealing way, within my own work I would like to incorporate this concept as a starting point to explore further.
Another deliverable which I had not yet considered when I was in the process of writing my brief was a floor plan for the exhibition, this is possibly a idea on how I could extend the brief into the way-finding sector.
This photograph of a free standing piece is really clear example of how the designer has considered how the audience will interact with the exhibition, the whole image would not be clear at first but as they walk closer it will be come clear.
This concept is particularly appropriate for my chosen subject of subliminal messaging, I could perhaps propose so that they walk from one way and one image would become clear and walk from the other direction and another image would become clear?
This is again a really considered way of how the audience will interact with the environment around them, the designer has has been really clever here. Whilst sitting on the bench the audience will take the time to read the quotes and take really in the information.
Although I like the idea of using typography to draw in the viewers attention, I do not think this piece is that effective, there is quite a lot of type and a lot of information to take in, i'm not sure if the audience would be able to take it in whilst walking past.
I do however like the idea of mocking up a smaller setting of the original, as they have done here with the mock-up cinema I would personally find this really interesting and engaging if I saw it as an exhibition. Possible way of displaying the James Vicary's infamous experiments?

As well as the photographs I took from the exhibitions at the Liverpool Museum, I also took some photos of the recent wall installation in our Blenheim Walk building. Not only have they stuck to a two colour palette, which is aesthetically pleasing I think the large, simplistic info graphics are really effective in getting across the information, as it is really easy to read and take in even as you walk down the steps.

I think the idea of a wall installation with a timeline which runs throughout is a effective concept in terms of how the audience interact with design, as they walk throughout the exhibition they timeline will follow them, thereby giving the information to the viewer in a more interactive way.
