Walls are an empty canvas, so don’t let them go to waste. Consider using gobos created with moving lights, as a quick and easy way to completely transform the look of a room. The same lights can be programmed to project other effects and colour schemes throughout your event, so they have multiple uses! #eventsinspo #eventtech #projection #gobos #creativelighting

Last week, I talked about exhibits having a unique ability to defy expectations. I mentioned that not all objects will be at eye level; some encourage you to cast your eyes to the skies, and this bat-themed room is no exception. To give the experience of being taken into a foggy sky, I added some fog effects on the floor, a moon, and stars. Also, I added some more different styles of bats to give this a unique "batty experience." If you look closely, you will see a preview of tomorrow's posting. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below, and for my #eventprofs, share how you make people look at unexpected places in your exhibits/tradeshow booths/attractions to create a unique experience for visitors. #ImmersiveDesign #ExhibitDesign #ExperientialDesign #SpatialDesign #Design #Experience

I decided to take it slow this Monday and give a three-month teaser post. Some of you are asking, what's a three-month teaser post? In a nutshell, I'm displaying pieces that will be used for three different months of content. Displayed are pieces for a ball pit for April's "Fairy Grotto," ice cream cones that are the perfect vessel for an ice cream-inspired garden for July's "Scoops of Joy: An Ice Cream World," and some trees, lollipops, and a cauldron for October's "Frightfully Eerie Delights." Throughout the year, I will be doing posts like this to tease various exhibits in the works. Share your thoughts in the comments section below. #ImmersiveDesign #EventProfs #ExhibitDesign #ExperientialDesign #SpatialDesign #Design #Experience

I wanted to end the month with another post from "Sparky's Skeeball Paradise." Today, I decided to lay out the screens for the Carnival and Ice Cream areas and reveal the location and base work for the Snow Globe area. Team Snow Globe will not be too happy about its location. However, this was an intentional design decision. No, it was to aim at Team Snow Globe, but there were other factors. Here's a little teaser for 2025. The Fest project will be kicking off 2025 with another snow globe exhibit. Knowing the lines would be long, I wanted to put it in a location to accommodate the long lines. Also, a Sparky Globe from that distance will be an effective attention grabber. Stay tuned in the coming weeks as I share the final space for the room. Also, I still have to add another Velvet Sparky for the right wall and decorate the back LED wall leading to another space with food trucks and prizes. Share your thoughts in the comments section below. #ImmersiveDesign #EventProfs #ExhibitDesign #MeetingProfs #ExperientialDesign #SpatialDesign #Design #Experience

𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 - 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 Innovation is often spawned by focusing on the familiar patterns and objects in our lives that we take for granted. We don’t tend to notice or question their utility or potential, until suddenly we do. The seeds of innovation are hidden in plain sight. Ernie Fraze invented the pop-top soda can because he went on a picnic and forgot to bring a can opener. Jack Dorsey, created Square, after being fascinated by the inefficiency of the clunky black credit card readers that sat on every retail counter. Mary Anderson invented windshield wipers after riding on a trolly in NYC and realizing how dangerous it was to drive in bad weather. Tony Fadell was obsessed with his home thermostat that he walked by multiple times a day. Why couldn’t he control the temperature when he was away? He founded Nest. My great uncle, Dan Hurley, patented a version of the egg carton after watching too many eggs break as they were carried home in baskets. Opportunities to innovate often are right in front of us but they involve subjects or situations that are so mundane that we fail to pay attention. We'd spark more breakthroughs if we could somehow manage to look at the familiar— our customers, products and processes—as if seeing them for the first time. To do so, we need to get out of our own bubble. We need to observe from the outside in. IDEO’s Tom Kelley notes in his book, “The Ten Faces of Innovation,” people fail to notice opportunities that may be right in front of them because they stop looking too soon and focus on the foreground to the exclusion of the background. What problem in life or business do you wish you could solve that’s hiding in plain sight? #innnovation #invention #plainsight #notice #photographyislife #photography "𝘏𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘙𝘢𝘣𝘣𝘪𝘵," Denver Botanical Gardens 2023

Museum Consulting | Coaching for Nonprofit Professionals | Play based learning through Exhibits and Museum goodness!!
I was being introduced recently and the speaker said... ...she's great with manipulatives! (my mind automatically went to manipulation and 😳 ) No matter what you call them... they are the loose parts that occupy your museum by the hundred OR THOUSANDS (if you're lucky). In our session at the Association of Children's Museums annual conference this year we talked about how you can take one of your favorite loose parts and turn it into the focus of a full on Transitional Exhibit**! Here you'll see how the Golisano Children's Museum of Naples leaned into the foam brick option from Playlearn USA and created a transitional space that specifically focused on Building Materials. Beyond the THOUSANDS of bricks that were available, there were... tool belts hard hats storage areas seating wall graphics a special logo and even a wooden climber to build around! This is how Transitional Exhibits take shape. Not just a building material put out in the middle of a space, but a space with compliments to make the building material shine and to bring inspiration to all the young contractors, brick layers, laborers, artists, designers, architects, demo experts and supervisors. What loose parts exhibit is your most favorite? Is there a building material you wish you had THOUSANDS of as a kid?? #Looseparts #museumexhibit #exhibitdesign #transitionalexhibits ** What's a Transitional exhibit?? - a space that has changing activities created by the museum. Exhibits that can go into storage and then pop back out for a shorter period of time to create a new exhibit space. Not a traveling exhibit, not facilitated by staff, not just a cart of blocks in an empty room, but a full exhibit that just 'pops up' and fits right in with the rest of the museum exhibits.
