Museums in a Shifting Paradigm: Defining a New Normal

When you were younger, you probably chose to visit the nearby mall rather than the local art gallery. Malls, like museums, are brimming with vibrant colors and patterns. What was it about the retail industry that was so appealing to the general public? What can museums learn from retail when it comes to becoming socially "active and influential agencies"?

To keep visitors coming back to museums, artifacts had to be fascinating, displays had to be appealing, information had to be readily available, and exhibitions had to be rotated on a regular basis. The concept of a museum as a social benefit has never been static and is always evolving. As a signages specialist in Davao City we have achieved a new concept of what a museum is solely with signages. We give a Total Sensory Experience through our work.

Interactive Systems

Museums used to be places exclusive for elite people only. It used to be understood that the artifacts displayed at museums are expensive and only for the privileged. Later on the purpose of museums changed to open for the public. 

At some point, it did call people to come and be amused with the images and memento’s displayed. However, later on as people have changed, everything we see starts to be pretty empty and nonsensical. 

Not until we created interactive systems that are not only appealing to the eyes but may also need your 5 senses to fully understand what the museum is trying to teach us about. For instance: feeling the texture of certain artifacts with synthetic materials, smell the authentic scent of various leaves or flowers that are used for perfumes and other scented materials, see the various types of animals and information about them with interaction of rolling pictures seen through a magnifying glass or infographics that could scan QR codes using smartphones.

Exhibitions and Displays

Now we’ve got stories to tell and history to remake. Now it's a matter of attraction on the displays and exhibits. What would matter most would be a uniform overall design or layout that will help visitors focus on the content. You could wish to pick a prominent picture for the title wall or opening panel, as well as the invitation, brochure, and publicity. These could all be procured with Davao printing services that promise quality printing especially with our UV printer.

Supporting mounts will be required for signages. Elevating chosen artifacts can also draw attention to them and provide aesthetic appeal, especially if the exhibition cabinet has a lot of empty vertical space. 

Summary

We do not only provide printouts, layouts and designs, we are also a Signage Manufacturer in Davao City. We are your one-stop printing solution service. We make sure that our layout and signage would fit in the existing design of the location where it would be placed. 

An applied environmental graphics design, our forte, works to make not only a design or print out that is placed there for aesthetics. It makes an impact on the overall beauty that it is made for. For instance, it would give off a better aura of interest and focus to museum tourists. 

We can do more for your project and that we would love to talk about. Our imagination keeps oozing out for more state of the art attractions for a new museum and art to work on.
