Bit clearer but also confused


Ok so now I know that I am looking at exhibition design, however It is rather large and I'm not entirely sure what area to focus on. I have narrowed it down to three areas...

1 - Exhibition navigation, publication, publicity design. 

2 - Interactive exhibition (information screens, videos, people interacting with the space).

3 - Taking Exhibitions outside the gallery/museums walls.

All of these have potential, which makes it hard. I have chosen this area because it is something I would like to get into, which is great but I think that this has effected my decisions. I want to get into the navigation systems and publicity of an exhibition, which could be something I could write a report on but then that in its self is rather broad. Where as if I chose idea 2 or 3 it is a specific topic for the report, however if I chose say, how colour or symbols are use in exhibitions as a navigation system, that could work also. See now I am coming up with even more areas to confuse me. 

My next plan of action is to make a list of areas that I could look at and draw a line through ones that are too broad. Then I'm going to look up on the internet and in the books I have from the library and see if the areas are in there. I will also go to visit a couple of galleries and hopefully that will inspire me as well as giving me resources. I think also I need to work out whether I want to look at Art galleries or museums or both. Depending on the area I pick I could use it as a contrast. Right Im going to do alot of research and thinking and then by the end of tomorrow, I will know what I'm focusing on.

    Not sure if this is relevant, but i like the idea of walking in leicester square one day and suddenly realize that i'm in the middle of an exhibition, about the history of the West End theatres, or something like that, i dunno..just read what you wrote and thought that it was interesting. Unfortunately, i dont have any links for you on this.. :(
