This blog is open for comments from anyone in the IMLT program at Grant MacEwan College. Please feel free to comment on anything about the display that you liked, that you didn't like, things you think could have been improved upon, or things you felt worked well in the display. The assumption is that you have seen the displays in person, and are not relying on the sometimes bad photography to evaluate these displays! Thank you for any and all comments you may have.

Fairly eyecatching, but more because of the colour that the substance.
Very 2-D; the display is all flat to the back or all on the base.
I think it's rather refreshing to see a Canadian display amongst the other displays. I also have it on good authority from the creators of this display that they chose the red background because they were trying to acheive a visceral look, in keeping with the tone of Cronenberg's films.
Seems to work on two levels.
From a distance, the bright color, large text and photograph attract attention and draw a person in. Makes you think "who is this?" "what is this about?'
Then at the close-up level the detailed information fills you in enough to give a sense of whether you might like to borrow some of the items that are displayed.
I like this one, although it would work just about as well on a bulletin board. The colours stand out well even the title font. Though the flag is hard to see at first, it is a nice touch.
