Description

As a Cooperative Project in 2017, PolyU Design collaborated with the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO), to work on their 2018 Open Day, aiming to enhance visitors’ experience. This multidisciplinary nine-week project involved students from Advertising Design, Communication Design, Environment & Interior Design, and Product Design.

Students developed communication strategies for the Open Day such as social media promotion, souvenir items, leaflets and game booth ideas, with the aim to attract visitors and enhance HKO’s brand and visual identity.

Students presented final concepts and design ideas after nine weeks, and two particular souvenir designs were chosen by HKO for publication and adaptation for 2018 Open Day.

The Cloud Collector, as a souvenir for the Open Day, was designed with a user-friendly aim and educational purpose. The Cloud Collector includes representational graphics of 10 different kinds of clouds and adopts a dynamic approach with overlapping elements and various shapes.

Another souvenir item is the DIY Typhoon Signal. Students adopted the old typhoon visual signal system that was used since 1884, and transformed it into a DIY souvenir that visitors can assemble themselves.

Students from different design disciplines participated in this project and also had proposed other design ideas such as the entrance design, weather badges, brochures, weather portals, exhibition railing and text panels.
