GD 2: Museum Project: Part 3

I finished my narrative piece that I have spent the last couple of days attempting to perfect. After my third attempt through, I was able to make the 5.25 inch floppy function as a proper housing to the brochure that is inside of it. The brochure functions as both an introduction to the museum as well as a map labeling the areas within the museum and what to expect in them. In theory, this would be something given out as a limited edition version of the brochure before the museum opens and on opening day. I can attest, I love collecting exclusive giveaways, one inside of a floppy disk at a computer museum would satisfy the nerd in me.

Here are a couple screen caps:

Once I finished it today I took a few photos for the Process Book to show the completed brochure in it’s form:

floppy goodness:

Welcome:

Fold-out Map:

I’ll be wrapping up the project tomorrow by finishing the Process Book and getting it bound. If I had more time I’d probably use Blurb to get it printed, but I can always do that later.

Something I am working on as part of my Museum Project for GD2. This is actually the first spread of part of the narrative piece in the project. The 5x5 inch pages will be inside of a 5 1/4 floppy drive (re: these) and contain a 10 1/8 inch square, fold-out map of the museum labeling the exhibits and their locations within the building.  I used to live in Chicago just over a decade ago and since I miss it, I’ve decided to place my fictional museum in the 37 Block of downtown Chicago across from Marshall Field’s at the corner of State Street and Washington Street.
