A way to make our exhibit a little more pleasing to the eye?

Hey Kara,

So I was walking home last night from my evening class and I came across a house that had Christmas lights on it. I know that we're creating our exhibit that highlights the Christmas Truce of 1914, so seeing the Christmas lights on someone's home kind of inspired me so to say. I think that for exhibit table we should implement the use of Christmas lights just because it seems fitting for the theme of which our exhibit will be discussing to our audience anyway, I even managed to snap a photo. I'll include the photo I took from my phone. (Don't mind the cell phone quality).

My mom works in marketing and I thought some of their practices could be used in our exhibit. From what I have learned from my mom is that it's all about how you present your material to your audience. Colors, layout, and the wording of labels need to be visually appealing to draw people in. When we create our visual aides, we need to find a way that catches people's attention, and come up with a "catchy title" for the exhibit. The use of social media is important as well. We could create a guided snapchat story that visitors put together to share their experience with a certain part of the exhibit.

I am finding great pictures today, hoping this will kick-start my creative thinking this morning. I really like the headline of the second picture and I think it would be great to formulate a question around that for the display where visitors can answer on post-it notes.

I love this illustration by the London News and think we should incorporate it into the exhibit somehow.

Hey Josh!
When I went home this weekend and talked about our project to my mom, she had a great idea. Since it will be Christmas time and we will be discussing the Christmas truce, what if we had visitors to our exhibit write Christmas cards to soldiers who are currently deployed? We could get ROTC involved and see what we would have to do and where to send it and so on.
