The following are sketches of how the exhibition will look like. Feel free to comment!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING YOUR PANELS
ABOUT THE CONTENTExplain through images (photos, diagrams, sketches, etc.) and a little amount of text (as little as possible! Think how painful is to read a lot in exhibitions) your case study and your vision.
The following are recommendations of what kind of information it should include, but it is depends on each case what you chose to present:
First of all, an interesting, empowering, sexy TITLE!
WHO
- The community
o Its context
o The problem
o The potentials
- The stakeholders
- The direct and indirect beneficiaries
WHY
- Your motivation to choose this case
- Why you believe this case has a chance for a best future
WHERE
- The physical location of your case (the exhibition designers are using geographical coordinates of each case location as part of the graphics. Please find the coordinates for your case! If you don’t have one precise location, just get one on the ‘area’)
WHAT
- The best possible scenario for 2020
o The ultimate goal
- The strategies, ideas, projects, etc. to get there
o They can be in a time-line or not… whatever suits your case better
YOU!
- Members of the team: name, country, age, background (profession, studies), e-mail
- Blog, wiki, webpaghttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gife, etc.
ABOUT THE GRAPHICSLAYOUT
- Download
here the Illustrator (version CS2) file with a layout example where you will put your images and texts in the best possible way to tell your story.
- The images and texts there are just to show you options.
- The layout is very flexible! The only constant should be to have the map and the cross marking geographically the location of your case. The layers called studentxxxxx can be changed as you wish
- Each team: Please choose one representative and make an appointment with the exhibition architects to develop a layout that works for your case.

- Photos, diagrammes, sketches, maps, etc. should be LARGE SIZE! The panels are 1.8 X 5.00 m. The images have to be 1:1
- Resolution: 150 dpi
- Types of files: TIFF or EPS
- Colours: CMYK
TEXT
- Texts in Finnish and English
- The following is an example of the use of font Lucida Sans (very common) and sizes for titles and general text. Please note that the font has changed! It was changed because this is now a family that has italics and regular styling. If you feel for some reason that you need to change the sizes, please confirm with Marco or Devon so all the boards remain consistent.
Titles:Lucida Sans, 45pt
Body text in English: Lucida Sans Demibold Roman, 36pt
Body text in Finnish: Lucida Sans Italic, 36pt
- It is recommended that you write the texts first in another file (e.g., word) and do not put it into the layout/Illustrator file until they are final. You can bring the texts to the tutoring so we check them together.
