I am now editing the boards for each of the writers before I lay them out in illustrator to see how they work as a set. Im altering the leading of each line so that I have a constant kerning of 30 points for the gap between the title and the bulk of information (paragraph spacing) and a 17 point leading for the main areas of text. I am also changing all of the titles of the information pieces because I was describing them as ‘rounded lower loops’ or ‘small lower zone’. This actually isn't that interesting information, what the viewer really wants to see is what characteristic or trait that shows that the person has. Therefore I am changing all of these titles for a description of character. I am also making sure that all of my information lines are aligned with the centre of text areas, and that there is a constant thickness of gap between these lines and the text areas.
I am also sorting out some of the kerning issues that I have had with the lines of type. For instance, here the t and the r in the trust issues title needes work as incorrect kerning issues were very noticable. I have corrected this with a kerning of 75 in indesign.
This is the final layout for this idea. I like all of the content. I think that it is a very interesting way of showing the writings in an exhibition. I have some issues with it though. Firstly, the boards that they are on look very flimsy. The legs make the boards look like they might fall over. Secondly, the information is not structured very well when you view it all like this. There needs to be more structure to the layout of letters and information. I think that the large letter on each board that bleeds off the page is too powerful. Thirdly, it is just not a very interesting layout of exhibition.
I have all of the content wrapped up. I also have the way that I want to present the information, the use of fine lines to connect to areas of the stylised lettering, the typeface, etc. I just need to make it all more visually dynamic and interesting. On boards, the information is far too flat. I need to come up with another solution to a pop up exhibition. I think that I can bring this project to a conclusion once I have researched more into interesting use of space in exhibition design. Therefore, this is the next stage in my development of this project. I need to research.
