Functional considerations:
- Has traffic flow been planned for in the gallery space?
- How has the space been designed to serve multiple purposes (frame shop; openings; boutique, etc.)? Do you see any potential problems with traffic flow or the exhibition of artworks? If so, what are they?
- Describe the typographic aesthetics: evaluate its effectiveness. How do the choices of fonts, etc. on the signs and signage complement or detract from the artwork?
- Is there visual unity of elements/components within the displays in the gallery space and within the window displays? Explain why or why not?
Is there a clear information hierarchy throughout? If so, how is this achieved? - Does the gallery seem to have a visual style? If so, describe it. Is it appropriate to the type of gallery this is? Why or why not?
- Describe the overall message of the gallery (as you understand it) in one sentence. You may wish to refer to the gallery website.
- Does the organization of the work in the gallery have a linear sequence (a beginning and ending point), or is it a fluid sequence (the visitor can start at any point in the exhibit and move to any other point?)?
- Is the type of sequence effective? If not, how would you improve it?
- What do you believe would be the most and least popular aspects of this gallery space for visitors under the age of 25?
- What are the most and least popular aspects of this gallery for visitors over the age of 25?
