BRIEF
The exhibition had to have a telling narrative highlighting the many ways that World War I impacted the lives of the people of Georgia and the role that the state played during the war and in its aftermath.
CHALLENGES
Telling the compelling story of World War I in a way that would engage diverse audiences, from schoolchildren to adults and army veterans, was a challenge.
SOLUTION
Our team played a pivotal role in structuring and presenting the information that the state of Georgia played during World War I, which was strung together by a poignant narrative and telling of the effects of the devastating war. World War I witnessed large-scale tank combat, aerial warfare, and use of chemical weapons. Our design tried to capture the feel of a real battlefield through exhibits and prototypes of tanks, bunkers, artillery, war medals, etc.
