How modern design techniques are changing the exhibition design industry Aims and objectives: Exhibition design has evolved highly within the past century. What was once a fairly straight forward design discipline, has advanced into a multi-disciplinary area that goes far beyond common practices. With the introduction of new digital techniques i.e. 3D modelling programs, CAD software, etc., a new perspective has been put onto the overall design process of exhibition design. This paper seeks to explore the advantages of using these new design techniques in combination with traditional techniques. In particular, this case study seeks to address the following topics: 1. To establish the benefits of modern exhibition design techniques 2. To contribute a more thorough understanding of the exhibition design process 3. To identify the characteristics of the design process as they relate to exhibition design My time studying on the FDA programme has led me to pursue a career within the exhibition design industry. The work experience placement that I undertook at ‘Clearview Expo’ has helped to enforce this choice due to experiencing the client / designer input at a very personal level. I feel that this is the career path that I would like to develop within, as it allows me to fully contribute to the design industry. Upon leaving this course, I intend to sacrifice a few years interning / working for several exhibition design orientated companies, in order to gain a wealth of experience and to build a substantial portfolio of work. In order to enhance my knowledge on my chosen design discipline, I have decided to write this case study on exhibition design and the design process that surrounds it. This is mainly due to experiencing these... ... middle of paper ... ...tching. These above mentioned programs are types of building information modelling (BIM) software. The main advantage to using BIM software, is that any changes made in one view are automatically integrated into the whole 3D model. So only one change has to be made, compared to having to hand draw all related drawings. Once elevations, floor plans and models have all been produced, the next step in the design process involves that of image renders. Rendering is a term used within the creative industry used to describe the visual enhancement of drawings. Image renders make them easier to understand by the client and also allows design presentations to be visually communicated easier. Rendering an image essentially adds depth to two-dimensional drawings and in turn makes them appear three-dimensional. These image renders used to be highly detailed depending on the

There is some debate about the purpose of The Broighter Horde, in which The Broighter Boat was found. Originally thought to be a votive offering uncovered on the English coast, the courts were quick to dismiss this argument in order to take possession of the find and donate them to the Royal Irish Academy. The sculptor of the boat is unknown but it stands out as a prime example of artisans' skill during the La Tène period of Celtic craftsmanship and artistry. The La Tène period defined the Celts as a viable culture. Their civilization was such that it was able to acquire the day-to-day needs of the people giving them time to perfect various forms of metal working and other refined forms of art. The La Tène style spanned approximately 400 years between 500 and 100 BCE. La Tène represents the first pinnacle of achievement or prosperity of Celtic art, illustrating the flourishing and expanding growth of the Celtic empire. Coincidentally, during this period the Celts stopped cremation of the dead and began to bury the bodies of their dead. The resultant increase of burial sites with hoards of personal possessions and household items buried with the dead person in order to facilitate one's enjoyment of the afterlife, has provided a cache of artifacts that contributes to understanding this Celtic civilization.
BIM contains precise geometry and relevant data needed to support the design, procurement, fabrication, and construction required to recognize the building (Eastman et al. 2008). Basically, the purpose of BIM is to simulate the construction environment in a virtual database that can be used during the physical construction as well as a virtual model for operations and maintenance after construction is finished. In the beginning, you have access all areas of the project and can determine whether certain areas will need more time in design, where various clashes may happen, or what could be changed for a lower cost. or to speed up the building phase. In his article, Salaman Azhar said, “It is important to note that BIM is not just software, it is a process and software. BIM means not only using three-dimensional intelligent models but also making sig...
Industries including shipbuilding, automotive, industrial, prosthetics, aerospace and architectural design and many more are frequently and extensively using many applications of CAD. Digital content creation (DCC) is a component of CAD which is widely used to making computer animation for technical manuals and certain effects advertising. The availability of computer allows everyone to design products by using principles of CAD. Due to its high financial vital, CAD has been a real main impetus for research in computer design, geometry and discrete differential geometry.
The world is developing every day and we continue to discover new and innovative ways to better our quality of life. A trend that everyone seems to be focused on is saving the environment, which is also known as sustainable living. Not only does this apply to our lifestyle and environment, but it also translates into design. Sustainable living is becoming more popular around the world and is a lifestyle using skillful and sensitive design. It eliminates negative environmental impact and requires renewable resources. We each have decided to research different furniture companies to broaden our knowledge of the innovative practices used in each company. Throughout our paper we will introduce each of our companies and the products and practices they use to produce sustainable furniture. Our research will show that sustainable furniture design is beneficial to consumers by allowing them to live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle as their manufacturers develop innovative ways to make renewable furniture.

