The new media interactives translate dense content into intuitive experiences that reinforce the distinct visual identity and messaging objectives of each gallery. Considerations of the audience informed graphic design choices, animation styles, case-study selections, narrative design, and the casting of voice talent. For example, lesser-known aviation pioneers are introduced through the narrative concept of a student scrapbook, inviting young audiences to see more of themselves in the work, and move beyond the institutional authority of a disembodied curatorial voice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A Museum for All<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Museum prioritized the interpretive and accessibility requirements of all exhibits, so we prototyped and evaluated extensively to ensure that they met or exceeded standards. We closely engaged with the Institute for Human Centered Design and used the American Disabilities Act to ensure that the digital experiences are Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust\u2014each delivering the POUR principles of accessible exhibit design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The linear media production spotlighted on-camera interviews and dialogue-oriented commentary. NGX\u2019s team of editors, sound designers, animators, and videographers crafted films that delivered on the vision. Real-time problem-solving allowed those exhibits to remain on schedule through a dynamic regulatory landscape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
