Considerations
in
designing a K-Wall:
How will it be used?
Does it provide background info? Will many people be trying to see
it at once?
Will
it provide essential info for breakouts?
How long is the event?
If the event is long, it’s not always necessary that the walls be
complete when participants first walk in the door.
Who are the participants?
What are the expectations
of the sponsors
and the participants?
How many hypertiles
and panels will the assignments require?
Many
questions can be answered by consulting the strawdog.

Gather
materials first (articles, books, quotes, images)
Talk to the source of
the material to find out where the emphasis is
Find out if a theme has
been established |
|
|
Lay
your design out on paper
before doing it directly onto the wall

The
“Rule of Thirds”
is
a good
concept to keep in mind while designing your K-Wall
The “Rule of Thirds”
is well known to students ofphotography. The idea is that focal points
in a picture are most pleasing when placed at the intersections of
the dotted lines. The yellow circle indicates the most pleasing position
of all (to us in the west) as this is the place where Western people
begin when reading. |

|
Maintain
awareness of the graphic theme used in the title of the event or
on the nametags and try to incorporate it throughout your wall(s)
This isn't always easy
to do in the midst of the flurry of event preparations, but it's
nice when it happens!
