The Infinite Museum (theinfinitemuseum.com) is the product of a semester-long project by Virginia Ball Center students. The goal of the class was to create a website that could be used in the David Owsley Museum of Art filled with short prompts and an area to respond to them, where applicable.
This entire project to create publicity for the Infinite Museum started with this brochure(below). Our original flyer to show off the project was available for people to take at the front desk for several months and was rarely picked up; it just wasn't eye-catching. Wanting to promote the Infinite Museum, I decided to create a new brochure to better represent the website. From that, I was asked to create several other items for the site.
For the brochure, I wanted to create something colorful and fun to catch the eyes of our college student visitors. The prompts for this work of art pulled from the website for this particular design has been our most popular yet. Most of the prompts related to the work are comical and popular among Ball State Students.
From this, I continued to display the funnier prompts when making any type of promotion for the site.
The following images were stanchion sign inserts to be placed around the gallery. Each sign and it's obverse (left and right) were placed between the two works of art that they depicted so visitors could read the sign and view the work of art itself at the same time.
Each of these 2-sided cards were created for DOMA's PechaKucha talks at Final Friday events. These events are meant to promote conversation among people who, often times, are strangers. Tables would be set out with stacks of these cards for visitors to read and start conversations.
