It must be readable from far away and close-up, attract curiosity, be informative and communicate an idea. A poster is a large 2-dimensional surface with a fas- cinating illusion of space and perspective. Its design, depending on the content, has to comply with many factors such as the concept, an existing corporate identity, recognizability, readability originality, and of course artistic expression. But, how can a poster function under all these demands? What is design quality? What demands are put on the designer? Does the informa- tional content, on the one hand, and the medium of print, on the other hand, require a different approach to finding design solutions? How many design possibilities are there and which is the right one? How do you achieve an optimal result? Can the design process in turn have an influence on the content message? In the workshop we will analyze and question the approach- es necessary for a dynamic, contextually correct and aesthetically successful poster design.

  • How Interaction Design for Ceramics Exhibition Will Help Audiences to Have a Better Experience in Museums
    How interaction design for ceramics exhibition will help audiences to have a better experience in museums. A thesis submitted to the Graduate School College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design in the School of Design of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning by Fei Xie July 24, 2013 B.E., Automation School, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), P. R. China, 2010 Committee: Craig M. Vogel, MID Chair Katie Parker, MFA Member Renee Seward, MGD Member Abstract The common ways of offering information and educating visitors in museums are providing audio, interpretive signs and video displays. However, non-interactive ways don’t work well at engaging audiences. Artifacts in most museums are not allowed to be touched by visitors. They are usually put into glass display cabinets for protection. This thesis focuses on identify issues of user experience design in museums and define interactive product requirements for museum exhibitions as a harmonious whole system in order to provide audiences exciting experiences during visiting. Among archaeological artifacts, ceramics play an important role in understanding a region’s culture and technology. However, for audiences from a different cultural background, it is hard to understand when there is a lack of contextual information. There are also lots of stories behind ceramics, which are worth detailed explanations. However, only a limited amount of information can be presented to audiences in the museums. For that reason, this thesis uses ceramics as an entry point and discusses how to present knowledge of exhibition subject and artifacts information to audiences by using interaction designs.

THE REGISTRAR OF THE UNIVERSITY To the President of the University: SIR~The year 1946-47 brought a considerable number of difficult ;tdmis­ sion problems that were different from those of the previous year.

The enrollm~nt of serviCe men and women was 'increased from 7,280 in 1945-46 to 14,486 in 1946-47. ,Additional comments on enrollments for the 'year 1946-47 will be found later on in this report under the Statistical Ser:vice. ' Personnel.-Although there has been a decided trend of improvements in the training and experience of our new persomiel, nevertheless, we are still having considerable difficulty in securing members of the staff who desire permanency.
