Planning and Designing Interpretive Media - 3-5 September, 2013. We are taking reservations for our Planning/Design of Interpretive Media course at Plas tan y Bwlch (Snowdonia National Park Training Center) Wales, UK. The course is limited to 12 participants to allow for lots of one-on-one design assistance on individual projects. This course will focus on: - What makes a panel interpretive vs. just "informational"? - Tilden's interpretive principles in interpretive text development and design. - Interpretive writing that Provokes, Relates, and Reveals. - Say it with less than 100 words (visitors won't usually read more). - Can you get you message understoon in 15 seconds? That's all the time you have on average. - Interpretive panels planning guidelines. - Interpretive exhibits planning guidelines. - Exhibit load and outcomes planning. - New interpretive panel materials - high pressure laminants (see photos) Samples will be provided too. - Evaluation of interpretation media - pre and post test evaluations. - Development of successful web sites. - and more. Participants are asked to bring interpretive panel or exhibit design/planning projects with them to work on in the course.

The course is supported by the Countryside Counsel of Wales. No square panels - panels DON'T need frames either :) Release your creativity. PS.
