DAY 7
After the past few days of analysing our case studies and designing templates for our team’s digital exhibition concepts, we have begun to prepare for making our final concept design!

Today we began by learning how to use interactive PDF’s using InDesign as we will be using this to create a template of how we would like our digital exhibitions to look and function. We have been exploring the possible ways to indicate to users that aspects of our pages are interactive, and how we might indicate this.

Above is an example of one of our tests. This example allows users to scroll over the case studies and gain more information about them before clicking to learn more.

DAY 6
Today our four teams began producing draft templates of how they might want their digital exhibitions to look.

Shown above is a preview of the Didcot A Team’s proposal. This digital exhibition would be presented as an interactive wheel, displaying categories related to the design and life cycle of the power stations. When hovering over the category the user might be interested in, more information would be shown on the right-hand side of the page.

The team chose to design the exhibition in this way so that users would easily be able to find the information they might be looking for.

DAY 6
Today our four teams began producing draft templates of how they might want their digital exhibitions to look.

Shown above is a preview of the West Burton Team’s proposal. This digital exhibition would be presented as a scrollable timeline with interactive images and text as you make your way down the page. The team decided on this concept as it is easy for all users to understand and navigate through and it would be easily applicable to the other case studies work.

The timeline approach proved to be a popular theme among our teams as three case study groups presented similar proposals at our end of day presentations.
