You only have so much time to help visitors understand how to use an exhibit before they turn away in fustration. How can 3D design, graphics and text be used to help visitors engage with your exhibit without patronizing or asking too much of them? This workshop will look at failed and successful examples. The animators will bring real exhibit ideas from their own experience for participants to discuss in groups. The groups will present their results, and then the original solutions will be shown. Participants are invited to suggest their own design challenges for discussion.
