What we did well:
The specific contexts are reflected in the
design.
The product design is well executed and
technically sound.
The interaction design caters for a diverse
audience / is easy to understand.
What we should have done better:
We should have agreed with our client on a
clear target (ROI) of the expected impact of the
exhibits.
The exhibits should be more thought-provoking
The exhibit design process should have
involved audience consultation.
The exhibits should have been linked to the
online world.
