Introduction: totaldesign

project totaldesign.It is about museums; from coming up with a name,display/signage, to researching and documentation, interpretation of the objects displayed,publication and publicity.
There is a client in kerala who wants to set up a museum about kerala for local,national and international audiences.
In this project each of us are to choose a topic (related to kerala and its traditional arts) and on doing a thorough research on it, come up with a suitable display system for it keeping in mind the concept of total design.

The concept of 'total design' gives the designer the authority over content along with packaging it.It involves working with all aspects of communication using various media.We will look at and discuss the current museum display systems and their drawbacks, to see what not to do.The museum is to be an experience more than a highly informative space.
