Nuclear Fission Exhibition Design

A series of exhibition designs for for the scientific process of Nuclear Fission. The series is for a client from the St. Louis Science Center and a complete exhibition identity was required for the project. Prior research of the subject was required and needed to complete the series designs. These exhibition panels focused on a presenting information to viewers of all ages. Illustrations within the panels are kept very simple to make all imagery recognizable to viewers of all ages and background. The color palette consists of very cool-toned cyan and yellow, interacting with supporting colors of white and black. Panels are presented on small chalkboards, presenting influence of academic environment. These panels will also become interactive for viewers, allowing patrons to complete puzzles by making marks with chalk sticks. The panels are designed to be simple, clear and informative for viewers, while also maintaining visual appeal. An informational motion video was created to demonstrate the process of nuclear fission. This video was inspired by 1950's educational films and includes audio from Seeburg background music record instrumental N6A (1964). Audio was recorded, edited, and mixed using Reaper software.

Stage boards contain slim, vintage borders to provide a strong focus to stages. Stage background color unified for every step of the process and differs from informational boards. Design influence derives from the 1950's.

Process illustrations are presented very spaciously to enhance readability and understanding. Steps within the process are given motion attributed by hand illustrated arrows. A simple color palette provides for the imagery to pop off of the textured background.

Recogizable imagery is presented to inform viewers of contributions connected with significant figures.
