Exhibition #1
This exhibition was set up at Bridgewater College in Washington, USA. From these images, it looks like there were plenty of resources at one's disposal. Proper materials were used to mount the exhibitors works onto and the finishing done looks very professional as well. Such materials include PVC (plastic) boards used as the structure having self-adhesive computer-cut graphics applied onto it. In terms of budget, I would say that it is a feasible project to implement since the aforementioned materials can be purchased from several suppliers in Malta and are relatively low-cost compared to other materials. This exhibition was not a permanent one, but one which was set up for a couple weeks. Lighting seems to be quite good but it still could be improved because it looks like the exhibitors did not exhibit their work according to lighting layout. From the found images, interactivity is to a bare minimum and this would lead to visitors not enjoying the exhibition as intended.
Exhibition #2
This exhibition was set up at Somerset College in Taunton, UK. From the found images one can note that it is quite a well laid out exhibition, which visitors can see in a rotary direction around the exhibits. The characters painted directly on the wall are a very intriguing aspect of the exhibited area, but not enough was done to prevent it from looking a dull exhibition. Although fire extinguishers are safety precaution, they really are interfering with the exhibition itself and more could have been done to at least camouflage it in the background. Materials and supplies used are very straight forward and easy to acquire.
Exhibition #3
This exhibition was set up at Corcoran College of Art & Design in Washington, USA. This exhibition's primary aim was to interact with the visitors, which looks like it was quite the success in this aspect, but with regards to the usage of space, it was rather side stepped because the only exhibits can be found on the walls. In my opinion, the exhibitors were not creative enough in the setting up because the amount of unused space would have been much better had it been used. Lighting is not bad and the white painted walls assists in light distribution in the whole room as well. Budget wise, this is a very feasible idea in terms of interactivity as all the supplies used are readily available.

Propjection Mapping Alternative: Audi A1
This projection mapping was designed for
Audi to launch its A1 model back in 2011.
Projecting onto the college tower has become a norm at the end of year
MCAST Art & Design Exhibition and visitors may somewhat expect it for every
upcoming exhibition, but others may find it repetitive to the previously held
exhibitions. One of the main reasons of
projecting onto a vehicle would be a success because it has never been done in
Malta yet, and since MCAST are sponsored by a nationally-renowned local vehicle
agent I am quite positive that this concept would work. A disadvantage which comes to mind is the
difficulty of allowing every visitor to see the projection mapping. The problem is that wherever the visitor is
situated during the opening ceremony they will see the projection without any
trouble, while when projecting on the vehicle not everyone present could see it
due to the amount of people present.
Projection Mapping: H&M Amsterdam
In November 2010, H&M brought their store to life with this mapped projection. The projection features a ribbon being untied around the building and several different surreal effects are projected onto it, showing detail of the architectural aspects of the building very clearly. The use of windows makes it look as if the whole thing is not projected but happening in real life.
The colour scheme is a psychedelic one which makes the building's features stand out even more. One of the most eye catching effects is the effect the ribbon makes when it is untied and pulled through the window and behind the wall.
