The total time spent from the initial sketching to the end product was over the span of 3 days. At first, I decided to present the letterpress artifact as I wanted the museum exhibit label to incorporate the 1400s type which was the Humanists and Blackletter types. I would also like to challenge myself by completing the project fully digitally, as I was not familiar with the process and would like to get better at it. However, after sketching and deciding on the layout, I hit a wall where I could not produce the effect I wanted. I was unhappy with the progress and felt that even if I completed it I would not be satisfied with the end product so I restarted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, I chose the artifact based on my interest in photography, and it came to mind to decide to present the Camera Obscura. Instead of choosing the first camera invented (which was in 1816). I have chosen the Camera Obscura because it was around in the 1400s (as many famous painters of the time have been accused of using the optical aid) and I would be able to use the Humanist and Blackletter type as I have originally wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The display type that I have chosen for the heading is Goudy and the body text is Garamond. The illustration on the right has a heavy use of lines to replicate the woodcut illustrations used at the time. The person in the middle is a museum visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, I was more satisfied with the process of sketching and also putting the display together. I also enjoyed the process of researching the Camera Obscura and learning about the origins of the camera we now know today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
