1. Goals: The
designs
I
worked
on
this
quarter
are
all
components
of
a
large,
temporary
interpre:ve
display
at
our
Refuge
Visitor
Center.
Our
Refuge
is
remote,
so
not
many
people
ever
actually
get
to
visit,
and
it
is
difficult
to
relate
current
research
to
our
visitors.
My
goal
with
the
overall
panel
is
to
bring
relevant
informa:on
about
KiElitz’s
Murrelet
research
to
a
general
audience;
hopefully,
the
audience
will
come
away
with
a
beEer
understanding
of
how
scien:sts
study
a
rare
species,
what
concerns
managers
have
for
the
bird,
and
feel
a
stronger
sense
of
respect
and
stewardship
for
the
natural
world.
Audience: The
audience
is
a
wide
mix
of
people.
We
have
all
ages,
from
toddlers
to
elderly
adults.
The
scien:fic
nature
of
this
display
is
geared
more
towards
adults,
since
there
are
many
other
displays
geared
towards
children.
The
audience
may
have
very
liEle
scien:fic
background
with
no
previous
experience
in
Kodiak,
or
could
be
knowledgeable
local
community
members
who
are
engaged
in
the
scien:fic
community.
Most
visitors
are
in
groups.
Message: When
readers
are
finished
reading
my
informa:on,
I
want
them
to
know
that:
The
Kodiak
NWR
is
currently
trying
to
understand
more
about
the
ecology
and
habitat
of
a
rare
seabird,
the
KiElitz’s
MurreleE,
in
an
effort
to
protect
a
diminishing
popula:on.
Sub-­‐messages
depend
on
the
subject
in
each
panel.

3. My
first
design
is
intended
as
a
main
panel
as
part
of
the
display,
introducing
the
sec:on
about
the
summer
research.
I
like
the
color
combo
and
the
text
contrast,
but
I
broke
out
some
of
the
info
into
two
separate
frames
for
a
beEer
focus
in
the
following
week.

5. The
previous
two
designs
were
experiments
in
proximity
and
alignment,
as
I
moved
the
:tles
closer
to
the
text
body
and
played
with
different
leR
and
right
alignment.

7. The
previous
slide
was
an
experiment
with
a
different
panel,
prac:cing
contrast
through
font,
color,
and
the
photo
itself
(the
chick
in
front
and
the
blurred
mountain
create
depth).
I
ended
up
liking
the
:tle
font
more
than
I
thought
I
would…

9. The
previous
slide
was
an
experiment
in
style.
I
took
a
similar
design
from
within
our
visitor
center
and
adapted
it
for
this
project.
I
like
the
clean,
elegant
combina:on
of
fonts,
colors,
and
the
muted
background.
I
think
I
might
use
this
for
most
of
the
text-­‐rich
panels,
and
only
use
the
bright,
colorful
photos
for
a
few
larger
panels
throughout.

11. I’m
s:ll
not
sure
if
I’ll
use
this
as
the
actual
design
that
goes
up
in
the
visitor
center,
but
it
is
a
start.
I
went
back
to
one
of
the
first
panels
I
worked
on
and
tweaked
the
image,
the
fonts,
the
color
scheme,
and
the
alignment,
as
well
as
rewri:ng
the
text.
