An on-site study was conducted to observe how the audience approached and interacted with the exhibit. The redesigned signage needed to appeal to all ages, be read from a comfortable distance and should enhance the hands-on experience. This redesign takes an analog approach to typography as the focal point. A worn-out dimensional effect was created using multiple layers of transparency paper. Sandpaper was used to scrape away toner from the transparencies using different motions on the type. The effect created a vibrational movement used in the main heading of the signage.
