Dimensional historical timelines have the power to transform any exhibit, elevating it from unimpressive to spellbinding.
Museum exhibits have long used timelines to communicate important events and milestones. These time-tested graphics are rich in detail and provide context to the viewer. In recent years, new and innovative exhibit tools have become available, delivering dynamic experiences that appeal to a wider audience.
In this article, we will explore how dimensional historical timelines can be used to create magical presentations that captivate viewers.
1. Share your compelling story.
No matter how customized a dimensional historical display may be, the content is at the heart of the exhibit and there is an art to its creation. Aside from being accurate and appealing, it must relay an interesting and coherent message. Think of the timeline as if it was the outline for the story you want to tell. The milestones included should help tie together this narrative. By weaving a spellbinding tale, viewers will be compelled to navigate each element of your timeline so they don’t miss a thing.
2. Put your audience in control.
Many historical timelines have the capability of being layered with tiers of facts and themes. Today’s platforms can even weave in images, audio recordings, videos, and other interactive features to create a more interesting and educational exhibit.This allows users to choose their preferred level of interaction for a more personalized, engaging experience that also hold tremendous potential for long-term value. It can involve viewers for an extended period of time, encourage further exploration of the organization’s website, and inspire repeat visitors.
3. Subtly sell your brand.
Branding is often more effective when it’s less obvious and more inspiring. For example, it can be used as a visual to depict your organization’s journey—where you’ve been, where you’re headed, your mission, your motivations, and who you serve. A carefully crafted history timeline allows you to create a deeply moving and inspiring narrative that captivates viewers and helps them to better understand your firm’s core values and the many benefits you bring to the world.
4. Get creative.
Different styles, themes, amounts of detail, use of imagery and color, ways of showing time progression—there’s no limit to the ways you can make dimensional timeline displays work for you. Why not give a nod to the future while looking back at your rich past? The sky is limit and our innovative artisans will help you design the perfect historical timeline to capture your organization’s fascinating story.
While the vehicles for presenting information continue to evolve, dimensional historical timelines remain the gold standard for showcasing rich organizational backgrounds. To derive the greatest benefit, timelines should carefully balance content, design, and originality.
