Design Problem:
The Assam state museum faces the problem of not being able to attract sufficient
visitors . The museum is not promoted properly. Thus my task was to create
promotional materials for the museum.
Design Process:
The project started by making field trips to the museum.The project involved looking at museums from a broader prespective and knowing the role of a museum in a society. Contextual inquiry was done with the visitors of the museum and with the staff of the museum. On further analysis, it was found that inspite of having some interesting sections within the museum, the visitors were not exploring those sections. This led to the information not reaching the user completely, which resulted in the visitor not having a good experience.
Design Solution:
I came up with a redesign of the existing information brochure, but included an informative map in it. It shows the actual locations of the various sections, with supporting pictures.This allowed the users to get a better understanding of all the sections in the museum and also in a quick glance the kind of exhibits that are there. The information present in the brochure were highlighted from the set of interesting facts about the museum and its exhibits.
This way the interest in knowing about the museum increased with the users .