While 2D animation is hand drawn with subtle changes from its previous one then put in a sequences to creates the illusion of movement, 3D animation uses computers to help create the sense of motion. The procedure of 3D generation falls into three main sections: layout and animation, modeling and rendering. First, a layout artist would begin to break 2D storyboards into 3D shots. They refer to the production designs and models to build location scenes and important props, to position the characters and camera angles and movements they would like inserted into the game. The layout artist are responsible for staging all the shots, plotting the actions taken within each scene, and also making sure the voiceovers and musical soundtrack mingle with the images correctly. It is up to the layout artists to determine how long the scene shall be. After finishing drawing the layouts,the animators begin to start modeling the scene. Modeling is the phase that describes the procedure of generating 3D objects within a certain scene. In modeling, animators first start off with a simple object, called a primitive, and begin to mold it to a shape where it can be improved and detailed. The most common modeling used is box modeling, which they
In some cases, three dimensional visualization can be considered as a situation where the viewer of an image tends to experience the illusion of depth upon looking at an image; such an experience can be felt in a cinema filming say a 3D movie or in the working of a 3D printer as it transforms a two dimensional digital image into a three dimensional image. 3D visualization can be accomplished with the aid of CAD data, 3D model and any sketches and images that you may be

Throughout the world, there are an abundance of diverse cultures, each truly unique in comparison to another. Culture is described as the “characteristics of a particular group of people, defined by everything from language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts” (Zimmermann). Each of these traits is what sets each society apart, and is what influences their expression of design. Throughout this course, we’ve learned how planning and design have varied all through history, however we decided to take it a step further and focus on how different regions throughout the world create spaces that reflect their own cultures’ particular interests. Being a group composed entirely of Interior Design majors, our emphasis is investigating the use of material, color, motifs and layouts of their interior spaces, and how they reflect their societies. Not only do we explore a culture’s influence on design, but we briefly touch on environmental factors as well. Of all of the regions throughout the world, we decided to focus our research on the cultural practices and designs of Mexico, India, and Japan. Our reasoning behind centering on these three cultures is that these cultures are some of the most well-known, yet each entirely distinct within their own way, thus providing a greater understanding of design styles around the world.
The design of a building, garment or object can impact greatly on the lives of millions, and change the way society functions and programs. In stating this, social change can also result in new designs and strategies to keep up with social needs and requirements. Design can either be an outcome of a change in society, or the cause of societal change. Designer George Nelson claims that ‘Design is a response to social change’; this essay will discuss both the impact that design has on social change and the influence social change has on design. Through analyzing different design and historical examples such as modern High-Rise buildings, new design developments, as well as graphic design due to the industrial revolution, it will be clear as to whether design is driven by societal change or vise versa. Along with stating this, there will also be thorough information on the evolution of toilets and progression of telephones over the years.
The creation of 3D computer graphics consists of modelling, scene layout setup, and rendering. The modelling part could be described as shaping individual objects that are later used in the scene. There are some modelling techniques such as Constructive Solid Geometry, NURBS modelling and polygonal modelling. Editing object surface or material properties such as color, luminosity, diffuse and specular shading components are included in modelling processes.
Design is all about creativity. It is about making something that has not been created before. This concept is appropriate for interior design, which is the art or process of designing an interior space. It requires natural talents, yet a designer’s skills can be developed throughout their time in practice. The designer’s main goal is to satisfy their client’s desire in terms of style for their preferred space. They are required to evaluate the floor plan of each area in order to come up with a concept and design. Laura Day is one of the most famous people in this field of study during this era. However, behind every great design are months and months of preparations. In order to make an extraordinary room design, there are four main stages that the designer needs to undergo; these stages are programming, design development, construction document and installation.
...ressions make a huge difference in the business decisions it’s important for businesses to think about how their property looks. It doesn’t matter if it’s a small park or a big movie theatre it’s all about making the customer or business look good. When a person enters a place of entertainment they want to be welcomed and want to have memories of a good time and things to talk about to their friends which is why the importance of designs in everything needs to be well thought as it sets the moods for all occasions.
The term user-centred design is used to describe design processes in which the end user, consumer or customer is involved in and has a direct influence on the design. (Abras & Maloney-Krichmar & Preece, 2004: 1). This review will discuss the question of whether involving the end user in the design process is in fact helpful, or not. A set of five articles will be discussed to evaluate the user’s involvement in the design process. The five articles referred to are as follows;
